Quick overview
Karakoram has rebranded the Connect line. The Connect line is designed for the backcountry rider as well as for the rider who likes the resorts. With the option to ride splits and solids with one binding. Karakoram's motto says it all: 'Buy more boards, not more bindings'. A solid binding that offers a lot of comfort compared to the Alpine series and is equal to 'standard' bindings. The Microburst is the same binding as the Layback, but for smaller feet. This binding is designed for riders with a fluid style, who like exploring the backcountry but also enjoy their laps on-piste.
Tour Interface included. Quiver connectors not included
Details
Performance
The Karakoram Microburst has been designed with a 'Laid Back' responsiveness and replaces the Connect S. The binding retains a fast edge change thanks to the toestay being made narrower and has a more 'surfy' feel towards the tip and tail due to the new 'Surf Sidewalls'. This gives you more lateral freedom of movement. The Air-Flow Highback is also designed for freedom of movement, making this the softest Karakoram highback with a lot of open space to save weight. All Connect bindings have an Open Chassis, which means that all non-functional material has been milled away. Not only does this save weight, but it also creates a more natural flex under the binding, which minimises the clattering of your board. Karakoram's Active Joining technique presses the binding onto your board, while the two halves are pulled together at the split. This ensures great responsiveness on your solid and makes a split look like a solid.

Comfort
The Microburst 's freedom of movement is what truly adds to the comfort. The binding is also equipped with an EVA footbed, so you will have no trouble standing on your split or solid all day long. Equipped with the Ankle Surf strap that contributes to the comfort and the AirForm Toe strap. The Toestrap conforms to your boot with independent compression pods, eliminating pressure points and allowing for pinch point free flex. Keep your feet happy and boots snug in your bindings while touring and riding. Made from Dupont Hytrel, the AirForm straps when paired will shave weight and save your feet.

Use
The Karakoram interface operates by using the signature lever at the heelcup that allows the binding to be released from the interface. The Dual Ride-Stride Forward Lean Adjuster on the highback is designed to be easily rotated 90° and 180°. This gives you a Forward Lean of -8° during touring and the possibility of 0° to 22° during boarding. All Karakoram Connect bindings available at Snowcountry are supplied with the Prime Connect 2.0 Interface and ready to use for your split. The Microburst is equipped with a Single Speed Riser. Quiver Connectors for your solid, available in the shop.
