Sierra Says: The Custom X is the best selling advanced all mountain snowboard since it has been out. There is good reason for it to be, it is a super smooth riding all terrain shredding big mountain machine. This season Burton has dropped the Baron ES from their line up and now making the Custom X in wides for the big footed fellas out there. If your looking for a super light weight, aggressive riding board to kill it anywhere there is snow, the Custom X is an excellent choice.

Burton Says: The peak-to-park weapon of choice for DCP, Frederik K., Marko Grilc, and Kazu, the Custom X, now also available in wide sizes, is the ultimate upgrade for those ready to ride at higher levels. Heli-accessed pillow lines, shit-your-pants Alaskan gnar, stadium kickers, or World Cup superpipes---dissect all elements with surgical precision, warp speed, and second-nature agility. With the X, next-level freestyle is yours for the slaying.

Graphics: awesome
Award Nominations: Best All Mountain, Best Freeride Board, Best Graphic
One of burtons best...
Terrain Use: Half Pipe, Jumps, Speed, Powder, Carving, Backcountry, Groomers, All Mountain
Pros: Durable, lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Stable at high speeds, Popular model, Strong edgehold, Stiff, Well known brand
Other Thoughts: My best friend owns this stick and I've spent more than a few afternoons on it (159) wide. This is EASILY one of burtons best decks.. Burtons top of the line decks are LIGHT YEARS ahead of the lower end models in performance. Stiff, responsive, fast, smooth , great edge hold,,,the list goes on and on.. Do you like to ride at Mach 3? Keep up with your skiing friends--then this is for you. Similar stiffness to my T6 but feels different because of the wood core...Not quite as fast edge to edge as my T, but will be MORE than enough for most riders. I've seen my friend hit boxes on this but rails??Probably not as it's stiffness might lead to your decapitation.

Burton Custom X 158
Pros: The Burton Custom X is a great board to take all over the mountain. It holds an edge extremely well and allows you to ride with confidence. It is stiff enough that it has little to no chatter for those high speed runs. Thank goodness for the pressure distribution edges that Burton has incorporated into this board, that will give it that extra bit of ooommph when carving hard. But it also has a reasonable amount of flex (but not a significant amount) to perform a few tricks in the bag.
Cons: Perhaps I have not been able to ollie off this board with perfection yet, but I did find the pop in the Custom X a bit lacking, and it requires a bit more effort to get that extra height off the ground.
Other Thoughts: I found my Custom X 158 great to take in the pow and tree runs. It was the perfect length so that I would not wash out in those hard carves in the pow and was not too long nor difficult to maneuver in the glades. This is definitely not a freestyle/park board so if you're looking for a super soft board, look elsewhere. While attempting butters may require a bit more effort, this board can still do it all. The price of the board may seem a bit steep, but with price comes quality design and a great board to add to your quiver. There's a reason why a lot of pros ride this board.
