Burton Supermodel X

Today, talking about the Burton Supermodel. What we have is a super solid free-ride deck, coming in on the higher-end of the Burton’s line. It has a nice lightweight deck. This model is a little stiffer than what you’re similarly used to, but still have a forgiving flex there if you need it. It has a camber shape to it. It has that nice power and precision when you’re holding those high speeds. Also, another great feature of the Supermodel is its taper shape. So the nose is going to be 10 millimeters wider than the tail is. It makes it float through the powder a little bit more. And it’s a small enough difference that you are still able to ride it switched. So you don’t have to worry about feeling a little off on that side of things.
It also has Burton Infinite Channel System. So you can really fine tune that stance. And have it anywhere, anyway, shape, or form. However you want it. Basically down to the millimeter. Just kick it back if you want to. Or throw it in the middle, depending on where you’re going to be riding. What we’re going to have on this board is called the lightning bolts. It’s going have carbon fiber beams that run the entire length of the board. What that does, is stiffing it up. It makes it a little bit snappier, so that the board wants to return to its original shape as soon as possible. Stiffing up the rod makes it more lively, and responsive. Next, it’s going to have the infinite ride on there, so it’s already been broken down for you. You don’t have to worry about this board breaking in anymore than it already has. So the stiffness that it’s at now is about level 5 or 6, and is going to stay that way.
It has sintered WFO base; it’s going to be one of the higher-end bases for the Burton deck. Its super fast. It’s going to require a little more maintenance on the waxing side of things. But it holds a ton of wax. So you don’t have to worry about it. And it definitely goes and impresses you. It’s going to have the Super Fly II Core. They use mostly lightweight wooden materials that are still going to hold up its construction. Also, this Burton has a super solid top sheet overall. A solid deck for anyone who is looking for that nice free-ride technology, if you’re going boarding in the backcountry, or going to a little bit bigger mountain. But even if you are hanging out at some of the smaller parks or just on the groomers this board will work great.
