JWP, Cartel’s are more aggressive than the 390’s which are a softer flex. Cartels are stiffer, more responsive. Depends on your personal preferences.

i’ve been thinking about purchasing either the the burton cartels (non EST) or the rome 390’s or 390 Boss’ to go with my my YES GDOH board in 149. They seem pretty similar to me but i noticed that you reviewed both models and was wondering if you had any preferrences. any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Yea, the new Cartels have the old P1 highbacks. IMO a very good move…the old skybacks were just ridiculous….I had them…sold them.

Just wondering if there is anyway to get rid of the Burton “gas pedal” on these? I’m looking for a really responsive binder for my Jones Hovercraft and I’m not digging a lot of option out there. I like what I hear on the Cartels but the gas pedal drives me nuts…

I love the Cartels ESTs. As for the highback and forward lean… just buy the Burton Lowbacks -$40 and swap them out. They eliminate the standard Burton forward lean so it’s at 0*, and they are only like 1/3 shorter than the highbacks. They are great on the Cartels.

Last Cartels I had the forward lean ripped out on the highback and Burton wouldn’t do anything. Thus the reason why I only ride Unions now.

I hear they’ve somewhat shortened that “Team Skyback II” that used to be like the tallest highback in the business – any truth to that? I love my Cartels but certainly understand why a lot of people were off-put by those highbacks and the insane amount of forward lean. I’m thinking that a slightly shorter highback might make them have a tad softer/more forgiving feel.
