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 'solid' bindings. The Recon is designed for the more aggressive or larger riders who want good responsiveness. For the boardercross rider who loves the backcountry.
Tour Interface included. Quiver connectors not included.
Performance
The Karakoram Recon is the stiffest binding in the Connect Series and replaces the Connect Ci. The Power Sidewalls are designed to transfer the power you possess to the board. The Reactive Carbon Infused Highback is lightweight and stiff. 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 Recon's response and stiffness is what it's all about. The binding is equipped with an EVA footbed, so you will have no trouble standing on your split or solid all day long. Equipped with the AirForm strap that contributes to the comfort, The Airpod allows for more comfort where the Air-form provides a better fit and more responsiveness. This is thanks to the closed structure of the Airpod. All unnecessary materials have been removed from the Air-Form Toe Straps, making the strap lighter and easier to pull over your toe like a hood.
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 both split and solid. The Recon is equipped with a Single Speed Riser, which might be limiting when climbing steeper slopes.
