Burton Instigator 145 2023 Snowboard

The new Burton snowboard for quick learning successes

The Instigator is new to the Burton line-up and is the right choice for those who want to learn a lot on the snowboard quickly and have fun from day one on the snowboard. The Instigator provides a cant-free feel, is easy to clean and offers bite where you need it.  
 
Riding style
The Instigator is made for beginners and intermediate riders who are looking for a simple yet powerful snowboard for all conditions and fast learning.

Shape
The directional shape is the classic snowboard shape with a slightly longer nose compared to the tail to concentrate the pop at the back while still leaving enough float, flow and control for all terrain and conditions. 5 mm taper facilitates turns and offers the feel and focus of a directional board, but can also be ridden as a twin.

Profile
The PurePop Camber profile features subtle flat zones to increase pop and bring more lightness to the game

Flex
The Twin Flex is completely symmetrical from front to back, ensuring perfectly balanced performance whether you're riding regular or goofy.

Construction
The Super Fly 800 g core, made from two different types of wood, is full of pop and alternates hard and soft wood to reduce overall weight without compromising performance. Dualzone EGD technical wood fibre is positioned along the toe and heel edges in two continuous zones, perpendicular to the core, for more edge hold, better response and added strength. Biax fibreglass offers a jib-friendly, turn-elastic soft flex and forgiving feel that's great for beginners or the park. The extruded base is fast, strong and easy to clean.
The Channel® gives you ultimate control over your stance in a design that is compatible with all popular bindings (not just Burton). Burton trusts the system and offers a three-year guarantee on it.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
