Flex:
Flex Rating: 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Custon Flex: Thanks to two separate flex zones at the ankle, this design provides complete control of the boot‘s flex and ensures your heel stays locked in place.
Fit:
Freeride Tongue: DEELUXE’s Freeride Tongue is a smooth operator. Especially plush, it maximizes comfort and cushioning while also enhancing durability. At home exploring the entire mountain, it loves to lay down turns that are especially smooth. And for a truly custom ride, the Freeride Tongue sports a three-position pocket that can accommodate an optional Flex Booster. This enables you to personalize the flex of your boot and tailor it to be either symmetrical or asymmetrical.
Liner:
Stage 4 Liner: With a precisely tailored anatomical design and a refined heel pocket, the liner hugs the contours of your foot while maximizing performance. An external heel harness further cradles your foot while providing exceptional heel hold, as well as quick and secure lacing. For additional comfort, the Stage 4 liner sports a roomier toebox with a four-way stretch material. The freshly-designed back panel further enhances the liner’s fit while optimizing support. And for an unsurpassed custom fit, the liner can be thermofitted—with or without toe caps.
Lacing System:
Traditional Lacing: Traditional lacing provides a classic look and feel.
BOA Tech: Micro-adjustable precision fit
with the BOA® Fit System, which delivers more
explosive action and unparalleled
accuracy.
Power Strap: This strap provides extra support for your shin
to enhance your boot’s
response.
Sole:
Vibram Eastridge Sole: No matter the adventure, you can depend on the Vibram Eastridge sole. With an emphasis on traction and durability, it excels whether you’re hiking, skinning, or riding. Its proven Vibram ICETREK rubber compound is specifically engineered to endure very low temperatures and provide superior grip on cold and icy surfaces. Special climbing zones in the toe and heel area offer additional traction to make ascents safer and easier. And thanks to lugs with a self-cleaning design, the sole readily sheds snow, dirt, and rocks.
Additional Features:
XLS: For enhanced comfort and longer strides when skinning, this system extends the range of motion available at the rear of the boot. Simply put, it helps you get up the mountain faster–and with less effort.
Double Back: This reinforced rubber highback
at the boot’s heel zone enhances durability by offering protection from binding abrasions. It also stiffens the boot
to boost response and adheres better
to a binding’s high-back. By improving
the interface between the boot and
binding, the Double Back reduces movement between them, offering greater
control and precision.
Back Bone: This reinforced panel
cradles the back of the
boot to maximize durability
and enhance response.
Rock Guard: This layer of rubber
wraps around the toe
box and sides of the boot,
maximizing durability by
providing protection from rocks and
ice
D-Tex: Waterproof and breathable, this membrane ensures feet stay warm and dry.
