description Burton Custom Overview
Burton's Custom combines an all-mountain remit with a directional shape and balanced twin flex. That combination supports riding in the normal stance while retaining familiar flex behavior for switch riding and freestyle use. The Custom Camber version uses a cambered profile, making it relevant to riders who value edge control and response when carving or approaching jumps. The family suits riders looking for one board to cover varied resort terrain, including groomed runs and opportunities away from the piste.
Its appeal lies in combining turning performance with freestyle versatility, rather than specializing only in powder or park riding. Different profiles and model years should be distinguished when comparing boards. A generally soft, buttery feel should not be assumed from the Custom name alone.
help Burton Custom FAQ
What riding styles is the Burton Custom best suited for?
The Burton Custom is a legendary all-mountain snowboard designed to handle everything from fresh powder in the backcountry to groomed resort runs and park jumps. It features a directional shape that provides excellent stability at high speeds while maintaining twin-like characteristics for riding switch. It is the quintessential daily driver for intermediate to advanced riders.
What is the difference between the Burton Custom and the Burton Custom X?
While both boards share the same versatile shape, the Burton Custom X is a much stiffer, more aggressive version built for high-speed charging and aggressive carves. The standard Burton Custom is slightly softer, making it more playful, forgiving, and easier to maneuver for a wider range of skill levels. The Custom X also typically features higher-end core materials, like a Dragonfly core, for snappier performance.
Does the Burton Custom use a channel mounting system?
Yes, modern Burton Custom snowboards feature The Channel mounting system instead of traditional 4x4 binding screw inserts. This system allows you to mount Burton EST bindings with infinite adjustability for stance width and angle. It also works seamlessly with bindings from other major brands using a specialized disc adapter.
What is the core material used in the Burton Custom snowboard?
The board is constructed using a Super Fly II core, which utilizes strong and lightweight woods to reduce overall weight while maintaining pop and durability. Burton specifically uses sustainable woods and combines them with dual-zone EGD (Engineered Grain Direction) to optimize the board's edge hold and torsional flex. This construction provides the smooth, buttery feel the Custom is known for.
