Last time we checked snowboards couldn't read minds or anticipate turns, but Burton's redesigned Custom X might be the closest you can get to telepathy on an all-terrain freestyle board. The Custom X has always been at the top of Burton's "feel" ratings for responsive snap and performance, but this season they pushed the envelope by adding a new Lightening Bolt fiberglass that almost instantaneously transfers energy from your boots to the snowboard edges without hesitation or second-guessing. The Custom X is a lightweight, incredibly snappy snowboard that's all freestyle for all terrain. It offers a VaporSkin topsheet membrane that drops the weight and enhances the overall feel and feedback from the positive core profile. This experts-oriented design leans toward a freeride platform but certainly holds its own in the half pipe and above the other terrain park toys. Burton augmented this stellar snowboard with more fiberglass for a ruggedly superior strength-to-weight ratio and a fast Sintered N20 WFO base, Dragonfly core and Pressure Distribution Edges for breathtaking speed, faster turns and plenty of pop. Burton's Dragonfly wood core with Multizone EGD (Engineered Grain Direction) is consistently recognized as one of the best wood core designs ever developed for snowboards, giving you exceptional power and durability without loading the ride down with excess ounces. Whether you're serious about a solid, all-around quality ride or you're moving up to the big leagues and big screen, the Burton Custom X is an easy choice for all-mountain lifestyles.

Customer Reviews for the Custom X Burton Men's Snowboard

Best all mountain board
Ice, packed, or pow...it doesn't matter. I live in CO and this is the best board for any condition.

Responsive
I upgraded from a 5yr old Ride Yukon. The Custom X is much more responsive and easier to control. The EST bindings make it east to get perfectly dialed in while on the mountain. You can't go wrong with the board.

Scary Fast
I've been riding for about 6 years now and consider myself pretty good but this board will definitely take your riding to the next level. I took the custom X to Park City for some spring riding equiped with Burton EST CO2 bindings and rode it all over the mountain. It handled icy morning groomers (yes ice in Park City.. who'd a thought), afternoon slush, small kickers, double black bowls and riding switch with no problem. It's very responsive and if I pointed it straight down a steep blue/black there were a couple of times I was actually a little scared I was going so fast. The closing speed on skiers is almost dangerous. The top sheet does seem to scratch and knick a little easy but I still highly recommend this board.

Sweet Board
Ok, so I've been riding a big mountain board for 5 years, but wanted to make the change to the Custom X because I've been really getting into riding switch. Because I'm not used to riding on multiple boards, it took me a full day to not look like a dork. Once I was used to it, I was amazed at the control the Custom X had in the carve. This board does some serious vibration damping allowing for more contact from turn to turn. I was actually able to take it out into the pow, and it cut through it while floating on top with little effort. Bottom line, I am very impressed with my first impressions.

One Word: DOMINATION
This is the "One Board to Rule them All." The Burton Custom X is the sickest board on the mountain. I used to ride a Burton 7 and upgraded to a Custom X and what a difference it made. It's lighter, turns much more easily (even on crud) and is super responsive. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed if you buy this board.
