Burton - CARTEL EST (09/10)

A peak to parking lot tour de force - the Burton Cartel EST™ is a very capable freestyle binding. Shredded daily by Jeremy, Heikki, Tadashi, Mason, Kevin and a host of pros not sponsored by Burton, it’s no wonder this is the target every competitor is aiming for.

With the comfort and control of an anatomical hi-back and added feel and cushioning of the NEW SensoryBED™ II, dreams don’t get more real than this.

Featured Tech

EST

Now available on more models, and with five unique and interchangeable cushioning systems, you won't find a ride like EST™ anywhere else but Burton. EST's endless list of benefits include unlimited stance options with next-level micro-adjustability, a truer flex pattern from your board, and more cushioning, board feel, and control than anything else out there. To truly comprehend the EST experience, you have to ride it.

Hi-Backs

Canted Living Hinge™
This exclusive technology eliminates excess hardware and weight, and even allows you to adjust your Forward Lean™ independent of your hi-back rotation. Set your hi-back rotation once, never touch it again, and still be able to adjust the Forward Lean any time.

Single-Component Construction
The simplicity of a one-piece design means immediate response that lets you feel the entire mountain. Through material blends we can then control the overall flex profile—from soft and surfy to ultra responsive.

Cushioning

Dual Zone B3 Gel Cushioning
The same cushioning found in our high-end boots, B3 Gel lets you stomp flat landings without self-detonating.

NEW Removable SensoryBED II Cushioning System
An instant classic, the SensoryBED™ offers all the cushioning, board feel, and extra-sensory control that EST is famous for, in a versatile, shred-everything package. The NEW SensoryBED II includes B3 Gel under the ball of your foot in addition to the B3 Gel in the heel.

Straps

Superstrap™

• Superstrap™ Construction
• 3D® Curved, Triple Axis Spine
• NeoPadding

Ultra Capstrap

• 3D® Curved, Triple Axis Spine
• Ultra-Minimized Capstrap™ Construction with True Wrap Toe Window
• Conformable from Capstrap or Toe StraP

Buckles

Dual-Component
Dual-component hi-backs let us modify the flex profile by interchanging the frames on the spine. The spine maintains the structural integrity and flex of the hi-back, while the frame acts independently to support the boot. By doing this we can offer more comfortable and supportive hi-backs while eliminating dreaded calf bite.

Smooth Glide Buckle Technology
Buttery smooth entry and release, and unmatched strength are the trademarks of our Smooth Glide™ buckle technology. Polished, chrome-plated aluminum and lightweight polycarbonate levers give you season after season of premium ratcheting power. Best of all, our buckles are designed and built by us, not some shady supplier.

Response

 Binding Response - 7_
Every binding in our line rides differently. The best way to describe the type of ride is through our response rating. The response rating is based primarily on the construction, profile, and materials used in the baseplate, hi-back, cushioning system, and straps, as well as feedback we get from our team riders and product testers. Based only as a comparison between the bindings within our line, a rating of one is more relaxed while ten is more responsive.
