New Styles, New Designs, New Technology. The 2005
Burton Bindings line has never been better!
Burlington, VT – The new 2005 Burton
binding line is superior in tech, fit, comfort and
performance to all bindings on the market. Just look around
at any contest and see how many pros ride Burton bindings,
regardless of who their sponsors are. You’re thinking it takes
a lot of balls to claim something like that. But we’re not
claiming - we’re just stating the facts. And here’s the proof
to back it up.
Burton has taken binding tech and aesthetics to uncharted
territory in 2005. Investing heavily in new materials, graphic
applications, construction techniques, and visual technologies,
the entire 2005 binding line features eye-catching styling
and dope details. Take one quick look at the new C60
hi-back or the lines on the new Cartel –
the bindings are definitely distinctive. But we know it takes
a lot more than shelf-appeal and bling to make a great binding,
so we added new technology throughout the 2005 line to enhance
your ride. Bindings from the Cartel and Lexa on up receive
a new gapless baseplate padding system for superior board
response, comfort and impact protection. We added the revolutionary
Capstrap™ from the C60 all the way down to the Mission price
point, giving riders the most comfortable, responsive fit
they’ve ever strapped into. All our straps now feature our
new pre-curved Triple Axis Strap technology that is ergonomically
shaped to conform perfectly to our Burton boots’ pre-curved
Triple Axis Tongues. And we’ve trickled down our Smooth Glide
buckle technology, introduced on last year’s C16, to all our
mid to high end bindings. The new Smooth Glide buckles feature
a buttery smooth release, improved ratchet tongue durability
and a Quick Release gate. And the best part is every binding
features new tech at a more affordable price point, bringing
more value to the entire line.
Because we put our money where our mouth is, starting with our 2005 line, Burton will offer a lifetime baseplate warranty.
When you’ve made the best bindings in the industry for decades, riders expect a lot from you. Burton’s 2005 binding line is sure to exceed expectations. Check out a few of the breakthrough bindings riders will enjoy in 2005.
Burton C60 Bindings
With a purebred, super minimalist style and all-terrain versatility, the C60 binding is the final word in lightweight, responsive performance for riders like Jussi, Keir and Jeremy Jones. The new, lightweight, carbon-fiber reinforced nylon baseplate and carbon composite hi-back delivers a stiff platform for instant reaction, explosive turns and uncompromising snow feel. We also equip the C60 with the understated style of the ergonomically designed Ultrastrap, which combines synthetic leather wrapped EVA padding with a soft, translucent spine for all season comfort and support without crippling pressure points. Our new Smooth Glide buckles combine strong, slick, polished stainless steel levers, durable polycarbonate ratchet teeth and a quick release gate for a buttery smooth release and a prolonged ratchet tongue life. The best money can buy, the C60 drops the hammer on all-terrain power. MSRP: $349.95.
Burton Fusion Binding
To the untrained eye, the Fusion appears to be a regular strap binding. With its lightweight, impact-resistant, polycarbonate baseplate, nylon hi-back with independent forward lean, ergonomically engineered Superstraps and new Smooth Glide buckles, the Fusion has all the makings of a pretty sick binding. But, we didn’t stop there. We took the performance, comfort and adjustability that is featured on all our strap bindings and made the task of entry and exit so easy, you’ll have to ride it to believe it. So how did we make this happen? Take a close look at the Fusion and you’ll see it’s equipped with a removable aluminum subframe that disengages from the baseplate with a quick release of a lever. When you exit the Fusion, the subframe and straps will stay on your boots. The subframe is also outfitted with some aggressive traction, making a quick park hike super easy and hassle-free. To re-engage, simply snap the subframe back into the baseplate and you’re ready to go. Or, if you’re feeling old school, you can get in and out of the Fusion the usual way – by loosening the straps. Next time you get stuck in a flat, you’ll be thanking us as you push by struggling kooks getting towed by skiers. MSRP: $349.95.
Burton Cartel El Habano
Smuggled via tunnel and offshore powerboat from a hidden lair deep within a jungle-infested tropical island, the Cartel El Habano runs a powerful freestyle design. Armed with a lightweight, medium-flexing, short-fiber glass reinforced nylon baseplate for stability and response, the El Habano knows no mercy when attacking vicious rails and hell-bent booters. We re-engineered the Team Skyback® by coring out all the unnecessary material to reduce its overall weight by 13%, while providing the same great durability and response. The new removable heel gasket prevents snow from sneaking in when you’re strapping in for a precise, comfy fit. And for those who only roll the tightest steez, we co-developed the straps to match the Sabbath boot for added dankness. MSRP: $249.95.
