Atomic Hawx Prime XTD Ski Boot

It is designed to handle both equally well. The 120 flex provides the stiffness needed for resort performance, while the 54-degree range of motion and walk-mode lever make it efficient enough for backcountry touring.

The 100mm last is considered a medium fit, which accommodates the majority of foot shapes comfortably. Since the shell and liner are moldable, you can further customize the fit to address specific pressure points or volume needs.

The Free/Lock 4.5 lever offers a smooth, natural stride thanks to the 54-degree range of motion. It is designed to be reliable and easy to engage, making it a solid choice for longer backcountry objectives.

These boots feature GripWalk soles, so you must ensure your bindings are GripWalk compatible or ISO 9523 touring compatible. Most modern alpine bindings are compatible, but it is worth double-checking your specific setup before heading out.

A 120 flex is generally considered stiff and responsive, ideal for advanced skiers who want power transfer. If you prefer a more forgiving ride or have a lighter build, you might find it demanding, but the moldable liner helps maintain comfort throughout the day.
