Snowboarding Bindings

I’m looking to upgrade my board, but I am wondering if my K2 Cinch bindings, model maybe…2005-2006, will fit on a Burton board?

Sorry to say that everyone up to this point has been wrong… yes your K2 Cinch bindings will work with ANY Burton board.

All K2 bindings come with UNIVERSAL base plates.. you just turn it and can only use 3 screws. (so do most other bindings these days..)

And for those few Burton’s with a single channel.. you can still use those universal base plates.. Just turn it so the 2 lines cross the channel and use 2 screws. If your ride hard or are a bigger kid and worried if those two screws per binding will hold you then you can buy a burton base plate to throw in those K2 bindings and the problem is still solved.

From personal experience though that whole freedom channel (several companies have had it although Burton is the first to use just one channel) is not the greatest. On hard impacts your binding can still slip. Thats why I ditched my Capita Yetti from a few years ago. Great board otherwise but I hated those channels.

   as long as the burton board you are talking about doesn’t have the ICS channel, you will be fine. You may have to turn your binding plates a quarter turn to line up the holes in the stance you need, but that’s no worry

   if my flow bindings fit on my BURTON board, then your K2 bindings should fit on one…as long as it does not have an ICS channel
