Burton Genesis EST Snowboard Binding - 2012

Burton has started the dawn of a new era for bindings with the Genesis EST Snowboard Binding. The zero-lean highback offers a playful, loose feel, and it features the new Kickback Hammock design which fully suspends your heel for increased response and reduced vibration. The Genesis also features the Park Blend  baseplate for optimal flex, a removable ShredBed 3.0 footbed to cushion the landing on bomb-drops, and is optimized for unmatched board feel and adjustability on Burton Channel boards.

  • Zero-Lean Kickback Hammock highback cradles your heel and increases response, and MicroFLAD tool-free lean adjuster lets you crank up the forward lean when you need more powerful heelside turns
  • Park Blend short-glass/nylon composite baseplate is made with recycled materials and offers strength in a soft-flexing package, and the Hinge system flexes with your foot to reduce fatigue
  • EST-optimized baseplate eliminates the rigid binding tray under your feet for improved board feel and a more natural flex, and offers infinite adjustability
  • Ultra-light EVA Shredbed 3.0 cushioning system takes the sting out of hard landings without adding bulk
  • React Strap ankle straps and Gettagrip Capstraps lock your feet down without creating painful pressure points
  • Smooth Glide buckles click in and out effortlessly
  • Compatible with Burton Channel boards ONLY

Bottom Line: And on the eighth day he created the ultimate freestyle binding.

Most comfortable binding on the market

The new Kickback Hammock cradles your heel in complete suspension, heightening response while reducing vibration. EST gives unlimited stance options and true board flex and the Hinge flexes dynamically with your leg for increased foot roll and more powerful ollies. Next level technology.

Genesis is amazing

These bindings ride AMAZING.
Incredibly light and responsive without being overbearing.
The hiback is really responsive, but you don't even feel it at all. Your boot cradles in there perfectly and when you go to turn, it's just there and responds instantly.

Can't say enough good about the Genesis.
