Spark R&D Tech Toes

Limits stance/front binding position

Seems well engineered like all Spark equip, but not going to work for me. Disclaimer: These might work perfectly fine for most folks, and this is based entirely off my personal preference! I tried mounting to a Korua Dart 162 and these forced me to mount front pucks further forward, limiting binding position stance, angle, and room to actually slide front binding into place. (Didn’t measure, but had to shift my stance significantly more forward.) I ride a fairly narrow stance with steeper binding angles sometimes, and it was pretty obvious these weren’t going to work. Even with the lever fully in the locked (closed) position, front foot space was still not to my liking. (For reference, I have Spark Dyno DH bindings and 29.5 Key Equipment Disruptive) I never attempted to test them out on the mountain and ended up returning for the Voile STS. The Voile is a simpler design with less moving parts and takes up way less space. All other Spark hardware works fine with the Voile: bindings, wires, and even the D-Rex crampons. (Picture was taken after I moved the pucks further back.)

Love em so far. Still getting used to the hardboot set up, but so far the gear seems great.
