• Cabrio Design – A 3-piece construction to provide a more progressive flex and improved foot retention.
• ID Air Light Liner – A medium-density EVA foam wraps around the foot instantly and 80% can be fitted to the foot’s specific needs. Flexible zones, laces, and a focus on breathability make it a great touring liner.
• Kinetec Response Tongue – Improves the responsiveness and control of the boot’s behavior. The tongue can be easily interchanged between 3 different flex variables.
• Dynalink Heel Retention System – An independently functioning heel and instep closure buckle.
• Inverted Forefoot Buckle – The top closure positioning prevents buckle breakage and bending during rail slides, grinds, falls, and transitions.
• Binding Compatibility – A GripWalk sole comes as standard and is compatible with all ISO 9523 bindings. If swapped to Alpine Norm soles ISO 5355, they will work with Alpine bindings. However, it is not certified due to metal inserts, so it is not guaranteed to be safe and should be used at the skier’s own risk.
