25/26 gear rumors thread

doesn't the boa have a positive click , AND a negative click on it? And pull out to loosen ALL the pressure?

yes you can tighten or loosen depending on which way you turn the knob with each click. Or pull the knob to fully release all tension.

Heritage Labs will release new skis in the mid fat and fat range that will lighten our wallets further.

God willing

Worst gear rumors thread ever. Attachment 508858

I know eh, all over the map/ poorly communicated/ poorly executed I had to provide the BOA link

I have 2 pair of lotus 120 in good shape and 2 pair of the exact same dalbello with real buckles so I'm good

It does but just want to pop them open once in the lodge and not fiddle fuck with ‘em. Just not a fan of the slack it throws. Ah well.

Having tried some boa boots - it feels like solving a problem I don’t have.. Am I missing something?

Also, anyone have beta on new volkl v-werks mantra-ish ski some spancered folks have been cruising?

Does anyone know what's wrong with buckles on boots?

Nothing at all! They work great. But boa opens up new options and ways to build boots which we have found has allowed new ways to think about ski boots and so far it’s performing really well!

Did you do any experiments with a toe and upper cuff buckle and a boa at the ankle replacing buckles 2 and 3? I'm not sure if it would even be practical with the boot flexing and the need to get the foot into the boot. But MO and Gaijin's posts made that idea pop into my head.

Cuff you really want to work as one so the current configuration of a single self actuating cable works really well. No need for any actions buckles , they would in fact reduce the effectiveness as they are a static tension. As far as the toe we really don’t see any need for it. If you build the shell for boa you can get a really good wrap from the shell with the single cable design. Clamping the toe down really does nothing so long as you are not in a boot way to big and you are trying to make a big boot fit

Anything on the horizon with boa and cabrio?

We are developing it currently yes.

in a 140 flex LV with tech fittings and a walk mode?

We have to get the system to work correctly before we even get to models. It’s funny you would think boots which have traditionally always used cables would be really easy to adapt for boa but it’s turning out to be quite the challenge.

How do you think boa will improve the cabrio design/preforamce? Are you going to keep the middle/heel buckle? Thanks for working on it, I know there's not a lot of money in 3 piece.

That is honestly the hard part. We are only going to do it if it makes the boots fit and or perform better. If it’s literally just replacing buckles for the sake of it there’s no point.

So far we have a decent fit from it but not in a solution which works better. So it fits a bit better but is not better overall. We are going to spend a lot of time on it this winter so hopefully we will get closer by the end of the season.

Good luck, you got this!

Seems like 2[emoji646]26 BOA discussion warrants its own thread.

You are gona BOA no mater what, no matter if you like it or not, in spite of this shitty half as non-presenation

cuz thats how we ski in 2025

[pfluffenmeister]

It’s comments like this that keep me coming back to TGR.

Also interesting to note that teamdirt’s mother was boa’s last choice

At least BOA should tighten her up a bit.

[iriponsnow]

I've seen hints of a new atomic boot as well, a mix between the CS and Hawx...anyone got any details?

It’s called the Remedy / 96mm / DIN / gummy sole / replaceable toe/ heels - what I know.

[FloridaSnow]

New Rossi

[DoubleBogey]

wtf

Fits wider than 96mm. They may call it 96mm. But it is wider. Still going to make a good everyday performance boot.
