Burton Genesis EST Snowboard Bindings - Men'sby Burton

Product Info

The Burton Genesis has been the top choice of many Berg's employees since its inception. Though there are many reasons why, the main two are the Hammockstrap™ and most importantly the Kickback Hammock hi-back. This is where the magic happens with the Genesis. The Kickback suspension is designed to transfer energy into the highback efficiently and comfortably while also pushing on the back of your boot to eliminate any gaps or slack in your binding fit. This allows for the most amount of engagement between you and your binding so that every movement is translated to your board with the most amount of efficiency and the least amount of effort from you. This is all helped by the Hammockstrap™ that has one of if not the most amount of surface area of any binding strap on the market, keeping your boot locked into your binding. The larger amount of surface area also allows you to get all this performance without having to crank your strap down by distributing pressure evenly over a greater area of your boot. On top of these two key features you also get the AutoCANT FullBed padding underfoot for added comfort and natural stance, as well as the superior Double Take buckles. Burton EST® bindings mount only to boards featuring The Channel™ mounting system. The Genesis comes in a Re:Flex version for all other board mounting systems.
