Sierra Says: A standard for high performance snowboards, the Custom X is one of the most aggressive decks in Burton's lineup. With a fairly stiff flex, wax-lusting sintered base, lightweight core, and carbon/fiberglass laminates, the Custom X is designed to be ridden hard. For 2010, the introduction of the new Lightning Bolts add more attitude to this classic by increasing the edge-to-edge re...

Sierra Says: Riding a T6 down a steep groomed run is like opening up a Ferrari on the Autobahn. This is easily Burton's fastest, most aggressive snowboard and will go toe to toe with the meanest boards on the market. The secret behind the madness lies primarily in the Alumafly Core, which entails an aluminum honeycomb technology to create a lightweight, yet crazy strong feel. The Triax Respon...

Sierra Says: The Deuce is a versatile snowboard with a simple design and friendly price tag. This board is great for anybody looking for something fairly mellow, yet willing and able to turn it up when necessary. Although this board has a friendly flex and moderate sidecut, features like a speedy sintered base and Super Fly core give you a taste of what lies ahead. We recommend the Deuce especiall...

Sierra Says: The Mayhem is a great all-mountain choice for intermediate riders. With a twin shape and directional flex, this board is a blast in the park and even better on groomed runs. Burton Says: Slow down. Just because the Mayhem is capable of supersonic speeds doesn't mean that you have to go that fast. And just cause the Grip and Rip edge tune cuts like a knife doesn't mean you ...
