What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This is the binding I grab when I want to ride everything in one day-park laps, steeps, side hits. The EST baseplate feels incredibly connected to the board, and The Hinge makes ollies and presses way easier. It's stiff enough for power turns but still playful when I want to get creative."Designed for riders who demand both power and board feel, the Burton Cartel X EST Snowboard Binding blends precision control with dynamic response. Built around a Dual-Component baseplate and exclusive EST mounting system, it gives an unmatched connection to the board for better energy transfer and smoother flex. The Hinge(TM) technology increases foot roll and pop, making it easier to boost ollies and stay loose on freestyle features without sacrificing stability. A stiff highback delivers maximum control in technical terrain, while the SensoryBED(TM) cushioning and B3 Gel absorb impacts and vibrations to keep fatigue at bay. The Heel Hammock cradles your boot securely for lightning-fast response, and the Hammockstrap(TM) 2. 0 and Supergrip Capstrap(TM) 2. 0 lock your foot in with minimal weight and maximum comfort. From park jumps to steep carves, the Cartel X EST is built to charge every line with confidence.
