Burton Custom Flying V vs Burton Custom X
Snowboards comparison — 2025-2026 season
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 Custom Flying V has a roc_cam_roc_cam_roc 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). The Burton Custom X is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Burton Custom Flying V targets advanced riders while the Burton Custom X is aimed at expert riders.

What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Burton Custom Flying V
The catch-free Custom. Used Flying Vs are common and often priced like a camber Custom — they are not the same ride. Confirm the listing is Flying V, not Custom or Custom X Flying V, and inspect the base for edge blowouts.
Burton Custom X
Burton’s stiffest Custom. Used X decks show up less often than regular Customs, so a clean base can command more — but do not pay Custom X money for a Custom X Flying V. Check for chatter cracks and blown edges from hard charging.
