Spark Pucks Standard or Canted

The aluminium Spark Pucks have been available since 2015.

Advantage:
They are better to adjust because you have more options. It is easier to put the boat with binding in the
desired e.g. central position.

Disadvantage:
On icy days (wet snow at the beginning of the tour) the ALU disks have a small disadvantage:
The ice (frozen wet snow) sticks more easily to the aluminium. On the plastic voile pucks the ice hardly holds on and is easier to remove.

Spark Alu pucks are also a little heavier than voile pucks ( approx. 20g per puck ).

Canted 3° pucks can allow the rider to ride more relaxed because the knees are automatically moved more inwards. This results in a better coordination between ankle, knee and hips when driving. The result is a better and more balanced riding position. This riding position is above all gentle on the joints. In practice, the difference is rarely really taken seriously. Unless you have hard boots. But what you notice is that it is a bit more tricky to attach the binding before you push it over the pucks. But it is also a matter of practice.

Standard or canted bindings fit all puck bindings:
