Description
Burton Women's Step On Splitboard Bindings 2027 are strapless splitboard bindings for women's Step On boots, built on the Spark R&D Tesla T1 machined-aluminum baseplate that Burton also uses on the Hitchhiker. Burton rates them Stiff & Aggressive, the top of its three Personality tiers, gives no flex number, and makes them in S, M and L for US women's boot sizes 5 to 11.
The heel clip and toe hooks catch the cleats on a Step On boot: heel in until it clicks twice, then press the toes down. On the climb the binding snaps into the touring bracket, the Negative Lean Hi-Back tips back for a longer stride, and the hand-turned Step On Split Quick FLAD offers four lean settings plus a tour setting. Burton lists 1.65 kg for size M without saying whether that is one binding or the pair. The 2027 version keeps the 2026 style number, 239161, and Tech Specs.
It suits women in Step On boots who would rather skip straps at every transition, including splitboarders who already run Hitchhiker hardware. It is the wrong binding for anyone in hardboots or regular strap boots, and for anyone in men's Step On boots. Burton pairs Step On bindings with Step On boots only, and it warns that pairing men's and women's Step On products will result in malfunction, which it says could compromise your safety. Strap-boot riders want the Hitchhiker, and women with feet past the chart's US 11 have no size here.
Size it from your boot, not your weight. When you buy, we match the binding size to your Step On boot and check your pucks and hardware. We mount bindings on boards bought from us.

Burton Step On Splitboard
Step On family · 2026/27
Flex
Stiff & Aggressive
This is the brand’s own wording, not a number, and it does not compare across brands.
This is the strap-free touring binding for women's Step On boots, and Burton's paperwork on it is thorough about parts but leaves gaps, beginning with stiffness and weight. Burton places it in its Stiff & Aggressive tier but publishes no flex number. It also prints S/M/L weights of 1.60, 1.65 and 1.68 kg without saying whether each figure covers a single binding or a pair, so a gram comparison against another splitboard binding rests on an unknown basis.
One independent review of the men's Step On Split, last updated April 2025, mounted it on a Burton Family Tree splitboard with Burton Photon Step On boots, and the men's version carries the same baseplate, hi-back and lean adjuster. That review said the binding shaves time off transitions; its author, who has used a number of systems, hardboots included, rated it the most efficient of them and called it very responsive on the way down. The same review lists the costs: stepping in takes seconds only when there is a flat spot to stand on, the riser bars were hard to flip with a pole at first, getting easier as they broke in, the wide toe could make skinning on hard pack tricky, and the binding runs a little heavy among splitboard bindings. It names no model year.
Against the Burton Hitchhiker: the Hitchhiker uses the same Tesla T1 baseplate in the same Stiff & Aggressive tier but holds a regular snowboard boot with a Hammockstrap and a Supergrip Capstrap 2.0, and its chart covers women's boots too. Burton describes the mostly-aluminum Hitchhiker as very stiff and responsive, and calls the Step On Split, with its injection-molded body, heel cup and hi-back, more flexible and closer to conventional Burton snowboard bindings.
Against the men's Step On Splitboard Binding: same baseplate, hi-back and lean adjuster, sized on the men's chart, US men's 6-13. Burton keeps the two apart; in its words, combining them will result in malfunction and could compromise your safety.
Sizing runs on Burton's women's Step On chart and follows the boot, never rider weight: S covers US women's 5-6, M 6.5-8.5 and L 9-11, with no overlap and nothing above 11. Burton suggests a more flexible Step On boot to get full use of the negative lean tour setting.
What the paperwork cannot settle is the fit on your own board. Burton says the Tesla T1 base swaps onto existing Hitchhiker pucks with no changes, Burton splitboards with The Channel take Burton pucks only, and Burton lists no pucks in the box. Our technician checks your pucks and touring brackets against the board. For the repair kit, Burton recommends a spare Step On heel cleat with its hardware and assorted Voile straps alongside the two spare toe hooks it ships, and it reminds splitboarders that riding outside ski area boundaries carries inherent risks such as avalanches and extreme weather.
Technology
Step On connection
Toe hooks catch the toe cleats of a Step On boot and a heel clip locks its heel cleat. Burton's steps: heel in until two clicks, then press the toes down until both toe cleats lock.
Spark R&D Tesla T1 baseplate
The machined-aluminum splitboard baseplate Burton also uses on the Hitchhiker. Burton says it snaps into place to secure the binding to the split pucks or the touring bracket.
Step On Split Quick FLAD
Burton's hand-turned forward lean adjuster for this binding: four forward lean settings, plus a tour setting that gives the hi-back negative lean for climbing.
Negative Lean Hi-Back
A hi-back that Burton designed to lean back for the skin track stride and lock in place for riding.
Features
- ·Stance indicator tool for setting stance angle
- ·Two spare toe hooks included
Strengths
- +Toe hooks and a heel clip replace straps at every transition.
- +The Tesla T1 baseplate fits the Hitchhiker's pucks and touring brackets.
- +Forward lean turns by hand: four settings plus a tour setting.
- +Burton ships two spare toe hooks with each pair.

