Burton Cartel Re: Flex Snowboard Binding
- Cement
- 2013
The Burton Cartel has been in snowboarding for so long it has almost become the benchmark for bindings, everyone seems to have had a set over the years & every new binding to hit the market is compared with them in one way or another. So how do they stay ahead of the game? Well, the Cartel’s are built around comfort & performance, two tenants dear to any snowboarder, which they attain using a raft of features & materials that have evolved with the bindings over their many incarnations. Performance is achieved by using Burton’s lifetime guaranteed single-component combination of short glass & nylon composite in the baseplate married to their new Living Hinge Zero-Lean Hi-Back with dialable forward lean adjustment or FLAD. Comfort is taken care of by the Auto CANT Full BED cushioning system with B3 Gel in the heel & EVA dampening under the baseplate for those flat landings while the new React strap & Gettagrip Capstraps hold you in place. This particular Cartel comes with hinged Re: Flex disks, which allow a more natural board flex, & can be used on any board that features an 3D or 4x 4 insert pattern. The Cartel Re: Flex has a flex rating if 7/10 making it ideal for free-riders of any ability & freestylers who ride in hard & fast.
