The right snowboard binding for your needs
The right binding depends on your riding style and the type of boot you choose. Soft bindings are ideal for the park and piste, while alpine bindings are designed for race carving and high speeds.
Here is a brief overview of the different bindings:
- All-mountain bindings: These have a medium flex and are versatile. As the name suggests, they are ideal for groomed slopes, the park and backcountry - pretty much any terrain.
- Freeride bindings: These bindings come with a hard flex for stability in the backcountry. They are perfect for untouched lines and steep slopes in open terrain. Freestyle bindings: A soft flex makes them forgiving and ideal for beginners, but they are basically designed for park riders. They also support you with cushioning for hard landings and tricks. Jib bindings: They offer a soft flex and flexible highback for more room to manoeuvre on rails and boxes.
- Splitboard bindings: These models are specially built for splitboards, with ascent and descent modes. They are ideal for touring in the backcountry.
- Alpin bindings: They are exclusively suitable for alpine boards. These bindings enable high speeds and precise carving turns. You can only use this type of binding with suitable hard boots.
Innovative technologies and entry systems
From classic straps to Burton's modern Step On® system, we offer bindings that guarantee comfort and quick entry and exit. Discover the latest binding systems and classics.
Toe- and Capstrap
This widely used system offers optimum support and stability thanks to two straps that hold the boots firmly in the binding. One strap is located at the ankles and the other at the toes. This system also offers the advantage that all parts can be replaced quickly if something breaks.
Quick entry
With this system, you adjust the binding once and then it only takes seconds to get on. You simply fold the highback back, place the boot in the binding and fold the highback up again. This system is ideal for children and beginners in particular.
Step On® from Burton
It could hardly be simpler or more comfortable. This system works in combination with boots and bindings. Step On® boots connect to the Step On® binding by light contact when you step in. After that, all you need to do is a quick check to make sure the boot is fixed in the binding and you're ready to go. A revolutionary system from Burton.
