About the Burton Genesis EST
The 2021 Burton Genesis EST snowboard bindings are awesome bindings that deliver power, performance and precision all combined within one of the most comfortable bindings around. The beast that is John Jackson rides nothing but the Genesis EST!
The Genesis uses a Dual Component EST baseplate featuring Burton's unique Hinge technology. The top spar is made from 18% short glass / nylon composite which is a high performance blend that ramps up the strength whilst retaining a softer flex pattern allowing you to tweak out grabs and ride with confidence. The lower section of the baseplate uses a 30% short glass / nylon composite which is lighter and more responsive than the 18% composite but is still playful enough to rock all over the mountain. The Hinge is a unique feature to Burton and allows the foot to roll more naturally to reduce fatigue, make ollies easier and increase comfort.
The highback is an 18% short glass / nylon composite to keep tat slightly softer flex and allowing you to ride the Genesis everywhere. It also uses Burton's Kickback Hammock which reduces unwanted vibration for a smoother ride and generates increased power transmission for a more responsive ride. The highback is set to zero lean too and can be changed using Burton's MicroFLAD tool free forward lean adjuster which can be done anywhere. In order to increase the comfort factor even further, Burton have canted the highback too. This contoured design follows the shape of your legs more naturally to maxmise comfort, prevent fatigue and even allow for easier energy loading for boosted ollies.
Comfort is carried on through the rest of the Genesis with Hammockstrap ankle straps and Supergrip Capstrap toe straps. The Hammockstrap uses a stitchless design which prevents pinch points and allows Burton to pre-shape the strap to match the contours of a boot. The Nylon spine built into it retains board response by giving a more direct connection. The Flex Slider is a thinned out section of the strap that hinges and allows the strap to move out of the way when you're getting into your bindings. The Supergrip Capstrap toe straps are also lightweight and softer with superior grip, boot wrap and comfort.
This binding is a super comfortable yet super responsive binding that we would recommend to anyone wanting to charge around the mountain like John Jackson any chance they get. Designed to ride on snowboards that feature The Channel/ICS mounting system, these bindings drastically enhance the board’s natural flex which is great for intermediate or advanced riders wanting a connection 4 times more durable than what standard inserts offer and infinite stance adjustment options.
