Dalbello Lupo Factory Touring Ski Boots

The Lupo Factory combines category-leading climbing capability with the ultimate freeskiing performance on the ride down. Utilizing the popular Krypton architecture, this boot comes with tech inserts, a full carbon cuff, and a removeable Kinetic Response Tongue that goes on and off in an instant. With the tongue removed and the boot in hike mode, the skier enjoys a full 67 degree range of motion for a long stride while climbing. Thanks to the carbon cuff and the Grillamid Green material in the lower shell, the weight is just 1625 grams per boot with the tongue removed. Unlike the many traditional overlap boots in its category, the Lupo´s Cabrio 3 Piece design does not require any modification of the lower shell to enable a hike mode, so the skier enjoys legendary freeride performance with the boot returned to ski mode for the descent. The ID Max Hike liner is thermo-moldable for the ultimate custom fit, and like all ID liners offers light weight and optimal warmth. Now available: GripWalk® soles with Vibram®!

Cabrio Design:
- This unique construction combines a 3 piece construction assembly. The Cabrio design is a 3 piece construction - 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.

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.

Quick Removable Tongue:
- Taken away easily with only one hand, the removed tongue offers endless forward lean movement while hiking and great skiing performance for downhilling due to it’s flex.

Range of motion of the cuff:
- Forward and Backward lean for the boots. LUPO FACTORY, LUPO 130 C, LUPO AX 125 C, LUPO AX 120: 67° (40° Forward Lean, 27° Backward Lean) LUPO AX 115, LUPO AX 110 W: 48° (35° Forward Lean, 13° Backward Lean) As it’s function of a touring boot, the forward lean while hiking is the most important to walk with.

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 anatomic movement of the skier’s legs because it has a longer range of forward and rearward hinging motion. For more efficient walking and gliding. Increased power and control with less energy.

Touring norm with tech insert:
- All Lupo models may be used with ISO 9523 Alpine Touring Norm bindings due to their tech inserts. By changing the rockered soles to the interchangeable alpine soles the boots fit in all alpine bindings as well but are not certified ISO 5355.

Technology:

Hyperband wide profile cuff closure:
- UNIQUE DALBELLO DESIGN. Low friction, wide profile shin pad closure securely wraps the upper part of the boot cuf with a wide profile, high leverage cuff closure buckle assembly. Smooth flexing design is highly shock absorbing for maximum boot-top comfort with NO “SHIN-BANG” or, NO “SHIN-BITE”

Carbon Cuff:
- Hand made High Tech full carbon carbon cuff to achieve lightweight –power transmission and the best lateral control edge to edge.

kinetic response tongue:
- The highly resilient polyamide flex ribbed tongue is available in three different kind of flex-stiffness (stiff, medium and soft). All of them stay in permanent contact with the leg and improve the responsiveness and control of the boots behavior. The tongue can be easily interchanged inbetween the following stiffness-variables:
- STIFF - Flex index - 120/130 : Strong flex and very quick smooth elastic rebound for high / Pro level skier
- MEDIUM - Flex index - 100/120: Medium flex with gentle elastic smooth rebound for medium to strong skier
- SOFT - Flex index - 85/100: Soft flex with forgiven smooth elastic rebound made specific for woman / light skier

Ski & hike mechanism:
- As the burly cuff lock mechanism frees the upper cuff from the lower shell a long range of motion for functional hiking and climbing is guaranteed. Due to the unique Cabrio design it doesn´t contain any compromises on the skiing performance.

Twin Axis Canting:
- To align lateral inclination of cuff to skier’s lower leg.

Aluminium Buckles:
- All collection has strong and lightweight alu buckles, ergonimically designed for easy use.

Inverted forefoot buckle:
- Forefoot closure buckle (above instep) are inverted to close on top of the bootshell, not on the side. The top closure positioning prevents buckle breakage and bending during rail slides, grinds, falls, and transitions.

Micro buckles:
- Permits skiers to precisely “fine tunes” buckle closure tension for a more exact fit.

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

ID Max (Hike):
- A balanced foothold and maximal shock absorbtion despite offering comfortable cushioning - these are the key benefits of the ID MAX. In selected models (Hike Version), integrated flexible parts guarantee a smooth and comfortable walking / hiking with the liner. All ID MAX liners can be thermoformed in only 10-12 minutes with great memory effect.

Quick Macro Cuff Rack Extension (Tool Free):
- Extra wide cuff buckle catch can be easily moved into 1 of 3 positions (total range = 30mm) without tools, enhancing the cuff fitting capabilities for a wide variety of leg circumferences and shapes.

Replacement Toe / Heel Protector:
- Patented Toe-Heel inserts for lighter, more durable ski-boots. High density special compound insert provide outstanding durability in any heavy usage.
