Men’s Burton Step On® Genesis Re:Flex Snowboard Bindings

Who is it for? The Burton Step On® Genesis Re:Flex is a men’s snowboard binding for riders who want the convenience of Step On® in a more comfortable, smoother, and more refined version than the standard model. It is a good choice for all-mountain riders who spend full days on the mountain, value fast strapless entry, and want bindings with better vibration damping, medium flex, and a comfortable underfoot feel.

Step On® with Genesis comfort and suspension

The Step On® system lets you connect your boot to the binding without traditional straps. The design uses three connection points – two at the toe and one at the heel – to lock the boot securely in place and maintain direct board control. In the Genesis model, the key difference is the Kickback Hammock hi-back, which works like an added suspension system: it increases comfort, smooths out response, and helps reduce vibration while riding.

Re:Flex™ – natural board feel and broad compatibility

The Re:Flex™ mounting system helps improve natural board flex underfoot and gives a more direct snowboard feel. These bindings are compatible with current 4x4, 2x4, and Burton The Channel® mounting systems. That means you can use Step On® Genesis Re:Flex with most modern snowboards while keeping the convenience of fast entry and the more cushioned, comfortable feel of the Genesis series.

Frequently Asked Questions – Burton Step On® Genesis Re:Flex

Do Burton Step On® Genesis bindings work with regular snowboard boots?
No. Burton Step On® Genesis bindings work only with Step On® snowboard boots. You need compatible Burton Step On® boots or other boots clearly marked as compatible with the Step On® system. Compatible boots are available here: men’s Step On® snowboard boots.

What is the difference between Step On® Genesis and regular Step On® Re:Flex bindings?
Step On® Genesis has a smoother and more comfortable feel. The key difference is the Kickback Hammock hi-back, which improves vibration damping, increases comfort, and creates a more suspended, cushioned ride feel. Regular Step On® Re:Flex bindings are simpler and more direct, while Genesis is better for riders who want more comfort throughout the day.

Do Step On® Genesis bindings fit every snowboard?
The Re:Flex™ version is compatible with most current snowboard mounting systems, including 4x4, 2x4, and Burton The Channel®. If you have an older Burton board with the 3D mounting system, you need additional 3D Hinge Discs, which are not included with the bindings. You can find them here: BURTON 3D DISKS.

How do I choose the right Step On® Genesis binding size?
Step On® binding size must match your Step On® boot size. Correct sizing is especially important in the Step On® system because the boot connects directly to the binding’s engagement points. Check the size chart before purchase and choose the binding size that matches your exact boot size.

Is Step On® stable without traditional straps?
Yes. Step On® uses three connection points – two at the toe and one at the heel. This locks the boot securely into the binding and gives the rider board control without traditional straps.

Who is the Step On® Genesis system best for?
Step On® Genesis is best for riders who want fast strapless entry while also getting more comfort, smoother binding response, and better vibration damping than the standard Step On® model.
