Blending the comfort and power of the proven Prime range with the lightness and natural movement of the XTD and Backland models, the all new Hawx Prime XTD is where all mountain skiing meets freeride and backcountry. Memory Fit on the shell means it can be heat moulded to even more closely match the foot shape; the excellent Mimic Platinum liner uses a unique process to take an impressive mould of the heel and ankle area for the best comfort and control. Comes with GripWalk soles and tech insoles so it can be used with a range of bindings.
Ability Level
Overview
Fit
An average fit on the rearfoot with generous forefoot width and a medium to high instep.
Shell
Prolite Memory Fit Polyamide (PA) shell and PU 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
Mimic Platinum with Touring Flex Zone, mouldable. Atomic's unique Mimic liners use a layer of supportive thermoformable material in the heel, ankle and tongue areas. After being softened in an oven, this material mimics the precise shape of your foot, and hardens in that shape for a perfect custom fit. In addition there is heat mouldable foam in the tongue, forefoot and ankle area that can be formed to the foot at the same time as the Mimic material.
Key Features
Free/Lock 4.0
Flick from ski to walk mode with one simple switch. In walk mode they offer an epic cuff movement. In the ski setting you can choose 13o/150/17o via the adjustable forward lean.
Frictionless Pivot
Igus polymer bushings provide a completely natural movement for effortless ascents.
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.
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.
