The carbon-blend highback reacts immediately, the chassis transfers energy with almost no delay, and the EST mounting system allows the board to flex naturally beneath your feet while maximizing board feel. The result is a setup that feels incredibly direct without ever becoming harsh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite being Burton's most performance-focused binding, the X EST isn't nearly as intimidating as many riders expect. It simply rewards good inputs. If you already ride with speed, trust your edges, and like driving through turns, the X EST feels incredibly natural.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThat said, this probably isn't the binding we'd bolt onto a soft park board.

Rather than feeling like the binding is sitting on top of the snowboard, everything works together as one system. It's a subtle difference until you ride it, and then it's hard to ignore.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf your goal is getting the absolute most performance out of a Burton board with The Channel, this is where we'd start.
