Compare two models
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the Burton Cartographer leans more freeride. The Burton Cartographer uses a directional twin shape while the Burton Instigator PurePop Camber is directional. 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 Instigator PurePop Camber uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Burton Cartographer is noticeably stiffer at 7/10 versus the Burton Instigator PurePop Camber's 3/10, suiting more aggressive riding. The Burton Cartographer targets advanced riders while the Burton Instigator PurePop Camber is aimed at intermediate riders.
