Lupo AX 120

The Lupo AX 120 is the crossover ski boot for freeriding and touring. With a 100 mm last it offers slightly more foot space and therefore particularly impressive comfort. Its vast area of use ranges from the piste in ski resorts to deep powder in the backcountry, only accessible after a climb. The large, easy-to-use ski/hike buckle and removable tongue allow a 67° range of movement. The legendary freeride performance of the cabrio design comes through on descents and enables beautifully carved turns even on hard pistes. The lightweight IF AIR liner becomes thermoformable after just a few minutes to enable optimal adaptation to the foot. High-quality GripWalk soles with a Vibram® profile can be optionally fitted to make walking easier and reduce the risk of slipping.

FEATURES

• CABRIO CONSTRUCTION - Dalbello's unique Cabrio construction combines a boot shell/boot cuff assembly with an external Kinetic Response Tongue closure which enables a smoother and progressive power transmission same as great shock absorption.
• GRIPWALK - Walking in ski boots always was difficult and some times dangerous. GripWalk® is the revolutionary sole-binding innovation that provides much better walking comfort and improved grip. GripWalk® soles with rocker profile are completely covered with a high friction material for better grip on any surface. Integrated anti friction bars enable a very direct and effective power transmission to the binding.
  
• QUICK REMOVABLE TONGUE - Taken away easily with only one hand, the removed tongue offers endless forward lean movement while hiking and great skiing performance for downhilling due to it’s flex.
  
• CUFF MOVEMENT - Fore 40° / Back 27° orward and Backward lean for the boots.
  
• LOW CUFF HINGE POINT - High leverage cuff assembly with hinge points mounted approximately 10 cm lower than standard construction boot designs.
  The low hinging cuff permits the boot cuff to more easily follow the natural anatomic movement of the skier’s legs because it has a longer range of forward and rearward hinging motion. For more efficient walking and gliding. Increased power and control with less energy.
  
• KINETIC RESPONSE TONGUE - The highly resilient polyamide flex ribbed tongue is available in three different kind of flex-stiffness (stiff, medium and soft). All of them stay in permanent contact with the leg and improve the responsiveness
  and control of the boots behavior.
  
• GRIPWALK - Walking in ski boots always was difficult and some times dangerous. GripWalk® is the revolutionary sole-binding innovation that provides much better walking comfort and improved grip. GripWalk® soles with rocker profile are completely covered with a high friction material for better grip on any surface. Integrated anti friction bars enable a very direct and effective power transmission to the binding.
  
• DYNALINK HEEL RETENTION SYSTEM - The Dynalink heel retention is an independently functioning heel / instep closure assembly which minimizes foot sliding, heel lift and boot shell distortion during the flex effectively.
  
• HIKE & RIDE MECHANISM - As the burly cuff lock mechanism frees the upper cuff from the lower shell a long range of motion for functional hiking and climbing is guaranteed. Due to the unique Cabrio design it doesn't contain any compromises on the skiing performance.
  
• 3D GRIP TEXTURE - The irregular pattern of the 3D GRIP TEXTURE gives this extra grip when walking on groomed slopes or fresh snow and positively influences the balanced stiffness of the boot. The 3D GRIP TEXTURE adds material right at the spot where it is needed to stiffen the the lower shell for an improved power transmission from boot to ski. In addition, the structure avoids scratches and improves the overall durability.
• TF PERFORMANCE LINER - Trufit innerboots are 100% preformed and ready for try-on and skiing right out of the box! Ultralon foam is a pressure sensitive fit material that will automatically form to the foot over time and is supportive and resilient. TruFit liners can be heat molded in 10 minutes to personalize the heel and ankle pocket if desired. The Trufit Sport's liner has a reduced volume with a high performance fit.
  
• TOURING NORM WITH TECH INSERT (PIN) - All Lupo models may be used with ISO 9523 Alpine Touring Norm bindings due to their tech inserts. By changing the rockered soles to the interchangeable alpine soles the boots fit in all alpine bindings as well but are not certified ISO 5355.
  
• HYPERBAND WIDE PROFILE CUFF CLOSURE - Unique Dalbello design. Low friction, wide profile shin pad closure securely wraps the upper part of the boot cuf with a wide profile, high leverage cuff closure buckle assembly. Smooth flexing design is highly shock absorbing for maximum boot-top comfort with no “shin bang” or “shin bite”.
  
• INVERTED FOREFOOT BUCKLE - Forefoot closure buckle (above instep) are inverted to close on top of the bootshell, not on the side. The top closure positioning prevents buckle breakage and bending during rail slides, grinds, falls, and transitions.
