Burton Cartel X EST 2022

The 2022 Mens Burton Cartel X EST Binding takes the fan favourite Cartel and knocks it up a notch (Bam!) to create the latest and greatest in binding tech, the Cartel X EST. Fully upgraded with a stiffer baseplate, upgraded straps for enhanced boot grip and a Heel Hammock for response and comfort in the highback, you can guarantee a better responding binding and smoother ride. For legendary performance with premium response and a buttery smooth ride, the Cartel X should be your go-to.

Binding Type: All Mountain Freestyle

Flex: 8/10 (Stiff)

Board Compatibility: This EST binding is only compatible with Burton snowboards featuring The Channel mounting system.

Base Plate:

Cartel X EST

The Cartel X EST baseplate features a dual-component construction, comprised of a 45% short-glass/nylon composite baseplate and a 30% short-glass/nylon composite spar. This gives you a responsive yet playful ride that is stiffer edge to edge for improved balance. This EST-specific baseplate removes the rigid material under your foot and replaces it with a flexible cushioned footbed, reducing the weight of the binding, increasing board feel, and maintaining the natural flex of the board. 

The Hinge

Unique to EST bindings, The Hinge activates medial and lateral flex for a smoother feel and easier ollies, while allowing the board to flex more naturally and reducing stress and fatigue on your legs. 

Highback: 

Cartel X Highback

The Cartel X Highback consists of a single piece, resulting in instant response. This zero-lean canted design follows the contours of your legs to maximise control and comfort, while the Living Hinge built into the highback provides independent forward lean and highback rotation options while still reducing weight and materials, and works in conjunction with the Burton DialFLAD so you can easily dial in your desired forward lean.

Heel Hammock

The Cartel X goes above and beyond with the addition of a Heel Hammock at the base of the highback. This Heel Hammock features a reinforced rubbery material that wraps your boot heel, providing complete suspension for lightning fast response and a smoother boot to binding connection. 

Buckles: 

Smooth Glide Ratchets

Burtons Dual Component Smooth Glide Ratchets offer reliable and durable performance for hassle free ratcheting all season long. Featuring quality materials and a durable design, these ratchets are super smooth, easy to use, and are made to last.

Straps: 

Hammockstrap 2.0

The new Hammockstrap 2.0 now features a lower profile and a reduced weight for a more comfortable fit. The pre curved design fits smoothly around your boot and won’t be giving you any pressure points.

Flex Slider

The Burton Flex Slider gets your ankle strap out of the way, so gone are the days of battling with your ankle strap when you’re trying to get your boot into your binding. These flex points are specially designed to be super strong as well, so they are just as durable despite the constant flexing.

Supergrip Capstrap 2.0

The Burton Supergrip Capstrap 2.0 is one of the best toe straps on the market, with a super grippy interior that holds onto your boot in freezing temperatures, and a design that hugs the contours of nearly every boot. This upgraded Supergrip Capstrap is fully injected to reduce waste, and features a rubber overmold to keep the strap in place while providing greater coverage over the toebox of the boot. 

Cushioning:

AutoCANT Sensorybed Cushioning System

This dual-density EVA footbed works to settle your boot into a naturally comfortable position, regardless of your stance width and angles, which helps to align your joints and gives you less fatigue and a more comfortable ride.

B3 Gel

B3 Gel under your heel provides ultimate dampening for hard landings and rough snow, and is formulated to withstand repeated impacts and cold temperatures without any reduction in performance.
