Are splitboard bindings as responsive as regular bindings for riding?

Modern splitboard bindings have largely closed the performance gap with resort bindings. The puck interface adds a small amount of stack height and potential flex, but most riders—especially those who aren't riding at the absolute limit—won't notice a significant difference. Karakoram's active joining system further reduces any performance gap by eliminating seam flex. If you're coming from resort bindings, expect a brief adaptation period but comparable performance within a few runs.
