Atomic’s Hawx Prime 105 is made for comfortable high-performance skiing. A 100mm last and a well-considered shape hold the foot without squeezing, whilst still providing the control needed for good skiing. The pre-shaped 3D Gold liner adds precision and improves the fit, as well as having Thinsulate to wrap the whole foot for warmth and comfort. The shell benefits from Prolite design that blends lightness, power and sensitivity, as well as the customised fitting of the mouldable Memory Fit technology.
Ability Level
Overview
Fit
Medium fit around the heel and ankle, medium to high instep, medum to wide across the forefoot.
Shell
PU Memory Fit shell and cuff, mouldable. The advanced heat fitting technology of Memory Fit creates a fully personalised shell and cuff in minutes. The key is Memolink, a special additive that improves the mouldability and stretch characteristics of the plastic. The boot shell is heated in an oven, then the skier’s foot is placed inside the complete boot whilst it cools. With the foot’s natural standing pressure, the forefoot of the boot can expand up to 3mm per side and the ankle area up to 5mm per side.
Liner
3D Gold W Thinsulate, mouldable. Thermoformable material is used in the heel, ankle and midfoot areas. The liner is heated in an oven and is cooled to form to the shape of the skier’s feet. 3D means pre-shaped heel and ankles areas for better foot hold and comfort. Thinsulate is the world’s best-known insulation and its use keeps feet warmer.
Key Features
Prolite
Prolite is a way of building skis and boots that turns traditional thinking on its head. Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then it builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed.
Power Shift
Power Shift allows the forward lean to be adjusted to 13o, 15o or 17o simply by moving the power control up and down. You can also alter the flex index by +/- 10 flex points by adding or removing a screw. Creates a completely personalised set-up.
Energy Backbone
The Energy Backbone is a reinforced, asymmetric backbone that provides extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.
Thinsulate
The more air a material traps in a given space the greater its insulating value. The microfibres in 3M Thinsulate insulation are far finer than any other fibres, which means they trap more insulating air in less space, even when wet. This keeps feet warm and responsive even in extremely cold and damp conditions.
