Compare two models
How they compare
the Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top leans more powder, while the Burton Custom X Flying V leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature rocker profiles — lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel. The Burton Custom X Flying V is noticeably stiffer at 8/10 versus the Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top's 4/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
