Atomic Hawx Ultra 130 S GW Men's Ski Boots 2023

The upgraded Ultra 130 is 25% more stable and even more powerful than the previous version. It sits at the top of our advanced/expert selection with a True Flex shell of 130. True Flex PU is less affected by temperature and while traditional PU softens or stiffens as the mercury goes up or down altering the way the boot feels, True Flex stays consistent. This high-grade plastic also means an ultra-thin shell can be produced, increasing sensitivity with a noticeable weight saving but without any loss in performance or stability. The energy Backbone on the spine effectively transmits forces to drive skis, and the Power Shift on the rear of the cuff allows forward lean and flex to be adjusted for a personalised setup. A 98mm last and pre-formed ankle pockets provide all the foot hold good skiers want. The class-leading Mimic Platinum custom liner and Memory Fit shell deliver the best possible fit.Ability LevelOverviewFitSnug fit around the rear foot and medium over the instep, medium to narrow on the forefoot, round toe shape.Shell True Flex PU Memory Fit shell with PU Memory Fit cuff, mouldable. Updated for this season with stronger shell walls for even better power transfer and stability. The advanced heat fitting technology of Memory Fit creates a fully personalised shell and cuff in minutes. The key is Memolink, a special additive that improves the mouldability and stretch characteristics of the plastic. The boot shell is heated in an oven, then the skier's foot is placed inside the complete boot whilst it cools. With the foot's natural standing pressure, the forefoot of the boot can expand up to 3mm per side and the ankle area up to 5mm per side. True Flex is an exclusive Atomic shell material that means your flex and feel remains constant in a variety of temperatures. So, the boot you buy in store feels the same on the mountain, you don't lose horsepower in the spring and you don't have a boot that you can't flex in mid-winter.Liner3D Mimic Platinum 3M Thinsulate, mouldable. Atomic's unique Mimic liners use a layer of supportive thermoformable material in the heel, ankle and tongue areas. After being softened in an oven, this material mimics the precise shape of your foot, and hardens in that shape for a perfect custom fit. 3D means pre-shaped heel and ankles areas for better foot hold and comfort. Thinsulate is the world's best-known insulation and its use keeps feet warmer. In addition there is heat mouldable foam in the tongue, forefoot and ankle area that can be formed to the foot at the same time as the Mimic material.Key FeaturesProliteProlite is a way of building skis and boots that turns traditional thinking on its head. Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then it builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed.Power ShiftPower Shift allows the forward lean to be adjusted to 13o, 15o or 17o simply by moving the power control up and down. You can also alter the flex index by +/- 10 flex points by adding or removing a screw. Creates a completely personalised set-up.energy BackboneThe energy Backbone is a reinforced, asymmetric backbone that provides extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.ThinsulateThe more air a material traps in a given space the greater its insulating value. The microfibres in 3M Thinsulate insulation are far finer than any other fibres, which means they trap more insulating air in less space, even when wet. This keeps feet warm and responsive even in extremely cold and damp conditions.SpecificationCategory: AlpineFlex: 130Last Width: 98-102Custom Shell: YesCustom Liner: YesPower Strap: Quick Release Cam 50mmVolume: Medium-LowClips: 4 x 6000-Series Aluminium, MicroadjustableSole Unit: Grip Walk (ISO 9523)Pin Inserts: NoHike Mode: NoWeight (g): 1810 (1/2 pair size 26.0)Binding Compatibility: GripWalk, Multi Norm
