Description détaillée du produit — Malavita Warm Gray

Snowboard binding Malavita

The Burton Malavita is the go-to binding in Burton’s freestyle lineup: a high-end model designed for riders who know exactly what they want underfoot and won’t compromise on comfort. It has built a solid reputation on the slopes and in snow parks, season after season, to the point of being adopted by pros before hitting the shops.

What’s the deal with the Burton Malavita binding?

The Malavita is a freestyle-oriented, versatile binding: it’s in its element on snowpark features (rails, kickers, boxes), but it handles the rest of the mountain with ease when the day calls for it. The flex of the entire setup (baseplate, spoiler, and straps) is firm and responsive: it transmits your pressure instantly and provides precise control, whether you’re landing a trick or carving a turn. The boot entry system is classic, with two straps and buckles: you adjust the fit every time you step in, tightening by hand without tools. The interface with the board is based on the Re:Flex™ construction, Burton’s system that allows the baseplate to flex naturally with the board rather than dampening its vibrations.

Who is the Burton Malavita binding designed for?

The Malavita is designed for intermediate to expert riders who are looking for total connection between their feet and their board, without compromising on durability or comfort at the end of the day.

The advanced freestyler who tackles the park with precision and wants power transfer without energy loss
The all-around rider who switches between the park and the groomed runs and needs a binding that performs well in both settings
Riders who spend long days on the board and don’t want to feel their feet by late afternoon

A top choice if you’re looking for a responsive, durable, and comfortable binding for intensive freestyle riding.

Avoid this if you’re a beginner or looking for a flexible, forgiving binding to learn the basics.

Do the Malavita’s straps really hold the boot securely, even during aggressive tricks?

Yes. The ankle strap uses an asymmetrical Asym Hammockstrap™ design that conforms to the shape of your foot to wrap around the boot without creating pressure points. Combined with the Heel Hammock, which locks your heel into the baseplate, you stay firmly secured even during hard landings.

How does the Double Take Buckles Featuring Insta-Click system work?

These buckles (the clips that fasten your straps) snap shut with a single, quick motion, without having to fumble with your fingers while wearing gloves. It’s a real time-saver at the base of the lift or when it’s cold.

Does the Malavita feature cushioning under the baseplate?

Yes. The baseplate incorporates two distinct systems: localized B3 gel and the Re:Flex FullBED Cushioning System, which covers the entire contact surface. In practice, vibrations from hard snow and landings from jumps are absorbed before they reach your ankles, which is why the binding remains comfortable during long, intense sessions.

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 °.
