Just Pulled the trigger on the 130. I really Needed to get out of my titan UL with close to 600 days and sloppy cuffs.
The XTD has been on my radar since this thread was started last year. (thnx resident gear whores for the great info)
I Loved the fit and flex out of box once I finally tried them on, but white pine shop in PC listed them for $950 (go fuck yourself)
Only con is bunching of the "wet sock" of a liner on entry and removal, but hope to get a season out of them before going back to the trusted intuition liner.
Will report back once I get some days in, but stoked on the purchase and had to tell someone, and thanks to my fantasy football team managers (losers!) for the money, and my new bootsLast edited by My Pet Powder Goat; 01-04-2018 at 02:33 AM.

I actually like the liner,but the bunching of the liner is really annoying.
Total boot nerdy but I'm may buy this thing just to avoid the annoying entry-

I have a similar thing, bought from England, and it really helps.

Anyone here mounted Beast heel spurs on this boot? Looking at doing it, but the metal Beast heel fitting sits a little bit above the plastic lip of the Hawx boot heel. Anything to be concerned about?
The Beast heel fitting sat flush on the old boots (Dynafit One), but those were not WTR boots, so thinking that might be the difference.

100% of the entire upper lip of the Beast heel insert sits above 100% of the entire upper lip of the plastic heel of the Hawx boot. Not just the round ends of the Beast heel inserts, where the two side mounted screws install.
The Beast insert is only above the Hawx plastic heel edge by a millimeter or two. I don't know if this will make any difference if used in a Beast or old style Dynafit binding.
I expect it would make a difference if used in a WTR or alpine binding.

Are you going to drumal out some plastic from the heel to sit the insert flush?
My boots won't get here for a couple days, is it possible to get a photo of the finished product? They way I'll know more about what I'm working withLast edited by My Pet Powder Goat; 01-07-2018 at 08:45 PM.

Update - mounted the Beast heel fittings onto my Hawx boots. Looks like it'll work OK.
The boot heels are hollow, so drilling for the side screws on the Beast fitting goes straight through. The screw tips protrude a little bit into the inside of the boot, but they are completely underneath the zeppa. Should be fine.

With Amer Sports and Rossignol/Lange moving to team GripWalk will the Hawx Ultra XTD be seeing a sole update for 2018-2019? My 0G Guide Pro is about to break for the 3rd time (great boot other than the durability issue) and while the Atomic is on my shortlist for new boots I'd rather not get stuck with WTR soles now that everyone's decided that GripWalk will be the "in-between" standard.

not to be rude here and answer a question with a question - but if most of the relevant bindings on the market that i can think of are wtr compatible now (tecton, shift, kingpin, all dynafit type bindings, attack wtr bindings, pivot/rossi 12/14s (dunno about marker)) and those that are not are not gripwalk compatible either (pivot 18 and so on) - what does it matter if they swap soles on the Hawx for next year?
Before boot compatibility of the current Hawx XTD to decent bindings will become an issue, the boots you buy today will probably be worn out anyway. It might be that significant developments have passed me by, but i for one do not see anything revolutionary happening in the binding market before long - especially not in the all alpine segment, though by all means, the introduction of the Shift bindings might open some flood gate I might be totally off though - it would not have been the first time, nor the last.

you prob saw it over at NS, but if not this is Atomic's lead boot designer's answer to your question above
source:https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/t...tra-XTD?page=6
so now you know the official line and not only my question to your question Matt's availability is second to none and up there with ON3P - i find it really impressive how good he is with sharing info on their products and in answering questions.
(sorry if i cross some line posting his reply on NS here on TGR as a quote or in linking to another similar thread on NS, but i found the answer informative and wanted to share for those that are not on NS )Last edited by kid-kapow; 01-25-2018 at 08:43 AM.
