Spark R&D Whammy Bars. Retrofit climbing wire upgrades for quick, tool‑free high/low/stowed transitions on touring bindings.
The Spark R&D Whammy Bars are a smart touring upgrade designed to replace stock climbing wires on single‑wire splitboard bindings. Featuring a side arm lever, you can use your touring pole to flip the bar into 12°, then 18° climbing positions, and back up to stow, making transitions faster and smoother on uphill runs. Built with lightweight materials and rugged construction, these bars add minimal weight while improving touring efficiency and reliability. Compatible with all T1 binding systems — including T1, Burton Hitchhiker, and Nitro Vertical — these bars are ideal for splitboard riders who want a more ergonomic and dependable climb mode.
