Tecnica Mach1 LV 120 Ski Boots 2026

The 2026 Tecnica Mach1 LV 120 takes everything skiers loved about its predecessor and makes it easier to live with, all without giving up an ounce of performance. Tecnica reshaped the boot to be more anatomically accurate, so it hugs your foot in a way that feels natural rather than forced. The big news here is the instep, it’s more generous than before, which means slipping your foot in doesn’t feel like a battle and long days on snow don’t come with unnecessary pressure points. Even with these fit updates, the boot holds onto its true LV DNA: a 98 mm last, precise feel, and a powerful 120 flex that can handle just about everything you want to throw at it. On snow, the Mach1 LV 120 skis every bit as well as the last version. Power transfer is crisp, stability is unwavering, and the flex pattern stays smooth across temps thanks to Tecnica’s T-Drive system and updated shell materials. 

The lighter shell is a welcome update, especially for the trek to the lift or long days bouncing around the mountain, but the reduction in weight doesn’t translate into lower performance. It’s still capable of drving skis predictably, still powerful when you need it to be, and the boot you want if precision matters. The improvements are subtle but meaningful: easier entry, more comfort across the instep, and a more natural shape overall. For skiers who demand performance but don’t want to compromise on fit, this new Mach1 LV 120 feels like the best of both worlds. It's lighter, smoother, and more forgiving where you want it, while staying unflinchingly strong everywhere else. This is a more modern Mach1 and we love it.
