Burton’s goal with the Genesis was to build the most comfortable binding ever, with power that stands up to the rigours of their team riders. With a slightly softer flex, it combines anatomical elements that smooth and cushions the overall riding experience, while the latest breakthroughs in highback and strap design wrap and cradle your boots in complete suspension.
Highback
The two-piece Kickback Hammock is a suspension for your Highback. The dynamic between the pop in the board and the rubberised hammock brings more responsiveness and less vibration, while the heels remain supported in an optimal position. The ergonomic Canted Hi-Back follows the natural contours of your left and right legs to maximise control and comfort. Riders who prefer a more playful and relaxed feel will dig the Zero Forward Lean. As always, you can still choose to adjust them forward for a faster response when carving or climbing icy pipe walls. For mind-blowing micro-adjustability, the MicroFLAD® system offers twice the options of the traditional FLAD.
Baseplate
Re:Flex® offers more flex and board feel than traditional disc bindings. The minimised, core-free baseplate reduces weight and expands the cushioning potential. A Single-Component Baseplate construction creates a consistent response and feel for all-terrain-domination. The 30 % Short-Glass/Nylon Composite material is slightly more responsive, without giving up on playfulness.
The Re:Flex AutoCANT FullBED Cushioning System with B3 Gel automatically settles your boot into a natural position regardless of stance width or angles for improved comfort, reduced fatigue, and more direct board control.
Straps
The Hammockstrap® is the Burton team’s absolute favourite. Lightweight, comfortable and still flexible in low temperatures. The Supergrip Capstrap® 2.0 blends two materials into a single, technically advanced strap. A firmer material on the strap provides a supportive and lightweight framework, while the softer cover fabric wraps the boot more effectively for added comfort. The Flex Slider makes entry a breeze with a stretched articulation zone that allows the heel strap to flex and open completely. Be the first to ride with Burton’s Double Take buckle technology with Insta-Click. Spiral toothing ensures instant engagement, faster tightening and fewer total pulls to buckle up tight. The result is more power, speed and ease of use.
