Burton Cartel X bindings take everything you know and love about the classic Cartel binding to the next level. With a new and improved ultra-stiff highback, you get the powerful and responsive feel of a super expensive top of the line binding, for a very reasonable price.
With Burton’s innovative Heel Hammock gripping the heel of your boot and holding it strongly in place, the stiff highback enables you to drive power down into the board. They also feature a stiffer, more powerful baseplate to provide more efficient energy transfer.
While hot spots or pinch points are often an issue with other stiff bindings, fully malleable and well-designed straps, FullBED cushioning, and B3 Gel underfoot provide the ultimate in binding comfort.
