Burton launched the Instigator last season, & in no time at all, it very quickly became one of the best-selling entry priced boards on the market. Its combination of all-terrain versatility, excellent performance & stunning value for your money made it a no-brainer for riders looking to purchase their first set up. Built around a tapered directional shape with Flat Top profile & Cruise Control edges, the Instigator has been designed to make progressing your riding skills super easy. However, thanks to the class-leading design & construction, this is one board that's not going to feel out of sorts as you riding progresses. The Instigator is available as board only or as a great value package with Burton's Freestyle Binding.
Rider Profile
Beginner to intermediate riders who are looking for a versatile & easy going board to develop their riding skills.
Shape Overview
The Instigator utilises a versatile directional shape with 5mm of taper. This classic snowboard shape is designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the back while still giving you plenty of float, flow, & control to rip any terrain or condition. The tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, promoting smooth turn entry & exit, stability at speed, & enhanced deep snow floatation.
Profile
As the Instigator is all about that balance of performance, versatility & easy going nature, Burton fit it with their Flat Top profile. This places a flat profile between the feet meaning enhanced stability, better balance, & continuous edge control. The tip & tail kick up with an early rise outside the feet; this gives a reassuring catch-free ride combined with a looser more forgiving feeling you'd expect from rocker. To help the Instigator to deliver an even more predictable & catch free ride, Burton also add their Cruise Control Tune. This catch-free edge tune combines with rocker to help new riders progress, & good riders get even better.
Construction
As the Instigator is all about delivering that easy going & forgiving all-terrain ride, Burton uses a combination of modern technology & traditional construction. Heading this up is the advanced FSCª Certified Super Fly¨ 800G Core with Dualzoneª e GDª. This state of the art wood core uses utilises dual-density vertical laminations of alternating softwood/hardwood to reduce overall weight with no sacrifice in strength or performance. Now to dial in the perfect easy-going flex, the core is re-profiled with Squeezebox Low. This creates Stiffer zones just outside the feet creating a more direct energy transfer to the tip & tail while enabling a softer, smoother flex between the bindings. Now to give the Instigator its more forgiving ride it utilises bi-ax glass structural layers. These deliver a playful torsionally soft flex that makes learning a breeze.
Base
To deliver great performance with minimal effort or maintenance, the Instigator utilises Burton's extruded Base.
