Burton Cartographer vs Burton Custom X

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Burton Custom X leans more freestyle. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Burton Cartographer has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Burton Custom X uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). The Burton Cartographer targets advanced riders while the Burton Custom X is aimed at expert riders.
