Burton 50th 00'S Malavita X EST 2027 – Bindings

The Burton Malavita X EST has shaped modern freestyle snowboarding for years, and this 50th anniversary edition brings it back harder than ever. Built for all-mountain riding with a medium-stiff response, it suits intermediate to advanced riders who want reliable performance whether they're hitting park features or charging groomers.

Mounting exclusively via the EST® system through The Channel®, the Malavita X EST offers truly unlimited stance adjustability without the constraints of traditional bolt patterns. The dual-component baseplate uses a Hinge construction for natural flex and direct board feel, while SensoryBED™ cushioning handles underfoot comfort across long days. Smooth Glide™ buckles on both toe and ankle deliver consistent, durable closure. Available in sizes S, M, L.

Who it's for

This binding is made for riders who grew up watching the early 2000s era shape what snowboarding became — and who still want that aggressive, no-compromise energy underfoot. The medium-stiff flex (rated 5–8) gives enough pop and precision for technical riding without sacrificing the all-mountain playfulness the Malavita is known for. If you ride a Burton Channel board and want a binding that performs as boldly as it looks, this is it.
