These absolutely ride the best of any splitboard binding I've ever tried. No foot cramping on long exits or in the flats. They really do ride like regular bindings. IF you get a set, just take the time to learn how they work and practice a few times at home, you do have to be intentional with your routine on change overs, but once you have a routine, they are no longer to do than Sparks. Also, the sucking the board together is no joke, they absolutely make the deck ride with no slop.
