Dalbello DS 100 Gripwalk Alpine Ski Boots

Automatic translation Original description available here

Performance meets comfort: the DS 100 GW with pre-mounted GripWalk soles has been developed for experienced skiers with solid skills who value easy and precise control, for pleasantly sporty days on the piste.

The DS 100 GW is suitable for experienced skiers with solid skills who want a ski boot that offers that bit more room for the feet without compromising on precision or performance. With a flex index of 100 and a 100 mm last, the pistes become more fun than ever, even when skiing for hours on end. Thanks to the exclusive design, which uses two different material hardnesses for the shell and Powercage, the DS 100 offers the ideal combination of performance and comfort. The flexible handling, power transfer, and easy step-in and step-out are noticeably better than with conventional ski boots. If necessary, the MyFit technology enables the liner and shell to be adapted to the foot. Thanks to the GripWalk soles being fitted as standard, the GW version offers far more comfort when walking as well as better grip on snow and ice.

Overlap design:
2 Piece Architecture
- For all those categories, in which a high level of power, precision and control is demanded, we built the boots with the traditional overlap construction. The architecture constists of two parts - lower shell and upper cuff - and transmits the power directly to the ski and binding. The defined flex and the traditional power-rebound enable precise control and work perfectly on groomed slopes.

My fit:
My new boot. Fits. Perfectly.
- The My Fit boot system enables an easy and quick customization both of the shell and the liner. Thanks to the pre-formed anatomical contours in the shell, each My Fit boot already comes with the best possible fit at the very first step in. Depending on the liner, the thermoforming lasts not longer than 8 minutes and the flex stays untouched to guarantee the best performance and comfort all day long!

- Best possible fit at first step in thanks to pre-formed anatomical contours in the shell
- 100% individual fitting of more than 60% of all Dalbello boots
- Untouched flex, repeatable customization possible
- Best performance guaranteed

Power cage:
- The POWERCAGE construction is Dalbello´s revolutionary outer reinforcement spine for better power transmission and improved performance.

Contour 4:
- Exclusive Dalbello construction technology that maps the anatomical contours of the foot. Exclusive Dalbello construction technology that maps the anatomical contours of the foot to create subtle “comfort zones” at 4 critical fit points: ankle, heel, 5th metatarsal, & navicular. Relief contours molded into the inside lower shell at these 4 points provide a close and accurate fit and minimize the need for shell modifications.

Gripwalk:
- The new sole-binding system for walking comfort and skiing performance, available in 90% of the Dalbello ski boots collection GripWalk contains a new co-polymer sole with rocker profile. The convex shape and ribbed tread of the rubber add a lot of walking comfort and provide a much better grip. GripWalk soles are the perfect tuning parts designed for 90% of the Dalbello boot collection and don´t require any height adjustment at GripWalk bindings.
ue 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. Furthermore the long range of flex and a dynamic rebound are characteristic of the Cabrio Construction. Besides the Kinetic Response Tongue, the Dynalink heel retention, the Hike/Ride mechanism and the Inverted Forefoot Buckles are matching perfectly together to make this construction the best versatile and flexible partner in all kind of terrain, especially the backcountry and the park!

If liner:
- Instant fit at the very first step in. In addition all IF liners are 40 - 80 % thermo formable. IF Liner means Instant Fit Liner and stands excactly for this - instant fit at the very first step in! In addition all IF liners are thermo formable in a certain area (40 - 80 %, depending on the model) in only 4 minutes of heating to reach precise and individual fitting with a great memory effect.


Features:

Gripwalk option:
- This boot is coming with the option to mount GripWalk soles as an aftermarket accessory. GripWalk soles provide better grip, great walking comfort and work perfectly with the GripWalk binding without any height adjustment (due to their Touring ISO Norm 9523).

Drive & control:
- The Drive & Control technology offers more volume in the toe box and a precise wrapping heel zone. While the comfortable toe-box volume offers better fit, better blood circulation and - as a result - warm feet and toes, the wrapping heel zone stands for more control, direct powertransmission and more sensitiveness.

More volume in the toe box for:
- Better fit
- Better blood circulation
- Warm feet and toe

Precise wrapping heel zone for:
- More control
- Direct power transmission
- More sensitiveness

Variable ramp angle:
Adjust the forward lean to your individual requirements.
- Increased forward lean
- Increased sportiness
- Easy & quick to align
- Comes with every boot

Adding the variable ramp angle Shim under the footboard changes the ramp angle from 3 to 4 degrees. This gives the skier the ability to find the optimum ramp angle for balance and performance.

Thermal insulated bootboard:
- The super light bootboard offers great power transmission to the ski while keeping the boot thermo insulated.

Canting shim:
- Customize the inclination with different canting plates. » Includes 2x 2° | 4x 1.5° | 6x 1° | 8x 0.5° angled plates » Mounted between shell and sole to adjust the canting right from the bottom of the boot » Available as aftermarket kit

Locked cuff:
- The locked cuff feature boosts rear support and minimizes rear cuff flex. Skiers find the boot is for more responsive, more powerful, and more precise.

Micro buckles:
- Permits skiers to precisely “fine tunes” buckle closure tension for a more exact fit. With micro adjustment, you can twist the buckle to make it longer or shorter.

If performance:
- The IF Performance stands for immediate fit at the first step in and still giving the opportunity to fit 60% of the liner within 4 minutes. Its medium densitiv ultralon foam ensures great performance and a comfortable fit.

Canting (shaft alignment)
- The pivot points allow proper flexion of the ankle, a smoother forward flex and a more natural stance. By adjusting the excentric canting screws, bootfitters/skiers can customize the best setup for every skier.

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.
