Spark R&D Canted Pucks are the ride mode mounts for a puck style splitboard binding, with 3 degrees of cant built in to reduce knee strain.

What it's for

Pucks are the parts that stay bolted to your splitboard. In ride mode the binding slides over them and locks, which also ties the two board halves together under your feet. This set tilts each foot inward by 3 degrees, which Spark offers to reduce strain on the knees.

How it works

Puck system: Each foot uses two puck halves, one per board half, joined by an oversize center disk that overlaps the binding channels for strength. The binding slides on over soft nylon surfaces.

Cant: The 3 degree cant is molded into the pucks, so no shims are needed.

Stance setup: The pucks let you set stance width, binding angle and toe to heel centering independently before you tighten them down.

Features

• Cant: 3 degrees
• Toe and heel adjustment: plus or minus 0.25 in (6.5 mm)
• Angle adjustment: plus or minus 30 degrees in 3 degree steps
• Stance width adjustment: 0.17 in (4.2 mm) steps

Compatibility

• Bindings: All puck compatible splitboard bindings, with the exception of the K2 Kwicker

Setup and installation

• Spacing check: Spark's setup page gives the outside length from puck to puck as 7 5/8 in (19.35 cm). The binding should slide on without jamming.
• Tight fit: New pucks can feel tight and break in after a couple of changeovers. If needed, Spark says to sand lightly on the top and sides with fine grit sandpaper.
• Guide: Spark publishes a Canted Pucks setup PDF on its setup page. OMG can mount pucks for you.
