There is more range of motion with the Burton Genesis Step On but less than the Genesis Re:Flex so it does feel different and limits your ability to lean over the nose and tail on a butter. It butters very easy though and it is pretty close to all EVA foam gas pedal Burton Genesis Re:Flex. For testing purposes I slid the gas pedal to size 9 to match my size 9 Burton boot but if I were to ride this every day I’d probably slide it to 9.5. Or you can just slide it forward ½ size and it feels better. I forgot to mention this but you feel like you are a little too far forward on the gas pedal as a result of the pressure from the plastic under the gas pedal but it’s something you can get used to. Under the gas pedal is plastic instead of EVA foam throughout but that is necessary to keep the boot from moving too far down away from the click mechanism’s on the side of each toe. The Burton Genesis Step On has a very easy flex underfoot. It increases your range of motion and puts less stress on your knees. Having the hammock and a soft high back brings back some of that traditional strap binding feel that I really appreciate. Especially when your boot is stuck to the high back. Especially since the high back rotation is quite limited. I love the soft high back flex of the Burton Genesis Step On. I then did a sampler on the same day to compare them to the Step On and also compare them to the Nidecker Supramatic and Clew bindings. I rode these several days on many different boards.

Burton Genesis Step On Snowboard Binding Review- How it rides and who it is for We do make money from the “Where To Buy” links, but this is our best attempt at an honest and objective review from an average riders’ perspective. The Burton Genesis Step On has many flaws but it is getting closer to the feel of a traditional binding and still retains that quick symmetrical response.Įthics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews. Almost none with Non-Channel compatible boards. Turn Offs/Swipe Left: Minimal Adjustabilty. More freedom of movement than other Step On bindings. Turn Ons/Swipe Right: Very quick and symmetrical responsive.
