Karakoram Prime-XW + Split Interface Splitboard Bindings – Women’s 2025

The penultimate binding in Karakoram’s women’s lineup, with a more forgiving feel than the X-Carbon, the Karakoram Prime-XW + Split Interface Splitboard Bindings go all-out in the materials department. They include special aluminum and titanium hardware and hollow titanium pins to get the weight down to 550 grams per binding and make every ascent quicker and easier. Featuring a Carbon Nyolite highback with a manageable “8” flex and Wayfinder straps for smaller feet, the PrimeX-W is the prime choice for the dedicated splitboarder.

Dual Ride Stride
–
Adjusts to -8˚ for touring

Dualspeed Riser
–
Adjusts with a pole basket to 3 heights

Smooth Touring Pivot
–
Independent sleeves rotate freely on a fixed thru-axle, similar to a bike axle, making these stiff and smooth. They're wide for touring rigidity, they shed snow well, and the quick-releasing bracket allows for simple transitions.

  Ability Level

  Advanced-Expert
  Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
