Burton Step On Cartel X EST

Yes. These bindings are exclusively compatible with Burton Step On boots. You cannot use them with standard strap-in snowboard boots.

The EST system is designed specifically for Burton boards featuring The Channel mounting system. It allows for infinite stance adjustability and a more natural board flex, but it will not mount to standard 4x4 or 2x4 insert patterns found on most other brands.

The Step On system is surprisingly reliable in varied conditions. While you should clear any packed snow or ice from the heel cleat before stepping in, the mechanism is designed to lock securely even when snow is present.

Yes, the Cartel X is built with a 45% short-glass/nylon composite baseplate, making it one of the more responsive options in the Step On lineup. It provides the rigidity needed for high-speed carving and technical terrain.

Yes, the DialFLAD system allows you to adjust your forward lean on the fly without needing a screwdriver. It is a quick, tool-free adjustment that lets you dial in your stance for better heel-side response.

Burton provides a lifetime warranty on the baseplate, which covers manufacturing defects. The hi-back is covered by a 1-year warranty.
