There’s a good reason why you will see so many Burton Cartel bindings on the hill. They balance the ideal stiffness & comfort required by the majority of all mountain riders. Supremely adjustable, & ergonomic like few others, the Cartel bindings are comfortable & simple to set up. They are packed with tech, & by utilising Burton’s proprietary EST channel system, will improve the performance from your Burton snowboard too.

Features: Base/ Heelcups 45% Short Glass/ Nylon Composite is the second stiffest baseplate material that Burton use. It is pretty stiff, but ideal for all conditions, & hard riding. 30% Short Glass/ Nylon Composite has a slightly more forgiving flex than some of Burton’s stiffer baseplate materials, making it ideal for all day riding, particularly for lighter/laid back riders. Stiff enough for dropping into couloirs, soft enough for sliding rails. The Hinge is a design exclusive to Burton EST bindings. By articulating the binding at the points of contact with the board, they allow a more forgiving, & natural range of movement of your foot in your binding. The Hinge will add fluidity to your setup, & allow you to ride longer, harder & further. Lifetime Baseplate guarantee covering manufacturer defects for life. It’s rare to see a Burton baseplate fail, but it’s comforting to know that their quibble free replacement will be on your board before you can say ‘ Did you get that on film?’ Anatomical Left & Right Baseplates is a more costly way to design & manufacture a snowboard binding, but your left & right feet are not the same, so why shouldn’t your baseplates match your feet? Straps: React Straps are 3D shaped ankle straps, designed to match the contour of any snowboard boot. Getta Grip Capstraps feature 3D shaping for the ultimate fit. They are constructed from ‘ Grip Fit’ rubber for excellent retention & can be used as Cap straps or Toe Straps (does anyone still ride like that?). Burton Cap Straps are some of the most universally compatible shapes, & fit perfectly over almost every boot on the market. Highback: Living Hinge Highbacks separate the forward lean adjustment from the highback rotation, allowing an almost infinite combination of highback setup positions. This design also saves weight over standard highback mounting designs. Zero Forward Lean Highbacks have the ability (but not the limitation) to be set up with no forward lean at all. This is great for jibbing & rail riding, as it gets them well out of the way. You can, of course, still crank them forward for icy all mountain conditions. FLAD Forward lean adjusters allow you to adjust the angle of your highbacks or your ‘forward lean’. A greater forward lean angle will improve your heel edge re
