Burton Step On Cartel X EST Men's Snowboard Bindings—Burton Step On men's bindings are exclusively compatible with men's Step On boots! They combine the proven versatility of the Cartel X series with the speed and simplicity of the Step On system. They are designed for more demanding snowboarders who require precise control, solid support, and maximum control over the snowboard during dynamic riding. A major advantage is the combination of the Step On system with the EST mounting system, which ensures more direct contact with the snowboard, a more natural feel of its flex, and a wide range of stance adjustment options. As a result, the binding offers excellent responsiveness, stability, and efficient energy transfer when riding on edge.
- Flex: 6–9/10 (stiffer to stiff construction with quick response, high stability, and precise energy transfer)
- Step On® System: This innovative system allows for quick and easy attachment of the snowboard boot directly to the binding without traditional straps and buckles. The boot is secured using two hooks in the toe area and a single connection point in the heel area. A convenient lever on the heel of the binding is used to release the boot
- EST® Mounting System: Burton’s special mounting system that eliminates the traditional mounting disc and screws under the foot. It allows for more natural snowboard flex, better contact with the board, and a wide range of stance adjustments, including width, angle, and position
- Single-Component Baseplate: A one-piece baseplate made from a single material ensures consistent flex, reliable response, and efficient energy transfer when riding on various terrains
- 45% Short-Glass/Nylon Composite: The baseplate utilizes a nylon composite containing 45% short glass fibers. This combination ensures high strength, durability, and the necessary stiffness for precise snowboard control
- SensoryBED™ Cushioning System: A dual-layer EVA cushion automatically positions the boot in a natural stance regardless of stance width or angle, ensuring comfort, reduced fatigue, and smoother, more precise control over the snowboard
- DialFLAD™: A rotary mechanism allows for easy adjustment of the rear heel cup’s forward lean. A greater forward lean provides a faster and more active response when riding on edge, while a smaller forward lean offers a more relaxed stance and greater freedom of movement
- Recommended use: All-Mountain – versatile use on groomed slopes and in more challenging mountain terrain; Freeride – solid support, stability, and precise response during fast riding and more demanding descents; Carving – a stiffer construction supports rapid energy transfer and precise turn control; Freestyle – also suitable for dynamic riding and jumps, especially for more experienced riders who prefer stiffer bindings
