What burton bindings should i get

Now Im curious though which boards you weighted which are lighter? Yeah I agree. Lots of factors can affect how heavy they feel to ride vs how heavy they actually are. They tend to be consistently lighter than most others.

But Never Summer is the only brand that I know of that show surface area stats for their boards. In comparison to your Vapor , which is around Yeah I guess a lot of the feel has to do with the shape oft the tips and how much they slimmed down the tips to reduce swingweight. Hmm thats interesting, since my DOA is nothing special on the scale nor is it in regards of feeling on the hill. I would still bet on the wooden design though if it gets though.

Anyhow with the new capitas for example, g for a , wow thats really light! Now I bet one can really feel that difference on the mountain. On a sidenote: I was always quite interested in where the boards from different brands are made, since there is a significant difference in built quality between them.

If you purchases your board during the season and it is the new current model then it has M6. Regardless of what year your EST bindings are, you should use the M5 hardware that came with the board. If you have Burton disc bindings non EST you can still use them, but you will need a retro disc to use with the M5 hardware that came with your board.

This will allow you to mount the bindings to the channel, but within the disc. Keep in mind that using any non EST binding defeats most of the purpose of the ICS system, but in some cases it still can be done. To do this you must contact the manufacturer of your bindings and ask if they have a compatible M5 disc. You will also have to use the M5 inserts that came with the board as well. Lastly, we have the newest option available, the M6 Channel. Burton updated their ICS system to include a wider channel which allows for standardized hardware.

If the brand of binding that you are interested in is not in the table above, or you are not sure if the particular model is compatible, it is best to contact the binding manufacturer directly.

They will know if their bindings are compatible or if they provide a disc accessory which makes their bindings compatible. Most should have one or the other but it pays to check.
