Who it's for: Experienced riders who want a high-performance all-mountain or freeride board; not suited for beginners or those still progressing. Multiple hosts use it as a daily driver and freeride competition board.
What people are saying: Hosts consistently praise it as stiff, stable, fast, light, and nimble with solid edge hold. One notes it handles everything from groomers to park to powder, but flags it is not forgiving or progression-friendly.
Worth noting: Carbon stringers add response and pop; sintered base contributes to speed. The "X" designation means a stiffer flex than the standard Custom — a meaningful caveat for anyone expecting a more versatile, softer ride.

Spencer Imbach, Trail Runner & Snowboarder

I was lucky to be given a prototype of the Custom X and it's held a place in my quiver ever since. The Custom is arguably Burton's most iconic board that's been around for decades and suitable for any level rider or riding style. The "X" is an upgrade, with a stiffer flex and carbon stringers for added response and pop when you want it. This board will fly all over the mountain with its sintered base and it truly has no limits to what it can do with it's directional shape and twin flex. From cruising groomers, park laps, to the deep days in the trees this board can truly handle it all! Definitely best enjoyed by experienced riders- not the most forgiving or progression friendly style!
