https://snowboardingprofiles.com/burton-genesis-est-bindings-reviewAssuming you're on a Channel board, it's a good choice with strong board feel that handles a wide range of board widths. The highback has give in both twist and lean-back, making it softer than the reference binding (Malavita Re:Flex), yet it feels a hair stiffer when you actually ride it — overall it doesn't exceed 6/10. It's best matched with Channel boards in the 5–7/10 flex range.
