Powder Rocker – High and long rise in the tip and tail to maximize float in softer snow.

Tapered Tip/Tail – A design feature that shifts the contact points with the snow towards the midsole of the ski, reducing deflection in the tip and easing turn release in the tail.

Powder Tip – Designed to be more predictable in soft snow conditions, these tips are designed to strike the perfect balance of maximizing float while reducing tip deflection. These tips are designed with a gentle arc and transition into the sidecut of the ski.

Aspen – Lightweight with a resilient, damp, easy-to-ski nature.

Fir – Stiff, strong, dense wood for solid edge to edge performance.

Triaxial Braid – A K2-patented machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core for pronounced torsional strength, while retaining the lively flex patterns inherent in a wood ski.

TwinTech Sidewalls – A durable sidewall construction used on twin tip skis that makes the top sheet more to resistant to ski vs. ski impact damage.

Swap Base – K2 maximizes base material usage by alternating the contrasting die cut pieces - your base may be the reverse of what you see pictured.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Last: 98 mm – This performance fitting Cabrio Design Architecture last shape features precise tapering in rearfoot and achilles' zones with narrow forefoot volume. Dalbello’s most accurate and close fitting anatomic last shape features innovative Contour 4 fit technology.

Contour 4 Shell Fit – Contour 4 Technology is a revolutionary technological advance in performance ski boot fitting. The anatomical contours of the inside sidewalls of the boot-shell, as well as the innerboot lasts, are precisely “mapped” to the shape of the typical high performance skier’s foot. A little extra “space” is molded into the inside of the boot shell at 4 critical fit points: ankle, heel, 5th metatarsal, and navicular.

Flex: 130 – As stiff as a freeride boot gets; meant for expert skiers who know where they're going and intend on doing it quickly.

B and C Interchangeable Tongues – In addition to Dalbello's 'B' tongue with a flex of 130, the boot also comes with an interchangeable 'C' tongue, which is around 10-15 flex points softer.

TruFit Comp Liner – These liners are 100% pre-formed and ready for try-on and skiing right out of the box! Ulteva foam is a pressure sensitive material that will automatically form to the foot over time. It is similar to memory foam, only more supportive and resilient. TruFit liners can be heat molded to personalize the heel and ankle pocket if desired.

Cabrio Design Architecture – Dalbello’s critically acclaimed, 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 flexibility. 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.

Polyurethane Bi-Injected Cuff – Two different density materials fused into one structure to combine power (hard) with comfort and a convenient entry (soft).

Kinetic Response Tongue – Highly resilient polyamide (Nylon) tongue provides enhanced sensitivity. Improves responsiveness and control.

Shell/Cuff/Tongue – PU (Polyurethane) / Bi-Injected PU / PA (Polyamide)

Center Balanced "Rocker" Stance – Foot angle, cant angle, and cuff inclination engineered into the shell and cuff positions skiers in a balanced and centered stance for optimum dynamic performance.

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 3mm Hex Head Screw. Two different FL inserts: 4 mm insert = 11° (stock) 8 mm insert = 13° (in box)

Adjustable Twin Cuff Alignment – 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.

3 F16 Aluminum Micro-Adjustable Buckles (1 Inverted) – Forefoot closure buckle above the instep is inverted and designed to close on the top of the boot shell, not on the side. The top closure positioning prevents buckle breakage and bending during rail slides, grinds, falls, and transitions.

Velcro

Interchangeable Bootboards – In addition to a firm bootboard placed under the liner, this boot also comes with a softer, "anti-shock" bootboard for shock absorption in high-impact skiing.

Solid Lug Boot Sole – Sole construction for power energy transmission and unmatched sensitivity and ski feel.

AFD Gliding Plate – All Marker bindings (except the Jester Pro) are equipped with a moveable AFD (Anti Friction Device), allowing a precise release unhindered by dirt, snow, and ice buildup. The type of AFT is matched to the skier type, ensuring perfect functionality from racing to junior and even alpine touring.

Triple Pivot Elite Toe Piece – With a horizontally oriented spring, it provides the highest energy absorption to reduce the risk of early release. The secure purchase on the boot lug optimizes power transmission and allows for durable, high energy use. The performance to weight ratio of the Triple Pivot toe is truly unmatched in the industry.

Inter Pivot Heel – This industry-leading construction delivers superior holding power for all types of freeskiing. Its design focuses power in the direction of the boot sole, increasing elasticity. The overall design creates optimum power transmission.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
