The Custom X is one of those boards that needs little introduction; regarded as one of the best snowboards you can strap your feet into, it is the board of choice for the world's best competition snowboarders. Spend a few minutes watching any top-level halfpipe competition, and you won't fail to notice just how many Custom X's you see. So If ever there was a snowboard that could carry the title, proven in competition, then the Custom X has to be that board. Now why should a board used by the world's best halfpipe riders be of any interest to you? Let's face it, most of us never go anywhere near a superpipe. It is simply because the attributes that make the Custom X probably the best halfpipe board you can get also make it a formidable all-terrain charger. Its powerful flex, lightning-fast response and versatile blunt-tipped cambered directional shape with twin flex combine with the hard-snow destroying frostbite edges to create a genuinely great snowboard that can nail any terrain you can put in front of it. As the most aggressive board in the Burton collection, this powerhouse of a snowboard is the perfect choice for serious riders who want a no-compromise board that will let you push your limits to the absolute maximum.
Rider Style: Advanced all-terrain riders.
Aimed squarely at experienced riders, the high-performance Custom X is perfect for anyone looking for the ultimate performance across all the different disciplines of the sport. In short, it's the ultimate all-terrain snowboard.
Shape Overview: Directional
The Custom X utilises a state of the art directional shape, to create a genuinely versatile board that is happy in any terrain. However, at heart, the Custom X is still a freestyle board. So to help it deliver a more balanced freestyle friendly ride, Burton gives it a more playful Twin Flex. Now to ensure the Custom provides rock-solid edge hold, it features the innovative Frost Bite edges. Frostbite Edges extend out slightly beneath your bindings for tremendous edge-hold on hard, icy conditions and are powerful when you need them and playful when you don't.
Profile: Camber
As the Custom X is all about high performance, anything other than a traditional camber would be pointless. Delivering a poppy ride, powerful turns and rock-solid stability, it's the camber that brings the Custom alive. Camber distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board for smooth, continuous edge control from tip to tail.
Construction
As one of the most advanced snowboards on the market, the Custom X is all about its construction, and heading this up is the FSC™ Certified Dragonfly™ 600G Core with Multizone EGD™ and Squeezebox. This state of the art profiled wood core uses end-grain woods in impact zones, allowing the designers to reduce weight by using lighter woods in the rest of the board without sacrificing strength. To fine-tune this even further, the wood grain is turned perpendicular to the rest of the core in four separate zones adjacent to edges. This increases power transfer direct to the sidecut, increasing edge control and speeding up response. Also, carbon fleece is integrated into the core, layered just outside the feet. This enables almost instant reaction in the tip and tail. When it comes to the structural layers, once again, the Custom X leads the way. These are formed from Burton's unique 45° Carbon Highlights glass. This high-performance Tri-Ax glass optimises each layer of the fibreglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine tune torsional flex to achieve the optimum riding characteristics. The Custom X, also adds carbon strands to the angled fibre layers to add life and reduce weight.
Base: Sintered WFO
The Custom X uses Burtons exclusive Sintered WFO Base to deliver a super-fast glide in all conditions. This unique base material Infuses a specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material. This results in an ultra-durable base that stays Wide Open all season in any condition.
