TECHNOLOGY:
Ride & Hike: Patented system that combines the Backbone release and the specific V-shape at the back of the lower shell. It allows the back of the collar to be opened wide in walking mode (Backbone unlocked) and to obtain a true alpine flex when descending (Backbone locked) as the back of the Backbone fits perfectly into the V-shaped lower shell.
4 Piece Construction: A 4-piece construction (base, cuff, and a 2-piece tongue) to make it easier putting the boot on. The flexible walking system follows the natural movement of the foot. The two-piece tongue can be changed, thereby having more or less hardness appropriate to the needs of the skier. The four parts are developed on a shell type considered ideal in terms of versatility and, in particular, compatible with lightweight, high performance skis. The difference is in the rigidity of the materials, liners, buckles, and accessories.
FLEX INDEX: The flex index of this range of shoes is modulated according to three factors: 1) The liner, 2) the possibility of changing the hardness of the two-piece tongue, 3) the hardness of the injected material in the collar (softer for women). The flex index is between 90 and 130 for men's shoes and between 80 and 110 for women's shoes.
FLEX INDEX:
Flex Index: indicates the boot's level of flexibility. The greater the flex, the more rigid and reactive the boot. On the contrary, a soft flex will be more tolerant and comfortable. The flex of your boot is chosen in relation to your skiing level as well as size.
Men's Flex Index:
- Flex less than 80: beginner to intermediate
- Flex from 80 to 110: intermediate to advanced
- Flex above 110: expert
Women's Flex Index:
- Flex less than 70: beginner to intermediate
- Flex from 70 to 100: intermediate to advanced
- Flex above 100: expert
Important: A flex that is too rigid for the average skier will impede progression. For a heavy and powerful skier, it is essential to increase the flex.
