Straps and Highbacks

Straps, you ask? Pay attention at the back. Aside from a few tweaks here and there, the entry system for the latest batch of Step On X bindings is much the same as it’s always been. The click-clack of a compatible boot finding its fittings remains insanely satisfying, and feels secure even on teeth-chattering crud. Which is just as well, as the X expects you to spin it up to the highest speeds.

Helping you do that is the highback, which is made from the same carbon/nylon blend as the baseplate. In a word, responsive. The anchor point for your boot is subtle yet effective, and the release lever sits anonymously just above the heelcup. It’s a sleek design that speaks to its no-nonsense purposes, something the simple black & white colour scheme compliments nicely.

“The whole thing is also backed by a lifetime warranty for additional peace of mind”

Roundup

If you’re still a Step On denier, then we’re not sure what more we can say to change your mind. After all, the Burton Step On bindings tick all the performance boxes you could want, and in its short lifespan the system has already proven itself to be effective and reliable. There are also plenty of great compatible boot options for the serious charger, with more being added all the time.

Still, we’re confident that for all the reasons above, plenty of seasoned riders will see the light. The X is here to stay, and we couldn’t be happier about that.
