The Burton Custom X has made a name for itself as the go-to board for those guys who want to go fast and send it big. Over the years some of snowboarding's most demanding riders have helped tweak and craft the ultimate freeride board, with an emphasis on precision and power. The biggest advantage of this is the Custom X's high tech elements, such as carbon highlights replacing fiberglass elements, a competition-grade base, and Burtons revolutionary Squeezebox core design. This year Burton has tweaked the shape to make for the hardest charging board they could possibly make.
Rider Type: All Mountian
Shape: Directional Twin
Flex: 9/10 - Super Responsive!
Rocker: Traditional Camber
Ability Level: Advanced / Expert
CAMBER
Camber - An advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision, camber speaks to the core values of board design. Offering a snappy suspension, the camber distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board for smooth, continuous edge control from tip to tail.
FLEX
Twin Flex - The flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that's equally versatile regular or switch.
SHAPE
Directional - The classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition.
Pro-Tip - A tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility.
CORE
DragonFly 600G Core - The Dragonfly core uses end-grain woods in the impact zones of the board, which lets them swap out heavier woods for lighter ones, without losing strength.
Multizone EGD - A Burton exclusive. Manipulating the angles and direction of wood grain placement within the core results in ultimate edge-hold, response, and durability. In four separate zones, the wood grain is perpendicular to the core adjacent to The Channel - the area from which a rider's power emanates - for ultimate strength and edge control.
Squeezebox - Burton's most versatile Squeezebox profile improves pop and performance through the balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections. Rider energy is transferred outward from beneath the feet, energizing the tip and tail while making the board snappier, more stable, and easier to manipulate.
LAMINATES
45 ° Carbon Highlights High Voltage - Carbon Highlights optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine-tune torsional feel to achieve different ride characteristics. A 60 ° fiber angle creates a highly maneuverable and playful feel, while a 45 ° fiber angle provides a more aggressive ride.
BASE
Sintered WFO - Infusing a specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material results in an ultra-durable base that stays wide open all season and in any condition.
EDGES
Frostbite Edges - Frostbite extends out slightly beneath your bindings for tremendous edge-hold on hard, icy conditions. Powerful when you need them, playful when you dont, Frostbite Edges are hungry for hard-pack while remaining smooth, flowing, and forgiving.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Super Sap ® Epoxy - A resin formulated with bio-based materials that reduce the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies. Less oil consumption means even less of a carbon footprint per board.
Infinite Ride - This Burton-exclusive technology allows maximized pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Whether you choose to ride Flat Top, Flying V, or Camber, rest assured that with Infinite Ride your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.
BINDING COMPATIBILITY
The Channel ® Mounting System - Stronger, faster, easier, and more adjustable -- The Channel gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton's).
Channel Inserts Included - Channel Inserts are required to mount your bindings. Inspect packaging before disposing of.
