Dalbello DS AX 120 Alpine Ski Boots

Automatic translation Original description available here

The fully customizable DS AX 120 GW with non-slip GripWalk soles and a Powercage has been developed for advanced skiers looking for a particularly high-performance overlap boot with a wider fit. An IF liner, MyFit technology, and a 3D grip structure round off the product features.

The DS AX 120 GW with a wider fit and Powercage technology has been developed for experienced skiers looking for a high-performance ski boot with excellent power transfer despite the wider design. The Powercage structure enables outstanding ski control and precise feedback. The DS AX 120 GW furthermore offers an even easier step-in and a fit that reduces fatigue. If necessary, the MyFit technology enables both the thermoformable Instant Fit liner and the shell to be adapted to the skier’s needs. The 3D grip structure along the sole not only provides good grip on the snow and more direct power transfer but also protects the boot. Equipped with the latest GripWalk technology and curved profiled soles, the DS AX 120 GW makes walking particularly easy and reduces the risk of slipping.

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.

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.

Cabrio design:
- 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. 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!

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.

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

Adjustable rear cuff spoiler:
- Modular rear boot cuff spoiler adapts the boot cuff to a variety of lower leg shapes. Spoiler Permits skiers to increase rear cuff height add rear support and change forward lean

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.

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.

If comp:
- 80% of this high performance fitting liner can be thermo formed in four minutes only. The special medium density of ultralon foam cushions the foot as great as it supports the power transmission.

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.
