Snowboard Insert Patterns

Insert patterns can be

  • (1) a slider system,
  • (2) a proprietary system such as the Burton 3-hole pattern,
  • (3) a 4x2 pattern or
  • (4) a 4x4 pattern.

 

The slider system provides nearly unlimited stance options. The bindings are mounted to a track system and can be slid forward or backward to dial in the perfect stance width.

Burton uses its own 3-hole pattern. In the past, you had to use Burton bindings, but today many binding companies provide a disc that is compatible with the Burton insert pattern.

4x4 was the standard for several years with 4x2 becoming more common. They both use a 4-hole disc, but the 4x2 pattern offers more stance options because the inserts are closer together.
