Got a chance to get in these boots and they are definitely a step up from the original. If I still skied 75 mm this would be my boot of choice. Honestly a really solid boot for those that like to ski fast on big stiff planks.
The first thing that you notice is the complete redo of the liner. It works a million times better for warmth, fit, and BOA use than the original. The boa was repositioned and I believe less of a BOA line to coil now too. The cuff flex on this boot matches the bellows flex.
It's a definite good choice for those that want to push themselves and have a boot that'll back them up. I really dig the white buckles too.
I have 15 days on these boots this season and so far they live up to my expectations. Lots of power. Ability to drive MegaWatts at speed in soft snow and BD Havoc on the hard pack. You have to match power with power so I have been skiing on BD01 RidStiff and Axel #4 settings. I had them custom molded with my foot beds and the ski performance was solid. The only downside to these boots has been that they run cold. Tolerable if I loosen all the buckles while skinning. Plan to get the toes stretched to improve warmth and fit. Will report back if this makes them any warmer.
Second pair, wore out the first. Superb control, flex, and fit. But come on PURPLE, with WHITE buckles????
Seriously do you really pay someone to pick these combination of colors..... 7ha95fur
Very stiff. Very comfortable. If you ski low, even with the HH at #4, you will toe tip and lose your edge. Too bad, really nice boot. Going back to Scarpa!
