Well there ya go. Not really an improvement imo, would have liked to see an f1 with a higher, burlier cuff and an alien style closure.

990g claimed weight in a 27, 100 flex. No word on last but it looks like the shoe is the same as the alien rs. Can’t imagine they would feel like building new molds for this given the popularity of the rs.

I think people will find it also has even more stability at speed than the older version. The new core construction and resulting flex profile combined with the new sidecut design allow it to be easier at slower speeds but more stability at higher speeds.
Sounds counterintuitive I know.

Somewhere in this thread or elsewhere Jason K. mentioned that the last will be slightly roomier than the RS.
I think the key on this new boot will be whether or not that powerstrap buckle has improved camming range over the old F1. The F1 was never really a one-motion lock down because the strap had to be reset manually.

Yeah that’s odd imo. I would have thought that keeping the f1 in the 1200~g weight class but adding more ski ability would have made more sense. Big jump between a F1 and a Mistrale now eh

Pico is sweet and really glad to hear about the new Salomon lineup. It's been getting some press and all sounds good so far.
Thanks for the review

Wasatchback, can you elaborate too? I have both the original mv and the newer (-5mm bsl)
Seem similar, but with newer shell maybe a bit tighter ankle and instep but super close. Full length zeppa a plus. Also feels like lost a mm or 2
in internal length but not the full 5.

New MV is just a more anatomical version of the present one. More shape means the liner has to do less
of the work when it comes to holding your foot in place and you get less voids in the fit. I've skied 10-15
runs in the new one but never really skied the present version and haven't put it on my foot in a while. I'm
an LV fit so the MV was a little too big for me in the forefoot. New shape allowed us to shave a decent amount
of weight off the boot without compromising the plastic. Still PE/PU but 1950g instead of around 2200g.
Shouldn't feel like a drastically different boot. Just a more refined version of the one you have.

Those Spur colors remind me a bit of old Hexcels

Not even. Still a burly ski, with a new core (which is actually mildly heavier than this year's version), and slightly different flex tip and tail. Skied it two days in Big Sky and it's the best version yet. Easy turn initiation and solid edge hold at speed. New sizes with a six cm break instead of seven... e.g.... 183cm & 189cm instead of 180 & 187.
