Tecnica Mach1 LV 130 Ski Boots 2026

The 2026 Tecnica Mach1 LV 130 isn’t just the stiffer sibling of the LV 120, it feels like its own refined tool built for more aggressive and advanced skiers. Tecnica did an unbelievable job making improvements to this boot wthout losing any of the characteristics that made the Mach1 130 one of the best skiing boots on the market.  Tecnica reshaped the shell and liner, easing pressure in all the right zones while still locking you into a true low-volume fit. The instep is more forgiving, the toe box has a touch more breathing room, and overall entry is smoother, but once you’re buckled in, it still feels like a true performance oriented boot built for experts who want precision and top tier performance. 

On snow, the LV 130 is sharper and more energetic than the 120 and previous versions of the Mach1 LV. Tecnica’s updated T-Drive spine gives the flex extra snap and rebound, so transitions feel quicker and edge hold feels even more authoritative. It’s lighter than the previous generation, which you notice walking around or bootpacking, but it hasn’t lost its power, it just trades a little of the old model’s damp, bulldozer feel for a livelier, more reactive ride. That means in chopped-up snow you’ll feel more feedback, but on firm groomers and in aggressive turns, the boot feels confident and always ready to charge.

The updates make the LV 130 easier to fit out of the box while still delivering the stiff, uncompromising response skiers expect from a 130 flex. It’s lighter, more anatomically shaped, and more precise than ever. This is a true high-performance boot for skiers who want maximum control without fighting their feet all day.
