Burton Genesis EST Snowboard Binding

Yes, these bindings are exclusively compatible with Burton Step On boots. You cannot use them with standard strap-in snowboard boots.

No, the EST mounting system is specifically designed for Burton snowboards that feature The Channel mounting system. They will not mount to standard 4x4 or 2x4 insert patterns.

The Step On system offers a very direct, responsive connection that feels more locked-in than traditional straps. While it provides excellent board control, it is best suited for riders who prioritize convenience and a streamlined, strapless setup.

These bindings are engineered for intermediate to expert riders. The responsive highback and stiffer composite baseplate are designed for more aggressive, all-mountain riding rather than the forgiving flex typically preferred by beginners.

The Kickback Hammock uses internal spring tension to cradle your boot, providing a suspension-like feel. This helps dampen chatter and vibration, resulting in a smoother ride and better energy transfer when you initiate turns.

Burton provides a lifetime warranty on the baseplates, while the straps and highbacks are covered under a 1-year warranty.
