Product description — Cartel X Step On Goldfish Orange

Snowboard binding Cartel X Step On

The Burton Cartel X Step On is the perfect combination of a top-of-the-line binding and a boot entry system designed to save time on every run. The Cartel X has built its reputation on years of versatile riding and precise control; the Step On version adds one-step entry into the binding, with no straps to tighten. A combination designed for riders who want to perform without complicating their time on the snow.

What is the Burton Cartel X Step On binding designed for?

The Cartel X Step On is at home across the entire mountain: groomed runs, kickers, features, and varied snow conditions. The baseplate (the binding’s rigid sole) features a single-component construction that transfers your power directly to the board, with no loss of energy. The spoiler (the rear support that stabilizes your ankle) has a firm flex, providing a crisp response when you carve into a turn or pick up speed. The system is called Step On: you place your boot on the binding, it clicks into place, and you’re off. No straps, no crouching, no mittens in the snow.

Who is the Burton Cartel X Step On binding designed for?

The Cartel X Step On is designed for intermediate to advanced riders who want to improve their efficiency without sacrificing comfort throughout a full day on the mountain.

All-mountain riders who string together runs and want to minimize transition time
Versatile riders who do it all: groomed runs, park, backcountry
Riders with Step On boots, ready to take their skills to the next level

A top choice if you’re looking for a responsive and comfortable binding for an intense day of riding.

Avoid if you don’t have Step On-compatible boots; the system isn’t interchangeable with traditional boots.

Quick entry

Can you adjust the spoiler angle without tools?

Yes, the MicroFLAD system allows you to adjust the angle of the rear heel cup forward directly using a dial, without disassembly or tools. You can adjust your riding position in just a few seconds, even on the snow.

How does the Step On system actually work?

Front hooks (Toe Hooks) snap into place at the front of the boot while the rear locks automatically when you step into the binding: the connection between the boot and the binding is direct and secure. To step out, simply press the release bar.

Tips and advice

How to set your bindings ?

For an optimum comfort and a safe ride, it is essential to set your bindings correctly. To do so, you need to take off the screws of the basplate with a Phillips screwdriver (4 screws for most bindings, 3 on some Burton's boards, and 2 Burton's boards featuring the ICS system on EST Burton's bindings).

Also, on some bindings, the plate is hidden underneath the gas pedal. To unscrew the plate, you need to take off the gaspedal first. You can do that by unscrewing it, or if there's no visible srew (on some Burton's bindings for instance), you need to pull the gaspedal upward to unblock it.

1. The bindings stance

The first thing to start with is your stance. Right foot in the fronf if you are Goofy, left foot in the front if you are Regular.

2. The stance width

Once you're correctly oriented, you need to set the stance width, i.e. the length of the gap between your feet. This width will vary depending on your style or on your board. Often, you'll notice some marks on the inserts. They show the standard stance recommended for the board. If you don't know what's your stance, use these marks for your first settings. If after riding you don't feel comfortable this way, you can always change these settings for a wider or narrower stance.

3. The bindings angle

Eventually, you'll need to set the angle of your bindings, that means you'll set the way your feet are oriented on the board. To do so, turn the plate until you reach the correct angle (written in degrees). Don't do this settings with the plate screwed on, or you'll damage the cranks of the plate or the baseplate.

Angle marks are going 3 by 3 (one mark equals 3 degrees). The classic angles for a beginner or a recreational snowboarder would be +15° for the front foot (toes pointing forward) and 0° for the rear foot.

If you're more into freestyle, you can try the "duck stance", it provides more stability on landings. The duck stance (also called mirrored) is very comfortable, but may not feel very natural at first. Start with a slight angle for the back foot. For instance, +15° for the front, -3° or -6° for the back. This is usually used for freestyle, on twin-tip boards. It allows an easier switch riding. Angle up the binding until you find the perfect stance. Freestylers usually ride with a centered stance angled at +15° / -15° for a better switch or regular riding, easier spins and stabler landings.

If you are more like a carver or a freerider, the angle will be set for easier high speed turns. That means both feet will be oriented forward. Try every angle and see how it feels. We recommend that you don't go below +15° for the front foot. Try to ride for a few hours and adjust your angles according to your feel. Common forward angles are +18° / +6 °.
