The Burton P1.1 Snowboard Binding's unique two-piece baseplate adds a new level of flex to help you butter boxes like nothing else and really feel your board react in the powder. Add super-plush straps to the equation, and you have yourself one seriously comfortable binding. Burton includes a Canted Living Hinge highback directly attached to the outer rail for increased edge-to-edge response without sacrificing the soft feel. -
Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: Bindings with a feel unlike all others.
So, I got these post season so I cant really say how they ride yet. Ill review that in the future. For now Ill just say they seem well built. Pretty light. Love the little pouch, perfect size to hold a torque driver tool. Wish it was on both bindings though. Its only on the right. Also, it kinda sucks burton only puts padding on the 3 hole burton D pattern mounts. The 4 hole std pattern mounts are just plastic. Damn you Burton. Ima post some pics to illustrate. Anyway, im very excited to rock these next season.
Since 2004, I have been riding the 04 P1s and now the 08 P1s, and both have been solid performers. They have matched up well with my old burton rulers and now my 32 lashed. They might not be the stiffest binding out there, but I have never felt like I needed more support, and there is still enough flex to let you tweak grabs, etc.
One of my biggest gripes with bindings is when the ratchets slip (usually on cold, snowy days) and neither of my sets of P1s has even done that.
The straps are super comfortable, and the bindings are still very responsive even when the straps aren't really tightened down.
Definitely recommended.
Only potential issue, not really a biggie, is that the baseplate is only padded on the Burton 3 hole version, not the 4 hole version; so if you don't have a burton board and this is a big deal to you, might be something to consider.
the rest of the reviews on here are confusing me so I decided to write one. I have the 08 ones and it was my first year with high end burton bindings. have ridden the freestyles, drake leblanc, ride rx, and thenrome arsenals. this was my first "high end" binding and I was not disappointed at all. super comfy, toe cap never came off my toes, no pressure points on heel or toe strap, and very responsive!! good mix of all mountain stability, and freestyle flex. I ride pretty hard and they held up well all season. overall best binding I have ridden yet(duh)
