Burton Snowboard Bindings: Step on, Cartel, for Men and Women

Since 1977, when Jake Burton founded Burton in Burlington (USA), the brand has set a vision for snowboarding where board feel is just as important as style. This commitment is found in every Burton snowboard binding: a coherent blend of technology, finish, and feel, designed to support your riding from the park to wide open turns. In this selection, you'll find men's and women's snowboard bindings, including quick-entry options to create a complete Burton setup with our Burton snowboards.

Why choose Burton snowboard bindings

R:Flex, EST and Step On: the three Burton systems

Burton structures its range around three approaches:

• Re:Flex offers versatile mounting, with broad compatibility across many standards, so you keep the Burton feel from one board to another.
• EST, exclusive to Burton Channel boards, delivers direct board feel and a natural flex underfoot.
• Step On: strapless entry with a three-point clip system (one at the heel, two at the forefoot), for faster in and out of your bindings.

Lifetime baseplate warranty and comfort technologies

Day to day, Burton's identity is in the details: Hammockstrap 2.0 for comfortable support without pressure points, Zero Forward Lean Hi-Back for spoiler angle adjustment, and a lifetime baseplate warranty for long-term durability. The result is smoother riding, with clean contact between boots, binding, and board.

Cartel and Mission: versatile all mountain men's bindings

The Burton Cartel binding has become an all mountain best-seller, with medium flex and balanced performance. The Burton Mission, more accessible, features a fibreglass construction and excellent value for money, while keeping the Burton DNA. For the dedicated selection, the Burton Mission range is available in its different versions.

Lexa and Escapade: bindings designed for women riders

On the women's Burton snowboard binding side, Lexa focuses on precision and comfort with a Women's-Specific True Fit design. Escapade offers a more premium level, with PodBED Cushioning for smoother landings. Scribe completes the entry-level range, keeping you in the Burton world with easy handling.

Step On: strapless entry for more time on the snow

For those who want a more direct step-in, Burton Step On bindings bring the Burton spirit to a quick-entry version, including on some flagship models. The idea remains the same: secure hold, intuitive entry, and more time riding.

How to choose your Burton binding

Flex and riding style: freestyle, all mountain or freeride

In the Burton world, flex sets the tone. Softer flex suits freestyle, for a playful and forgiving ride. Medium flex is the heart of all mountain, for varied terrain. Stiffer flex supports aggressive riding and stability at higher speeds.

Board compatibility and sizing (Re:Flex vs EST vs Step On)

Your system choice starts with your board: Re:Flex for wide compatibility, EST for Burton Channel snowboards, Step On for a dedicated binding and boot setup. For boot size and binding fit, the Burton size guide helps you match boots and baseplate for centred stance and controlled overhang.
