Step On Cartel X EST Bindings—powerful response and smooth flex with effortless Step On entry
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve been riding the Step On Cartel X EST for the past season, and it’s the best mix of performance and simplicity I’ve tried. The SensoryBED cushioning is amazing for impact absorption, and the EST baseplate keeps the board feel super natural. If you want Step On speed without giving up that locked-in, aggressive ride, this is the setup."
We trust the Burton Step On Cartel X EST Snowboard Bindings to deliver pro-caliber performance with zero hassle. The Step On® system makes strapping in as easy as stepping on your board—no buckles, no straps, no wasted time. Whether we’re dropping technical lines or carving hardpack, this binding’s responsive design never misses a beat.
The EST baseplate maximizes underfoot flex and feel, while the SensoryBED cushioning system softens big landings and keeps fatigue to a minimum. The single-component hi-back with DialFLAD™ provides easy forward lean adjustments and a consistent, supportive feel. For riders who demand the control of the Cartel X with the convenience of Step On, this is the future of all-mountain riding.

Step On® FAQs
Discover everything you need to know about Step On and find answers to our most frequently asked questions.
"How do I get in?"
STEPPING ON –
It really is as easy as, "heel, toe, go". Step into the binding heel-first to engage the heel clip, then press down your toes until you hear the clicks.
"How do I get out?"
STEPPING OUT –
Getting out is even easier than getting in. Just pull the lever on the heel of the binding and twist your foot. Boom, you're out.
"Does it work in powder?"
POWDER –
Yes! Step On works great in powder. Just brush the snow out of your footbed before you step on (like you would with any binding).
"Do they work in park?"
PARK –
Tweak, press, big go, stomp hard–the best riders in the world have put it to the test. Now it's your turn.
"Are they good for beginners?"
BEGINNERS –
Step On is great for all levels of riding. Its ease of use and convenience both simplifies and streamlines the beginner's experience.
"Are they responsive?"
RESPONSE –
Some riders even say that Step Ons are more responsive than traditional bindings due to the heel-toe connections. They love to carve.
"Can I use it on any board?"
COMPATIBILITY –
Step On is compatible with all major mounting systems, which means you can use it with any board out there (not just Burton's).
"So, I don't have to sit down?"
SITTING DOWN –
That's right. Never sit down to strap in again. It's fast and easy, so you can get right to riding.
"What about ice build up?"
ICE & SNOW –
Step On has undergone countless hours of rider testing. Just scrape any ice from the footbed like you would with a traditional binding.
"Will I pop out of my bindings?"
SECURITY –
We've been doing testing and R&D on Step On since 2006. You're just as safe on Step Ons as you are in strap bindings.
