About the product
Karakoram Prime-X
Low weight for long climbs. Power and precision when it’s time to ride. The Karakoram Prime-X is a splitboard binding for riders seeking bigger lines and more from every metre of elevation.
A CNC-machined 7000-series aluminium chassis combines with Carbon Nyolite components to deliver high strength at low weight. Aluminium and titanium screws, along with hollow titanium pins, reduce weight even further. The open chassis lets the binding move with your board’s natural flex for a fluid feel underfoot.
The C4 Carbon highback features a stiffer lower section for support and leverage through turns, while the more flexible upper section adds touring comfort and room to tweak. Active Joining locks the binding to the board without play, delivering immediate response when you engage your edge.
CNC-machined aluminium chassis: Strong, lightweight construction in 7075-T6 aluminium.
C4 Carbon highback: Powerful support down low with a more forgiving flex up top.
Lightweight hardware: Aluminium and titanium screws with hollow Grade 5 titanium pins.
Active Joining: A play-free connection for direct power transfer and precise edge control.
Included: Bindings and Interface Kit with Ride Mode 3.0, Tour Mode and DualSpeed Riser with Heel-Lock.
For solid snowboards: Add Quiver-Connectors, sold separately.

Binding technology
C4 Carbon Highback
The shape of Karakoram’s Reactive Highback in lighter, slightly stiffer Carbon Nyolite. Flex 8/10 on Karakoram’s scale.
Ti and Al Hardware
Screws in anodised 7075-T6 aluminium or grade 5 titanium and hollow titanium pins, to save weight.
AirPod Strap
Ankle strap with independent pressure pods that shape to the boot and reduce pressure and pinch points. Made from P-Lite TPE.
Carbon Buckles
Buckles made from recycled carbon fibre that would otherwise go to landfill. Light and durable.
Asymmetric Heelcup
A higher outside sidewall for edge power when touring, and a lower inside wall so you can drop your knee into the turn or tweak a grab.
7075-T6 Open Chassis
An open chassis machined entirely from 7075-T6 aluminium. The binding follows the board’s natural twist, with no dead spots underfoot.
Downhill – Ride Mode
Active Joining
The binding slides on loosely, and closing the lever locks it to the board with no play, for a direct connection when you set an edge.
Ride Mode 3.0
The ride-mode interfaces are composite, with material only where it is needed for strength at low weight.
Uphill – Tour Mode
Tour Mode
The touring bracket pivots on a fixed through axle for a stable, smooth stride. Snow clears as you step in, and the bracket releases quickly at transitions.
DualSpeed Riser
Climbing risers in two heights, flipped up and down with your pole basket.
Heel-Lock
Lock your heel to the board on the way up without stepping out. The lock folds away when not needed.
