Snowboards comparison — 2025-2026 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Burton Custom X leans more freeride. The Burton Custom X uses a directional twin shape while the Burton Process Flying V is twin. The Burton Custom X has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Process Flying V uses roc_cam_roc_cam_roc (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Burton Custom X is noticeably stiffer at 7/10 versus the Burton Process Flying V's 3/10, suiting more aggressive riding. The Burton Custom X targets expert riders while the Burton Process Flying V is aimed at advanced riders.

What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
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.
The softest, most forgiving Process. Used examples are easy to find and often mixed up with camber Process listings. Park rash and folded edges are the usual deal-breakers — a newer season is not automatically worth more.
