Burton: Custom X Snowboard

Last time we checked snowboards couldn't read minds or anticipate turns, but Burton's redesigned Custom X might be the closest you can get to telepathy on an all-terrain freestyle board. The Custom X has always been at the top of Burton's "feel" ratings for responsive snap and performance, but this season they pushed the envelope by adding a new Lightening Bolt fiberglass that almost instantaneously transfers energy from your boots to the snowboard edges without hesitation or second-guessing. The Custom X is a lightweight, incredibly snappy snowboard that's all freestyle for all terrain. It offers a VaporSkin topsheet membrane that drops the weight and enhances the overall feel and feedback from the positive core profile. This experts-oriented design leans toward a freeride platform but certainly holds its own in the half pipe and above the other terrain park toys. Burton augmented this stellar snowboard with more fiberglass for a ruggedly superior strength-to-weight ratio and a fast Sintered N20 WFO base, Dragonfly core and Pressure Distribution Edges for breathtaking speed, faster turns and plenty of pop. Burton's Dragonfly wood core with Multizone EGD (Engineered Grain Direction) is consistently recognized as one of the best wood core designs ever developed for snowboards, giving you exceptional power and durability without loading the ride down with excess ounces. Whether you're serious about a solid, all-around quality ride or you're moving up to the big leagues and big screen, the Burton Custom X is an easy choice for all-mountain lifestyles.
