Karakoram Free Ranger 2026
The Free Ranger is designed for riders who want a responsive and reliable binding for their splitboard without compromising on feel on the slopes. The chassis is built from CNC-machined aluminum with open sides that allow the board to flex naturally and retain its character. The construction provides direct power transfer and a stable feel underfoot, while keeping the weight low.
The binding features Reactive Highback – a lightweight and stiff carbon-reinforced nylon heel cap that provides precise support during edge pressure but allows movement when touring. The Dual Ride-Stride Forward Lean system lets you quickly switch between ride and walk modes with a simple hand movement.
Karakoram's Active Joining™ technology pulls the binding and board together during assembly, eliminating play and creating a more solid feel. This makes your splitboard feel like one whole board, not a split snowboard. The sides feature Power Sidewalls on the outside for stability and Surf Sidewalls on the inside for a softer, more responsive feel—a design that balances control and playfulness.
The Free Ranger has a medium flex that suits riders looking for a balance between power and comfort, and it's compatible with all modern splitboard systems. The straps are 3D-shaped for even pressure distribution and comfort on long rides.
Karakoram manufactures its bindings in the USA and focuses on durability and precision in every detail – built to last season after season.
Available at Inlandet Åre - we help you find the right size and setup to get the full potential out of your splitboard.
Karakoram
Karakoram är ett varumärke grundat 2008 av tvillingarna Tyler och Bryce Kloster, med en vision att förändra splitboard-världen. Deras passion för snowboarding kombineras med teknisk kunskap inom maskinteknik, och de har sedan gymnasiet ägnat sig åt att utveckla innovativ utrustning. Genom samarbete med snowboardikonen Jeremy Jones har Karakoram förfinat sina produkter, med fokus på design och användarvänlighet.
Till skillnad från många företag som flyttar produktionen utomlands, är 94% av delarna i Karakorams Prime-bindningar tillverkade i USA, och 91% i hemstaten Washington. Företaget värdesätter inte bara kvalitet, utan även personlig kundkontakt, där kunderna har direkt tillgång till företagets ägare och ingenjörer för feedback och support.
