Needed some new bindings to go on a LIB TEC Orca that could take a lot of torque and hold up well. The Burton Cartels were recommended to me and they have been everything people said. They offer great control with the toe cup hugging the boot well and transmit rider feeling from the mountain really well, and with just enough damping to make it smooth and reliable without being mushy. My only concern is that on the ankle strap there is a potential week spot in the form of a crease that I could see not lasting for the long haul, but I only suspect it, its certainly not an issue now, and that strap is cheap and easy to replace, so no great issue. Thats why I gave it 4 stars and not 5.

It has been well, decades since I have purchased new hard gear. My boyfriend raved about the Burton Cartel Bindings. I did alot of research and liked everything I read about these bindings. The highbacks are super comfortable and though they offer amazing support I was never really conscious of them which for me, lends to that free feelin when I am riding. The foam insert padding on the bottom of the footbed added another element of comfort and loved how these bindings really allowed me to feel my board! Easy ratcheting straps for quick tightening and release. Front strap hugs around the toe bed which was new for me, but YES - MORE ability to really feel the board beneath my feet. I wear a women's size 7 boot and got the small and gthey are perfect. Get these - you ... MoreIt has been well, decades since I have purchased new hard gear.

Good bindings. They have a good stiffness to them, and can do it all. The straps are amazing. Probably the best part of the bindings. My complaints are due to the adjustability of the baseplate. Union has a more precise baseplate. I feel Burton wants you to go est so you’re stuck riding their boards. The est bindings are good because how adjustable they are, but not as responsive as the reflex. Kinda funny the est bindings were at one time more expensive then the reflex. Now you’re going to pay a lot more for the reflex. 40 bucks in my case. How hard is it to put the same metal track system the est has on the sides, on the baseplate to allow more toe to heel adjustments Burton? Mind blower I know. For this much money, you should put a little more into the ... MoreGood bindings. They have a good stiffness to them, and can do it all. The straps are amazing.

These are amazing bindings, I've had many generations of Cartel bindings. However for the extra money I would recommend upgrading to the Cartel X's. The heal cup, and a few other features make a huge difference.The only thing I don't like is the new flex plates extremely limit the options for stance configuration. I was forced to ride with a 1/2" smaller or larger stance then what I prefer, because the plate hole pattern is extremely limited with the flex feature.
Been riding Cartels since they took over the Triads, which I still ride on three of my other boards. I’m an all mtn rider (no park at all) mostly steeps, side country powder and fresh groomers getting over to the next stash. I prefer the Reflex baseplate with the Burton channel system, having the disc/fastener points under your feet gives them a stiffer feel. I currently have them mounted on my StunGun but have had them on my Landlord as well, they felt great on either deck. The stiffness is great for an all mtn board, highback height is perfect, good amount of adjustments, my only issue is that sometimes they come out in very limited colors (boring). If you’re new to boarding take the time to go through all of the adjustments, they will make a huge difference in ... MoreBeen riding Cartels since they took over the Triads, which I still ride on three of my other boards.

While I scored a killer deal with Evo on these Cartels in August, I haven't ridden them yet. This is my 3rd pair of Cartels, as they are rock solid and a great value. I put 40 days a year on them, and ride hard, and I easily get 3-5 seasons out of them, if not more.
Burton Cartels have been a great all round performer for our small fleet of powder boards in our family lodge in Hirafu Niseko. They are strong, resilient and everyone that uses them thinks they are the bomb.We just purchased 2 new sets to go on our new Libtech Orcas.
I have about 5 Board days on these bindings consisting of both sunny groomer days and deep powder. I think these bindings offer good board response but lack comfortability. These bindings seem to be popular but I can only compare these to Jones bindings that cost a little more. I find that the sole of the binding is hard and uncomfortable. Furthermore, after hours of riding they are much more tiring to use.Pros:- Provide good response from board- The straps over the boots are light and you don't feel them quite as much, they also conform to the boot shape when tightened.Cons:- Uncomfortable contact points with the entire bottom of boot- Much more tiring to use over hours of riding causing more muscle fatigue across lower extremities.- Have more difficulty ... MoreI have about 5 Board days on these bindings consisting of both sunny groomer days and deep powder.

I wanted to get som new bindings that would suit for park, groomers and freeride. From before I have Malavita and they are a bit too soft, so I wanted to try someones with more respons and stiffness. I wear EU 45 and got the size medium. The mediums go to EU 44,5 and when stretching out the plate they just fit. And the space on the sides of the boot are more narrow and gives better fit in general. I have experienced wide bindings and not a fan. My weight is 88kg so that's another why I went for stiffer bindings that could give more support when I ride.First try was at opening day in Hemsedal, Norway this season and it had been pumping down with snow. I ride +20 and 0, tilted highbacks and likes to align the highbacks to the snowboards edge line. Thats a thing I ... MoreI wanted to get som new bindings that would suit for park, groomers and freeride.

I ride +20 and 0, tilted highbacks and likes to align the highbacks to the snowboards edge line. Thats a thing I really like with this bindings are the all adjustments you can do. Also the huge toestraps that feels good without pressing too much. The whole day I went from fresh grooms, powder in open terrain and forest, and also jumps. Gotta say They where better then what I expected and they got me pumped. I have since only used this ones on my directional camber board, my powder fish board and twin board. The only negative thing seems to be the aluminium buckles seems already a little bit loose, but they still hold super tight.Highly recommended for those that are looking for a medium plus stiff binding with all-mountain focus. Riders over 80kg would have the most use for this since when you are going on in the park, quick turns in the pow or just carving on grooms, you will enjoy this ones. If you are a size EU 45, try medium size.
Rides a bit more responsive than the 2013 Cartel bindings these are replacing. Lighter weight, too. Tradeoff may be that they feel a little less sturdy. Footbed foam is bulging up strangely, too.My box did not include the 4x4 bolts & washers that I assumed would be in the box (REI Q&A for this product says 'mounting hardware included.') I'll stop by the store to ask about that!
