Dalbello Chakra 85 Ski Boots - Women's 2018

Flex: 85: A medium-stiff flex for intermediate to advanced all-mountain skiers.

Kinetic Response Tongue: Highly resilient polyamide flex ribbed tongue stays in permanent contact with the leg for improved responsiveness and control. Interchangeable flex stiffness.

Flex Control: Boot forward flex characteristics may be adjusted to suit skier’s weight, skill level, and snow conditions.

IF Sport Liner: The IF Sport comes with medium density heat moldable Ultralon foam in the main fitting zones of the boot (40%) and provides the best fit - either out of the box or in 4 minutes of heating only.

Shell / Cuff / Tongue: PU (Polyurethane) / PU / PA (Polyamide)

Cabrio Design Architecture: Dalbello's 3 Piece Cabrio Design architecture has been the cornerstone of their performance, all mountain and freestyle models for more than a decade. This unique construction combines a 3 piece construction assembly - shell/cuff/tongue - that comfortably secures the foot and lower leg while optimizing smooth and progressive flex. Dalbello's Cabrio models provide the ultimate in responsive performance to ski your best. Cabrio Design permits the use of stiffer and more rigid plastics in the lower shell. This strengthens the support around the foot and lower leg providing quick response and precise transfer of power to the ski edges. This design also prevents the lower shell from distorting and bulging as the boot flexes, making the boot more smooth and stable at high speeds and on irregular terrain.

Co-Molded, Bi-Injection: Bi-Injection technology molecularly bonds 2 different density polymers into one structure; Softer plastic panels over the instep for easy flex and on/off functionality are surrounded by a hard plastic frame for steering and control.

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 movement of the skier’s legs because it has a longer range of forward and rearward hinging motion.

Adjustable Forward Lean: To change the forward lean angle, Forward Lean control wedges may be inserted between the lower shell and cuff. Wedges are secured to the rear shell with a 3 mm Hex Head Screw. No Insert = 11° / 4 mm Insert = 13° (stock) / 8 mm Insert = 15° (in box).

Twin Axis Canting: Permits skiers to align the lateral inclination of the upper cuff to the skier’s leg. Outside and inside hinge cuff alignment using 5mm hex tool, rotate the mechanism clockwise, or counterclockwise, to align boot cuff to desired position.

Dynalink Rearfoot Retention: Dynalink is an independently functioning heel/instep closure band assembly that secures the skier's foot in the middle and rearfoot sections of the ski boot. During boot flex, the Dynalink band does not permit the foot to slide forward or the heel to lift lifting inside the boot shell.

Micro-Adjustable Aluminum Buckles: A simple turn of a buckle! Micrometer buckles are easy to use for easy fit customization.

Inverted Forefoot Buckle: Forefoot closure buckle above the instep is inverted and designed to close on the top of a boot shell, not the side. The top closure positioning prevents buckle breakage and bending during rail slides, grinds, falls, and transitions.

Macro Rack Extension Feature: Permits skiers to adapt the boot’s closure circumference to all leg shapes and sizes.

Dura-Grip™: Replaceable, durable high-durometer polyurethane toes & heels for extended boot sole wear.
