2027 Burton Cartel X EST Snowboard Bindings
The 2027 Burton Cartel X EST is a high-performance binding built for riders who want maximum response, precision, and board feel. Designed exclusively for Burton’s Channel® mounting system, the EST construction removes traditional hardware underfoot, creating a more direct connection that enhances natural board flex and control. With a medium-firm flex and upgraded materials, the Cartel X EST delivers powerful edge hold, increased stability at speed, and the responsiveness needed for aggressive all-mountain and freestyle riding. Features like the Heel Hammock highback and SensoryBED cushioning provide a locked-in feel while maintaining comfort through long, demanding days on the mountain.
Important: These bindings are ONLY compatible with Channel® mounting systems and will not work with 4x2, 4x4, or 3D boards.
