Burton Cartel Re:Flex Snowboard Binding - 2010
Like an exotic dancer on steroids, the Burton Cartel Re:Flex Snowboarding Binding rocks awe-inspiring flexibility and brawny strength that can handle your hammer-down riding style. Here you'll find nothing but a lean and mean, a do-it-all binding with superior cushioning and Hi-Back support. Look to your left and look to your right; you're not imaging the legions of shop-rats and pros riding the Cartel, it's just that good.
- Re:Flex increases board flex and feel through a minimized baseplate that reduces weight and uses a hinged disc for increased responsiveness
- Tool-free adjustable Canted Living Hinge highbacks mirror your natural stance for better heelside power transfer
- FullBed baseplate padding and B3 Gel heel cushioning absorb impacts from flat landings or choppy snow
- Gettagrip Capstrap features sticky rubber to lock down your boot with less pressure
- Cushy Superstrap locks down your heels without cutting off circulation
Bottom Line: Bend the mountain to your will.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

Buy old Cartels, not the Re:flex

This review is conducted on the premise of the Re:Flex system. The pre Re:Flex Cartels are amazing bindings. I was expecting a step up from them. Instead I got a colossal failure. There are several major flaws to this binding. The first is what "tastercakes" described. The baseplate do not turn perpendicular to the edges like other 4x4 baseplates. You can only mount them to shift from heel to toe, they are not able to be turned 90 degrees and shifted from nose to tail...so stance options are minimal. Also, the flex pattern is very odd. The front of the binding is very stiff because there is a strip of metal running running in front of the hinged baseplate, completely compromising the whole theory behind the Re:Flex system. However, on the heelside of the baseplate there is no metal rod, so on a toeside turn the heel of the binding will actually lift upwards of an inch off the board, making it about as useful as riding without a heel strap on a normal binding. Also, the gap created when doing a toeside turn creates the perfect gap for powder to get caked in there. On almost every pow run I'll get to the bottom and feel like i'm wearing high heels snowboarding, then have to take the time to dig out all the snow. The bottom line is: Burton took a perfectly good binding and destroyed it when they created the Re:Flex system. My advice, go on craigslist or ebay and buy some old Cartels with the solid baseplate and heel cup.

I have last years SLX in size 11. With the shrinkage tech should I go with a medium? I feel like I can fit either and I would rather max out the medium that be on the small end of large.
thx

You are correct on that, I would try the medium, it is supposed to fit. And you would max it out. The binding is amazing. You will be stoked on this for sure.

The theory is sick, I did enjoy the flex and the looks were rad. I hated the lack of stance options so I sent them back and used Union contacts which to me are an awesome binding. Plus you dont have to rock Burton! I thought I would give the Cartels a try and wasn't impressed especially with what else is available for less. But I will say that the build was great, they arent a bad binding just not for me.

I guess I should clear up the stance issue I had. The discs dont have any lateral adjustment, I either had my stance too wide or too narrow, I am picky! I can see why the EST's bindings would be great.
So does the reflex give the binging more flex? I know it seems
So does the reflex give the binging more flex? I know it seems like a stupid question but I thought the Cartel was supposed to be a medium stiffness binding and was wondering to what effect this is supposed to have on it. I'm looking for a binding for all mountain type of riding with only occasional park runs. Would this be good for me or should I steer towards the regular Cartels?

The REflex allows the board to flex 70% more than any disk binding out there. This is a crazy difference of flex, the board feel and control are significantly increased. This means that the rider will have more fun riding. If you do have a Burton Channel board then yes the EST Cartel will flex even more.

Do you have a burton board with channel? Cartel EST's will allow your board to flex more than the RE:Flex. The RE:Flex will allow your board to flex more than the non EST Cartels (regular cartels). The bindings themselves do not have more or less flex...it is the design of the bindings that will allow your board to have more or less flex.
