What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying: "The Cartel X takes everything I loved about the original Cartels and makes it more powerful. The stiffer hi-back and Heel Hammock lock my boot in for instant response. Whether I’m charging steeps or hitting jumps, this binding feels rock-solid." Decades of proven performance evolve into the Burton Cartel X Snowboard Binding—an icon fine-tuned for riders who demand more power and precision. With a stiffer, canted hi-back and responsive baseplate, every turn feels dialed and confident, whether carving high-speed groomers or launching into technical terrain. The Single Component 45% short-glass/nylon composite baseplate delivers a lightweight yet robust platform that won’t fold under pressure, while Re:Flex technology preserves board flex and natural feel. Underfoot, the FullBED cushioning system and B3 Gel dampen impacts and chatter, keeping legs fresh lap after lap. Up top, the Heel Hammock cradles the boot in a rubbery suspension for locked-in response, while the Hammockstrap 2. 0 and Supergrip Capstrap 2. 0 provide seamless support and comfort. Compatible with all major mounting systems, the Cartel X is built to keep pace with advanced riding in any conditions.
