Key Features

  • Flex Rating: 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) Medium-stiff flex for all-mountain performance.
  • EST Baseplate Construction Carbon fiber and dual composite nylon. Made for performance, durability and epic response. Lightweight cushioning under your feet in exchange for heavy materials typically used in baseplate construction result in an even flex, unmatched comfort and support. *Limited Lifetime Baseplate Warranty
  • Canted Living Hinge Hi-Back [All Other Colorways] Burton created a lightweight, minimal hardware hi-back that allows you to adjust your forward lean and rotation separately. In addition, the hi-back offers an ergonomic (canted) design. For you this means a seamless interface that contours to you and your snowboard boots, providing unmatched comfort and board control.
  • Asymmetrical Hammock Strap Simple, seamless 3D curved construction. The laterally supportive asymmetrical shape is reversible so you can choose between power or mobility. Made of ultra light padding that remains soft in cold temps, and a triple axis spine for response and flex.
  • Features re-ground materials to reduce waste.
  • 💪 Medium-stiff flex (6-7/10)
  • 🎯 Re:Flex baseplate
  • 😌 Premium comfort

Same exact thing happened to my Malavitas, same spot. I contacted customer service and mailed the broken set in. I had a new set of Genesis a week later, since the Malas are discontinued.
