The Cartel X EST® Snowboard Bindings is for aggressive all mountain and freestyle riders who want pro-caliber control in any condition. Designed with the EST® underfoot flex system, these bindings offer unmatched board feel and stance adjustability for riders looking to charge hard, hit jumps, and explore the entire mountain. The dual-component baseplate with Hinge technology delivers dynamic flex for effortless ollies, less fatigue, and precise response edge-to-edge. The fully adjustable Living Hinge hi-back with DialFLAD™ allows riders to fine-tune forward lean while the Heel Hammock ensures a locked-in fit and fast, responsive turns. With SensoryBED and B3 gel cushioning, these bindings provide long-lasting comfort and dampening in all conditions, and the Smooth Glide™ buckles offer bomb-proof reliability. Compared to other brands, the Cartel X EST® combines lightweight construction, pro-level features, and a zero-forward-lean freestyle mindset, while standing out within Burton’s lineup for its dual-component baseplate and refined all-terrain versatility.
