TECHNOLOGY: 

 

Energy Interlock: This rivet-free support/spoiler is integrated into the top of the shell at the back of the boot. It helps add power with the PowerFuse Spyne in order to maximise fore/aft flex efficiency and lateral stiffness for responsiveness on all terrains. This technology absorbs incredibly small shocks to relieve the joint and reduce fatigue.

 

PowerFuse Spyne: A rear co-injected Y-shaped support that adds strength and power to the Energy Interlock in order to maximise fore/aft flex efficiency and lateral stiffness for responsiveness on all terrains. It helps perfectly stabilise the foot and ankle joint.

 

FLEX INDEX:

 

Flex Index: The flex is the boot's flexibility index. 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 ski's flex.
