Fluidity and power. Drop your knee over the low softer flex inside Surf Sidewall. Brace and drive off the higher stiffer Power Sidewall. Crank turns with comfort and power. The Reactive Highback craddles your boot and removes pressure points at the top of the highback. The AirForm ankle strap conforms to your boot with independent pressure pods, eliminating pressure points and allowing for pinch-point free flex.
The Karakoram Free Ranger is the middle ground in the Connect Series and replaces the Connect R. The Asymmetrical Sidewalls have a high and low side. The outer side has a high sidewall for good power transfer to the tip and tail, while the inner side is low so you still have that ‚surfy‘ feel. The Reactive Highback is lightweight and medium stiff. All Connect bindings have an Open Chassis, which means that all non-functional material has been milled away. Not only does this save weight, but it also creates a more natural flex under the binding, which minimises the clattering of your board. Karakoram’s Active Joining technique presses the binding onto your board, while the two halves are pulled together at the split. This ensures great responsiveness on your solid and makes a split look like a solid.

By combining the freedom of movement of the Surf Sidewall with the Power Sidewall, Karakoram has created a great middle ground. The binding is also equipped with an EVA footbed, so you will have no trouble standing on your split or solid all day long. Equipped with the Air-Form strap. The Airpod allows for more comfort where the Air-form provides a better fit and more responsiveness. This is thanks to the closed structure of the Airpod. All unnecessary materials have been removed from the Air-Form Toe Straps, making the strap lighter and easier to pull over your toe like a hood.
