Atomic RT FR 120

The Atomic Race Tech RT FR 120 is the ultimate all mountain boot with versatility to perform on all terrain, in all conditions. Uncompromising fit but a boot fitter’s dream as it can be totally customized. Essentially a race boot with flex in between a world cup and an all-mountain boot. Comes with Conform' able pre-formed footbed.

The new Team Sport Liner provides you a high performance experience everyday. The thin micro fibre outer material provides a precise foot wrap and shell connection. A 3D Custom moulded,thermal formable ankle zone allows a precise fit.

Other boots by Atomic in the shop are the Race Tec 130 Plug, M100, M80 WmnsBalanze 90 Wmns, and the Balanze 70 Wmns.

Garmont Shaman

The new Garmont Shaman has an incredible anatomical fit based on the custom-fit of their G 1 racing boots, with more volume for all-day freeriding. These boots are stiff (flex index 130), ideal for agressive skiers looking for high control and comfort.

Two Shaman soles are available, an ISO alpine sole, bi-injected for durability and easier walking, or a bi-injected, rocker-ed ski mountaineering sole. There is no walking mode, but this touring sole with its rocker will compensate this absence for booting up.

The Endorphin is Garmont's most advanced boot for freeriders, ski mountaineers and those who hike for their turns. As stiff and responsive as the best alpine boots, it can arc the biggest skis while staying as mobile as the best ski mountaineering boots.

The double-injected cuff hugs the leg for the quickest response. A height-adjustable spoiler maintains a close fit between the g-fit liner and the shell, distributing pressure where it meets the shell and resulting in optimum flex throughtout the flex range of the boot.

The Endorphin has a unique double-injected Broadband2 tongue with a smooth, firm, progressive forward flex, designed for two-ski-edging performance with big skis: it's higher and reinforced on the inside to instantly transmit pressure to your skis.

Like the Shaman, the Endorphin comes with two soles. Garmont's ski mountaineering sole has harder non-lugged areas that are crampon-compatible, self cleaning with rocker for easy climbing and hiking. The Garmont ISO alpine sole conforms to the ISO alpine norm and is compatible with all alpine bindings.

We are also carrying the women's specific freeride / touring boot ... the Xena.

Lange Freeride 110

For powder addicts and expert skiers, this model is derived from the WC 120 (all in white to reflect its chosen vocation).

The external sole offer walking grip and a shock absorption " Energy Bar " to avoid torsional forces. The shell inner sole absorbs shock and assures maximum foot-ski contact while the heel is lifted 10 mm. The Custom Pro liners offer comfort while maintaining performance even for aggressive skiers. The liner cuff in PVC reinforced resins offers abrasion resistance and avoids heat loss, while the tongue is Lycra lined . The special anatomic footbed guarantees support of the instep and holds the heel in place, to facilitate power transmission to the ski edges.

You kinda got to be on it if you want to ski the race Langes ... they reward good technique with awesome response. All you racer studs (and ex- racer studs) know what I'm talkin' about.

Oh, yeah! For you hard cores we also carry the Freeride 130,the World Cup 130, the World Cup 120 Team, and the Fluid series.

Tecnica Agent 100

Tecnica's Agent 100 is an excellent freeride boot that works well all over the mountain. Steal that powder in the morning and enjoy the pipe and park in the afternoon, the Agent 100 does it all.

With a comfortable 100 mm and performance 100 flex, the Agent 100 features the shock absorbing Zeppa footbed for those days when you just can't get enough air. With a rapid access cuff system thats makes cold morning starts a doddle, while the plaid buckles and liner keep you looking as good as you ski.

Check m' out ... we carry the Diablo Magma and the Diablo Pro.

 

 

bootfiting is our specialty

Footbeds, grinding and punching ... just some of the services we provide to make your ski experience better. Base repair, base grinding, edge tuning ... mbc is your shop! Fast turn around to get you back on your skis. We ride ... we understand!

The Sidas philosophy is to provide the maximum support to the user by remembering that every foot is unique. The footbeds are custom moulded to each users feet by taking an impression in silicon, then stabilised and fitted to the boot. This provides an even pressure distribution that will reduce pressure points and increase the sensations through the foot. All their footbeds are engineered to give support to the foot and also flexibility where it is needed, as without any elasticity there will be excess pressure put on the joints. Come in to our shop and see the system for yourselves, it will not take much to convince you to try a pair.
