The Official Burton Thread

I posted the available specs somewhere.. in some thread .. I think

[ad1105]

I have no idea on specs, sorry. I was hoping to ride the 163 but the 158 felt pretty great. I was riding with 9.5 Vans Verses and didn’t sketch out while carving at speed. It’s what I was hoping for in the Showstopper from a couple seasons back.

all good! appreciate you spreading the hype and sharing your POV

Cheers dude. That’s about as much as I could say with only five runs on it. I’ve asked our B rep if I can ride it in our local banked slalom in March. I’m sure there will be more thoughts about it as ‘26 gear demos keep rolling.

i didn’t hop on that one yesterday, but everyone who did raved about it.

Sounds like a fun one. Did you get a look at the smooth operator?

I have a question about the distance between the channels! Not sure about this since on the B website they only list the reference stance, but this doesn't necessarily means the channel is still at the same place (regarding different board lengths).

Yesterday I demoed the HTH160 and with large EST bindings stance options are somewhat limited when placing the binding more centered (to effective edge/running length/contact points) because the binding itself is pretty wide. I'm curious if the channels are in the same distance in the next length (165)? Running length ist +5cm so it's not the case that nose and tail are just longer. But reference stance remains the same. Just wondering in the channel also moves...

Ref placement on channel seems to move slightly towards the center on smaller ref stances, but maybe it's just changed over the years. Would think ref has the same nose/tail ratio at least.

You want to know if the min/max stance changes with the bigger board, and it's just the ref that stays the same?

I can answer this for you in the next day or two

I just checked on a HTH 160 vs a 165W (not the same years though, but i don't think there are any changes) and the channels are located the same amount apart form each other (approx 12 inches). Its the same for a 162 custom vs a 166W custom (only one year apart), if you place them side by side on the floor the channels and ref stances line up. I guess the way to think of it is the difference in lengths are at the ends of the boards not so much between the feet, if that makes sense.

Is 25/26 the 30y Custom, or is it 26/27?
