Norco Krypton AX 110 Ski Boot - Men's

NORCO KRYPTON AX 110 SKI BOOT - MEN'S

Introduction of the AX 100 mm last gave Cabrio lovers something to rejoice about - finally they had access to Dalbello's smooth flexing 3 piece design without the need to crush their foot in a low volume 98 mm shell. Dalbello has been adding to the collection of AX models and the Dalbello Krypton AX 110 Ski Boots fill a niche for skiers seeking a performance boot that goes easy on the shins and is optimized for less than maniac speeds and softer snow conditions. Lighter experts and skiers whose idea of "charging" has evolved a little over the years will find the perfect balance of support and precision in this boot.

FEATURES

Fit

• Last: 100 mm – A well designed 100 mm last that fits average to slightly wider feet well.
• 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.
• Split Fit Tongue – Dalbello’s Split-Fit Tongue has a unique fore-aft sliding design that allows the tongue to accommodate a taller instep comfortably. The sliding function also allows for extremely easy entry and exit.

Flex

• Flex: 110 – Stiff but not too stiff, this flex is the perfect compromise between all mountain mobility and big mountain control.
• Kinetic Response Tongue – Highly resilient polyamide flex ribbed tongue stays in permanent contact with the leg for improved responsiveness and control. Interchangeable flex stiffness.

Liner

• IF Sport Liner – These liners are 100% pre-formed and ready for try-on and ski 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.

Shell Materials & Design

• Cabrio Design Architecture – Dalbello's 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 flex. 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.
• Shell / Cuff / Tongue – PU (Polyurethane) / PU / PA (Polyamide)

Stance

• Dynamically Balanced 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.
• Twin Axis Canting – 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.
• 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 movement of the skier’s legs because it has a longer range of forward and rearward hinging motion.
• 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 3 mm Hex Head Screw. No Insert = 11° / 4 mm Insert = 13° (stock) / 8 mm Insert = 15° (in box).

Buckles

• Micro-Adjustable Aluminum Buckles – A simple turn of a buckle! Micrometer buckles are easy to use for easy fit customization.
• 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.
• Inverted Forefoot Buckle – Forefoot closure buckle above the instep is inverted and designed to close on the top of a boot shell, not the side. The top closure positioning prevents buckle breakage and bending during rail slides, grinds, falls, and transitions.
• Screwed Rivets – Dalbello uses high quality screwed rivets (as opposed to permanent “crimped” rivets) to allow for easier bootfitter access and repair.

Power Strap

• 40mm Velcro Strap

Bootboard & Footbed

• Orthofit Performance Insole

Sole
