Hier weiss man, was man bekommt. Schön leicht, superschneller & simpler Wechsel von HikeToRide und umgekehrt, hochwertige Materialien und Verarbeitung, grandiose Straps, sehr gutes Feedback beim Hoch und Runter. Hier hat Burton mit der Zusammenarbeit mit Spark einen Volltreffer gelandet. Auch auf einem Solid richtig stark.

Petit feedback sur la fixation BURTON Hitchhiker
Envoi sur Paris rapide et gratuit. Le carton marqué "splitboards europe" a été livré avec UPS.
La fixation est moins légére que les sparks classiques mais sont selon moi beaucoup plus comfortable. Le système pour ajuster l'angle du support molet fonctionne particulièrement bien. Le système de fixation sur la board en mode ascension est vraiment très pratique et efficace. La fixation sur la board en mode ride sur les pucks peut etre un peu plus compliqué lorsque les rails sont plein de neige mais en règle général, ca fonctionne super bien.

As you can see, we didn't give this binding its own category, that it is a Spark and is produced for Burton at Spark. Spark and Burton have been working together for some time. Spark had obtained ratchets from China in his early beginnings and had fallen on his nose with the quality. So it made sense to purchase this product directly from binding manufacturer No.1. Later, Burton approached Spark with a wish. The hitchhiker is a mixture of arc and surge. It has the light footbed of the Arc but the more comfortable straps of the Surge and Burton. It doesn't really matter whether a Spark or a hitchhiker - because both come from Spark.
Since Spark introduced the Pillow Line Straps on all models, the Hitchhiker is the most comfortable Spark binding on the market.
In particular, Burton's patented TOE CAP Strap of the current model, fits really well.
I find the slightly higher weight through more comfortable straps is not a problem, as it is only a few grams.
