Not seeing a posted weight but 550g with tecton performance would be interesting to me for sure.

The stated weight of the original Tecton is 550 grams as well, but in reality it's closer to 680 grams with brakes. Will be interesting to see actual weights of this new carbon version.

ahahaha - those videos are awesome Adrgha, nice find! Techno, assembly + machines and big wig presenters who are so woefully unprepared and unfamiliar with the script as to come across as genuine. Brilliant!
That they still present the silly color clips as a feature says a lot about us as customers I guess

As for the claimed weights, the last time I checked my Vipec Evos were approx 600gr w/brake a piece, not 500 - so the new Tecton Carbon should be more like 650 when everything is said and done. Still, pretty impressive for the punch and performance that they pack.

Those colour clips are ridiculous

It seemed like they were saying the carbon would be more durable, they weren't really pushing the lower weight angle.

Heard on one of the Blister podcasts that the Booster Strap patent expires sometime in 2021; anyone seen any boots coming stock with elasticized straps?

Not the same as the existing Dual Strap from them as this now uses elastic like the Booster and can even regulate the amount of give on them before they resist. Think I’ll replace my booster with them this Fall.
Talks about the new version of the Dual Strap at the 1:11 mark.

It looks like the new Krypton with tech fittings doesn't have a removable tongue. That seems like a big oversight.
Any tips on swapping out the tongue attachment piece to make it removable. I tried last year with no luck.

Because the upper cuff is not attached to the lower clog on a dalbello, removing the tongue would give you nearly as much forward range of motion as their touring boots. The walk mode only increases the rearward range of motion. Rearward ROM really comes into play on long flat tours. If you don't typically tour on that type of terrain, the forward ROM is the important one. A lot of people break the walk mode on Lupo's. The Krypton can now be the do everything boot for those people.
As for looseness, it's exactly the same as the Lupo. The ankle strap can hold your foot down.

I beg to differ. The middle buckle on Kryptons are riveted trough both the upper cuff and the lowers, restricting any swivelling around the main pivot. This is something that becomes clear when trying to add the larger forward lean shim at the back of Kryptons, it takes some real effort to get that in place. If the upper cuff had forward freedom of motion, swapping forward lean shims would be a walk in the park. Check again!
