PTO Verdict
“Reworked, not replaced: a centered stance and updated core on the same PurePop Camber, Triax and sintered base.”
Best for: Riders who split the day between park laps, side hits and groomers and ride switch as often as regular; Burton's chart centers the stance at every length, with matching nose and tail widths. It also suits riders who want camber pop without a stiff deck.
Not for: The Process is the wrong board if you want a damp, locked-down ride at full speed in chopped snow, where the independent 26/27 review felt chatter. Powder-first riders should look elsewhere, because Burton's own Powder slider stops at 60% and a zero-setback twin gives no built-in float. Riders who want the most forgiving Process should look at the Process Flying V. And none of the five lengths on this page is a W.

Description
The Burton Process is a true-twin all-mountain freestyle snowboard on PurePop Camber, and for 26/27 it is a reworked board rather than a new graphic: Burton now charts the stance at 0 mm, where last season's chart set it back 12.5 mm. At $549.95, it is the board Burton says Mark McMorris rides when he wants one deck all day.
PurePop Camber is camber with subtle flat zones, which Burton credits with extra pop and playfulness. The core is the Super Fly II 700G in its SmoothRide version, and Burton's claim for the update is more pop and snap without extra stiffness; Burton does not publish a weight behind the "lighter" in its copy. Triax glass sits over and under the core, the base is sintered, and The Channel mount is, per Burton, compatible with all major bindings. Nose and tail widths match at every length and the flex pattern is symmetrical, so riding switch feels like riding regular.
Pick it for days that mix groomers with side hits and park laps, when you want camber spring without a stiff deck. Burton labels its personality Happy Medium and draws the bar toward the softer half, and its terrain sliders read Park 0–70%, All Mountain 0–100%, Powder 0–60%. It is the wrong board for flat-out speed through chopped snow, where an independent review of the new build reported chatter, and for deep powder days.
The Process Flying V keeps this size chart, core and price but swaps the bend for rocker-camber, which Burton rates softer. The Custom, at $679.95, is the directional, carbon-reinforced move toward speed and damping. The Blossom is the stiffer, park-first twin.
This listing covers the 143, 146, 149, 152 and 155, with waists from 235 to 251 mm. Burton's weight bands are 100-150 lb for the 143 and 146 and 120-180 lb for the three longer lengths, and it assigns each length a binding size rather than a boot size. The board comes without bindings. We help you pick a length in the shop. On boards bought here, we mount bindings and set stance.

The take
“Reworked, not replaced: a centered stance and updated core on the same PurePop Camber, Triax and sintered base.”
The 26/27 Burton Process is a reworked Process, and Burton's charts show more than the centered stance. Effective edge shrank from 1165 to 1158 mm at the 152 and from 1195 to 1185 mm at the 155, and the core line lost its Dualzone EGD label and gained a SmoothRide card. Independent previews add what burton.com leaves out: a rounder nose and tail, a sidecut tighter between the bindings and mellower toward the contact points, and damping material under the feet. Reviews of earlier Process boards therefore describe a setback board with a different core line.
Two details of the Process's published build are worth weighing before buying. Triax glass adds fibers at ±45°, so in our reading the Process should be torsionally firmer than a board built on Burton's Biax glass, which Burton itself calls torsionally soft. And Burton draws the Process's personality bar level with the Good Company's and short of the Custom's; since Burton defines that scale by flex, from softer to stiffer, the Process sits with the Good Company on stiffness rather than with the Custom.
On snow, an independent review of a 159 in the 26/27 Good Dog graphic found the pop easy to reach, easier than a Custom X, and the edge steady on groomers. The same reviewer, who calls Burton his favorite brand, felt chatter and wobble when red-lining steep faces and heavy crud, and says it lacks the damp feel of the heavier Custom. That review's spec list repeats the 25/26 page, so only its riding notes count here. A video reviewer who rode the 2023 and 2025 versions says he enjoyed the 2027 shape changes. The 159 is longer than anything on this page, so treat those notes as direction rather than calibration.
The Good Company is the board to weigh against the Process. At $449.95 against $549.95, it shares the Process's personality bar, Triax glass and sintered base, but trades PurePop for straight camber and the SmoothRide core for a Super Fly 800G with Dualzone EGD. Its sliders point the other way: Park 0–100%, All Mountain 0–70% and Powder 0–30%, against 0–70%, 0–100% and 0–60% on the Process. Park-first riders get the cheaper board; riders who want the whole mountain get the Process.
Burton's full Process run continues past this page's 155 through 157, 159 and 162, and adds W sizes from 152W to 165W. No flex number appears on Burton's page, so buyers are left comparing its charts, sliders and personality bars.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: The Channel, centered: Burton's reference stance width is 480mm at the 143, 505mm at the 146 and 530mm at the 149, 152 and 155. Our pick: Burton Freestyle Re:Flex.
- Burton Freestyle Re:FlexKeeping the Process feel
Burton's 26/27 page draws this binding's personality bar exactly where it draws the Process's. Our shop pairing, not a Burton one.
- Burton Cartel Re:FlexAdding response
Burton rates it Happy Medium with its bar drawn further toward stiff than the Process's, for riders who want the binding to add response. Our shop pairing.
Burton says The Channel is compatible with all major bindings, not just Burton. Both linked bindings are the 25/26 models; the personality bars above come from Burton's 26/27 pages. We set stance width and angles when we mount bindings on a board bought from us.
Common Questions
- What is the difference between the Burton Process and the Process Flying V?
- Burton's 26/27 pages give both the same size chart, Super Fly II 700G core, Triax glass, sintered base, terrain sliders and $549.95 price. The spec lines that differ are the bend and the personality bar: the Process runs PurePop Camber, while the Flying V has rocker between and outside the feet with camber under them, and Burton draws its bar softer.
- Is the 26/27 Burton Process different from the 25/26 Process?
- Yes. Burton's 25/26 chart set the stance back 12.5 mm at every size and the 26/27 chart centers it, while the core line went from Super Fly II 700G with Dualzone EGD to a Super Fly II 700G that Burton calls updated. At the 152 the effective edge went from 1165 to 1158 mm.
- What size Burton Process should I get?
- Burton rates the 143 and 146 for 100-150 lb and the 149, 152 and 155 for 120-180 lb. It pairs each length with a binding size (Kids/Small at 143, Men's S or Women's M at 146, Men's M or Women's L at 149, Men's L or Women's L at 152 and 155) and does not publish a boot-size range, so bring your boots and we will check the fit.
- Does the Burton Process come with bindings?
- No, it is sold as a bare board. Its Channel mount is, in Burton's words, compatible with all major bindings. If you buy the board from us, we mount your bindings and set your stance in the shop.
- Is the Burton Process good for beginners?
- Burton's 26/27 page does not list a riding level; its 25/26 page listed Intermediate. It is still a camber board, even with Burton's softer-leaning personality rating. We read it as intermediate and up, and the Process Flying V is the softer version.
