Karakoram XW-Carbon 2026

The Karakoram XW-Carbon is a stiff, responsive splitboard binding built for experienced backcountry riders. Its 100% carbon-fiber highback, Prime X baseplate and lightweight construction deliver precise control on demanding descents while preserving the board’s natural flex.

Touring performance is equally well considered, with Power-Link ride-mode engagement, Dual Ride-Stride forward lean and Dual-Speed risers with heel lock. Air-Pod ankle and AirForm toe straps provide a secure, comfortable fit, making this a strong choice for ambitious women splitboarders who want efficient climbs and confident, high-performance riding.
