2027 Burton Family Tree High Fidelity Splitboard
The 2027 Burton Family Tree High Fidelity Splitboard is a powerful freeride split built for advanced riders chasing steep lines, technical terrain, and high-consequence backcountry descents. Directional Camber combines camber under both feet with a rockered nose, delivering strong edge control and stability in variable snow while adding lift and float when conditions get deep. Burton's Balanced Freeride Geometry pairs setback camber with a sidecut centered on the rider's stance, creating a stable directional ride that remains quick and responsive through demanding terrain. A lightweight Super Fly II™ 700G Splitboard Core and 45° Carbon Highlights keep the board powerful and responsive without unnecessary weight, making the High Fidelity a serious backcountry platform built with the descent firmly in mind.

Tech
Camber Profile
- Directional Camber: Camber under both feet provides stability, edge control, and response through variable conditions, while a rockered nose adds lift and float in deeper snow.

Flex
- 6–9/10 (Stiff): A powerful flex range built for advanced riders who prioritize stability, response, and control in demanding backcountry terrain.
- Directional Flex: Increased pop through the tail combines with a more resilient nose to maintain control across changing terrain and snow conditions.
Shape
- Balanced Freeride Geometry: Setback camber is paired with a sidecut centered on the rider's stance. This creates a balanced feel when riding a flat base while delivering quick turns, directional float, and freeride performance once the board is put on edge.
- 7mm Taper: A narrower tail than nose supports the High Fidelity's directional freeride shape and helps the board perform in soft snow.
Core
- Super Fly II™ 700G Splitboard Core: Uses stronger, lighter wood to provide pop and strength while reducing overall board weight.
- Squeezebox: Strategically varies core thickness with thicker, more powerful sections and thinner, more flexible sections. This transfers rider energy outward from beneath the feet to energize the tip and tail while improving snap, stability, and board control.
Laminates
- 45° Carbon Highlights: Optimizes the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine-tune torsional response. The 45° fiber orientation creates a more responsive and aggressive ride characteristic.
Base
- Sintered WFO Base: Extra-absorbent, high-density sintered base material infused with specially formulated wax deep into its pores for fast, durable performance across changing snow conditions.
Skin Attachment
- Secure Skin Attachment: A skin-ready tail design creates a seamless connection with Burton splitboard skins.
Additional Features
- Infinite Ride™: Burton overbuilds the board before mechanically breaking it in, helping stabilize the flex, pop, and overall ride feel from the first day forward.
- Freeride Focus: Part of Burton's Family Tree collection, with a freeride-focused design centered around off-piste performance.
- Super Sap® Epoxy: Bio-based resin formulated to reduce the carbon footprint by 50% compared with conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies.
Binding Compatibility
- Split Channel: Burton's splitboard-specific Channel mounting system provides extensive stance adjustability for fine-tuning binding position.
- Pre-Mounted Pucks: The Split Channel comes with pucks pre-mounted for easier initial binding setup.
Warranty
- 3 Years: Backed by Burton's three-year manufacturer warranty.
