2021 Burton Snowboards Overview

Below is a quick overview of the 2021 Burton snowboards lineup.

First I will take a look at any new boards for the 2020-21 season, and any 2019-20 boards that won't be returning with a 2021 model.

Then I'll look at each board and put them into the categories where I see them best fitting.

New 2021 Burton Snowboards

The new boards for 2020-21 are:

Burton Kilroy Pow - New freestyle-esque freeride board. Replaces the Kilroy directional, but whilst there are some similarities, they are relatively different boards - not just a name change
Burton Family Tree Straight Chuter - New hard charging, stiff freeride board
Burton Family Tree Big Gulp - New powder dominant freeride board
Burton Family Tree Sensei - New narrow freeride board - so narrow I didn't end up testing it when I had the chance - it's just 252mm at the front insert (on the 156 that I measured - which has a 245mm waist). Great option for smaller footed riders looking for a freeride board.
Burton Family Tree Straight Pow Wrench - new powder specialist - short/wide
Burton Mystery Skeleton Key - The Mystery model for 2021 is based on the Skeleton Key (Burton do a different "Mystery" model every year. Which is usually a highly souped up version of one of their boards - and usually costs well over a thousand!

Summary

So there you have the 2021 Burton snowboards.

All of Burton's new boards are on the Freeride/Powder end of the spectrum. Nothing much happening with the rest of the line.

They did change up their bindings - bringing in a Cartel X and Lexa X into the lineup, but as far as boards go, it's a case of swapping out some of last year's freeride/powder boards and bringing in new ones - as well as having their new Mystery model which changes every year.

Note that they did change up their Family Tree line so that's non-binary - they have less family tree models, but with a larger range of sizes for each model.

I was able to test a good number of 2021 Burton boards and I'll release my reviews for those through the year. For all Snowboarding Profiles' Burton reviews, check out the link below.