Best For
Splitboarders in, or buying, women's Step On boots in US women's sizes 5 to 11 who want strap-free transitions, including riders who already run Hitchhiker pucks and touring brackets.
Limitations
- −Only women's Step On boots work in this binding, per Burton.
- −A men's-version review found stepping in needs a flat spot.
- −The same review found the risers hard to flip with poles at first.
- −Burton prints its weights without saying per binding or per pair.
- −Burton's women's chart stops at US women's size 11.
Not For
Anyone not riding women's Step On boots: Burton says no other boot works in it, and it warns that mixing men's and women's Step On gear will result in malfunction and could compromise your safety. Riders touring in regular strap boots belong on the Hitchhiker, and riders in men's Step On boots on the men's Step On Splitboard Binding. Women's sizes above US 11, which the women's chart does not cover. Riders who often transition on steep, uneven ground, since one independent review of the men's version says stepping in is quick only on a flat spot. Riders who want to flip the heel risers with a pole from day one, because the same review found them hard to work that way before they broke in. And gram counters who need a confirmed per-binding weight, which Burton does not give.

Common Questions
- Burton Women's Step On Splitboard vs Hitchhiker: which should I get?
- The Burton Women's Step On Splitboard Binding and the Hitchhiker share the Spark Tesla T1 baseplate and Burton's Stiff & Aggressive tier. The Step On version takes women's Step On boots only, while the Hitchhiker's straps hold regular snowboard boots. Burton calls the mostly-aluminum Hitchhiker very stiff and the Step On Split more flexible.
- What size Burton Women's Step On Splitboard Binding should I get?
- Size the Burton Women's Step On Splitboard Binding from your women's Step On boot, not your weight. Burton's women's chart puts S at US women's 5-6, M at 6.5-8.5 and L at 9-11, with no overlap and no size above 11. We fit the binding to your boot size at purchase.
- Will the Burton Women's Step On Splitboard Binding fit my splitboard pucks?
- Burton says the Women's Step On Splitboard Binding uses the same pucks and touring brackets as the Hitchhiker, so a board set up for Hitchhikers needs no changes. Burton splitboards with The Channel need Burton pucks. Our technician checks your pucks, brackets and board; mounting is for boards bought from PTO.
- Does the Burton Women's Step On Splitboard Binding work with regular snowboard boots?
- No. Burton says the Women's Step On Splitboard Binding works only with Step On boots, and women's Step On boots must go in women's Step On bindings: Burton warns that mismatched pairs will result in malfunction and could compromise your safety. Riders touring in strap boots should look at the Burton Hitchhiker instead.
- Is the Burton Women's Step On Splitboard Binding good for beginners?
- Burton gives the Women's Step On Splitboard Binding no level rating and says the Step On Split design stays approachable to new splitboarders. PTO reads its Stiff & Aggressive tier as a binding for confident riders on the descent. One independent review of the men's version also found that stepping in goes quickly only on level snow.
- Burton Step On Splitboard women's vs men's: what is the difference?
- Burton's women's and men's Step On Splitboard Bindings use the same Tesla T1 baseplate, hi-back and lean adjuster in the Stiff & Aggressive tier. The women's version follows Burton's women's Step On chart, US women's 5-11; the men's follows the men's chart, US men's 6-13. Burton says men's and women's Step On gear must not be mixed.
