The long awaited release of the next innovation from Spark R&D, makers of splitboard specific super bindings is here.

The FUSE binding is now available at select dealers in small quantities and there is also a handful available directly from Spark R&D online. This binding baseplate is CNC milled from a solid block of aluminum in house at Spark, along with some Bent Metal hardwear its lighter and cleaner then its predecesser the Ignition I & II. I for one am totally stoked and plan to pick up a pair ASAP. Check back here in a few weeks for an initial impression and hopefully a full and detailed review based on REAL BACKCOUNTRY USER EXPERIENCE (not just marketing fluff) before the New Year.

See below a communication I received directly from Spark R&D this morning. Happy shredding everyone…

Hello all ye splitboard enthusiasts!

As all of you know Spark R&D has recently released our new Fuse binding, and as you also know.. there are many of you eagerly awaiting their arrival for purchase. Well, we have em!

One reason they are behind is because we were shipped buckles with red and yellow color accents on them instead of the black we ordered. We are finding most folks are not to worried about it, and if you really can’t deal with it, we’ll work with you when the black ones show up.

We have shipped nearly seventy (70) Fuse bindings of various sizes to a handful of dealers.. mostly in North America, here they are:

Prior Snowboards in Whistler, BC; the Back Country in Truckee, California; Hoback Sports in Jackson, Wyoming; Tribute Board Shop in Nelson, BC; White Pine Touring in Park City, Utah; Snowboard Connection in Seattle, Washington, and a handful to our local shop, World Boards here in Bozeman.

For those of you not near any of our dealers, we have put a limited quantity in our online store.. 13 Small and 17 Medium:

Our friend Takumi from Voltage in Japan has a fresh pack of Fuse with his custom graphics.

These folks only have certain sizes and quantities at the moment, but we are cranking out more binders as fast as we can.. be patient, they are coming! If you need more info about these dealers, check out our “Dealers” page on our website:
