Burton C60 EST
In the words of one of our testing monkeys, “these things are Richter, love ‘em.” Pro shreds like Frederik Kalbermatten and Peetu Piirionen agree, given the reactive nature of a carbonated baseplate and hi-back. That power is amplified by the NEW React ankle strap and NEW MegaBED Air, both cushioned just enough to take the thunder from the chunder while giving you more feel, drive, and control than ever before.

NEW Re:Flex technology on the CO2 gives you truer board flex and increased cushioning in a binding that’s compatible with any mounting system, including 4x4, 3D and the latest generation of The Channel. Removing baseplate material and replacing it with EVA and B3 Gel results in more board feel and cushioning, with 20% less weight.
