Here you find the new technical features, additional to that you find same explaining clips in our MediaPlayer.



Snowboards

The Channel
The Channel is snowboarding’s most direct connection—focusing power through a central connection spine that evenly distributes energy for added rebound and snap. It works with both Burton’s 3D® and EST™ bindings, and lets you mount bindings to board any way you see fit. Easily dial in your stance width and angles with next-level micro-adjustability.


V-Rocker
A three-stage rocker that’s equally fun from park to pow, V-Rocker™ features a center rocker between your feet, with additional rockers outside each foot that lift the tip and tail completely off the snow. Along the Channel zones, we added Pressure Distribution Edges for enhanced grip and power that balances the board’s loose and forgiving, skate-like feel. Together, the V-Rocker package energizes edge control while disengaging tip and tail contact points to create a catch-free feel that’s incredibly forgiving, floaty, poppy, and fun on all terrain.
Enjoyed by team riders such as Mikey Rencz, Marko Grilc, Chris Sörman, Sani Alibabic, Dimitry Fesenko, and Jack Mitrani.


New Party Rocker
Inspired by the feel of skating, our NEW P-Rocker features Zero Camber between your feet with rockers outside each foot like a skateboard that lift the tip and tail completely off the snow. Super easy to slip and slide, this shape makes the board feel loose, soft, and effortless to press and butter. Hungry shred or seasoned pro, mini shred to mega jib, P-Rocker will fuel your park creativity.
Enjoyed by team riders such as Yale Cousino, Mark Sollars, and Sami Saarenpää.

10:45 Sidewalls
Extra-meaty 10:45 Sidewalls use two different angles to absorb the impacts that aggressive riders dish out.


Sintered N2O WFO Base
Taking dual temperature wax impregnation to scary-fast, chemistry-nerd levels, N2O WFO blends high and low temperature-reactive waxes with a super durable and absorbent high-density sintered material. The result is a super fast, low-maintenance base that stays Wide F!#@ing Open all season in any condition imaginable.


Sintered Base
Ultra-durable and highly porous, our sintered base’s superior wax absorption results in greater overall glide.

Lightspeed Vision base
Strength, speed, easy maintenance, and poppy graphics for a fast ride even without wax.



Super Fly II Core
Placing stronger and lighter wood in specific areas of the core provides snap, strength, and reduced weight for uncompromised board feel and response.

Pressure Distribution Edges
No fancy marketing campaign—just nine years of experience and another Burton breakthrough. The edges beneath the binding area extend out slightly for tremendous edge hold on hard, icy conditions, while remaining ever playful in soft snow. It’s there when you need it, yet can’t be noticed when you don’t.


The Park Scoop
This exaggerated spoon shape creates a more forgiving feel by turning the edges up at the tip and tail. We’ve taken the Scoop in two directions for 2010. The Park Scoop excels at jibbing, pressing, and buttering thanks to steeper, more aggressive scooping that extends slightly into the board’s running length. For a more versatile ride that adds looseness and float, the NEW Freestyle Scoop features mellower scooping that tapers off just before the contact points.

Pro-Tip
Another Burton first. Tapering the thickness of the tip and tail dramatically reduces swing weight and creates a more playful flex in the tip and tail.




Bindings

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.


30% Short-Glass/Nylon Composite Baseplates
A slightly higher amount of response and power without sacrificing mobility.


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.

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.



Boots

Speed Zone Lacing
Speed Zone™ lets you fine-tune your fit quicker and easier than any other lacing system out there. Customize the fit of the upper or lower zone in a matter of seconds—in the lift line, on the lift, or mid-run—without forcing your friends to wait. And because it’s so powerful, you’ll get more out of your boots—more rebound, more wrap, and better response—with less effort.


270º Airbag Cushioning
With more air comes more cushioning and less weight. NEW 270° Cushioning features a 50% larger airbag than 2009 and covers approximately 75% of the midsole for unstoppable impact protection.

Power Spine Backstays
We use a variety of single and dual-component Power Spine™ backstays throughout the line to fine-tune medial/lateral support, edge-to-edge response, and, most importantly, durability. For ultimate power, check out the NEW Dual-Axis Power Spine backstay on the Driver X™.

Low-Profile EST Optimized Midsole
Lower-profile, lighter weight, and with a reduced ramp in the heel, the EST™ Optimized midsole brings you closer to your bindings by lowering your center of gravity and improving brain-to-binding connectivity. Feel and control your setup like never before without sacrificing an ounce of cushioning thanks to ultra-dampening B3 Gel inserts.

New Infinite Liner Sole
An industry first, our NEW InfiniFIT Liner Sole incorporates EVA in amazing ways. By fusing a cushioned platform to the footprint of select Imprint™ liners, we are able to create a more consistent out-of-box fit that stays true by preventing pack-out. The more supportive platform also means improved rebound, comfort, and cushioning for the life of your liners.
