Dalbello Lupo TI Ski Boots 2017

Dalbello Lupo TI Ski Boots 2017

THE BEST HIKE/SKI FUNCTION PAIRED WITH THE BEST SHELL IN FREESKIING.

The Lupo, Sean Pettits boot, is based off of the KR2 (Krypton) Pro.  The differences being, the Lupo has a hike mode, replaceable toe and heel pieces and a more forgiving ID liner.  Because of the hike mode that was added to the boot it will be slightly softer than the KR2 Pro.  It's 98mm shell feels much more comfortable and less constricting than most which you'll be thankful for if you are touring or hiking.  The ID liner takes the boot to another level, molding not only to all the indentations on your foot, ankle and lower leg, but to all the indentations in the shell too.  What you get is unmatched performance hiking up but more importantly skiing down.  Skiing down is the best part right?

The Lupo Ti is a new boot for 2016, the difference between the TI and SP is lighter weight buckles, a rockered sole and tech inserts - hence the TI.  Finally the KR2 shell has a tour-able boot.

Forward Flex / Boot Fit

Forward flex of 130 and an boot last of 98 mm.

Cabrio Design - 3 Piece Shell - A Cabrio designed shell makes the boots extremely strong torsionally, while providing a smooth consistent flex pattern. The increased support around the skier's foot and leg helps to maximize energy transmission and response.

Contour 4 - Dalbello is basically pre-stretching the ski boots to ensure instant comfort. They use inner boot foot mapping in four critical fit areas for an incredible out-of-box fit.

Dynamically Balanced Stance - This stance helps to center your body of the ski's sweet spot, giving you more control and maneuverability on all terrain and conditions.

Liner

I.D. KR MAX - A 100% custom heal moldable liner that is made with top-end Ultralon EVA Foam. This full wrap liner will give you the ultimate performance fit, with no pack out! The ID KR MAX liner is NOT body heat activated and needs to be heat molded on a Dalbello Intuition heater before use.

Buckles

3 Aluminum Micro-adjustable Buckles - Super durable with micro adjust. These really help you to dial in your fit.

Dynalink Retention System

Dynalink - A closure system that keeps the skier's foot from sliding around, and keeps the skier's heel locked into the heel pocket. This increases control and responsiveness.

Ski / Hike

Ski Hike Mode - Dalbello's ski/hike function is lightweight and super easy to use. It is also combined with a two position adjustable flex, for the ultimate in range of motion whether hiking, walking for shredding.

Additional Awesomeness

Twin Canting - Gives you the ability to find your perfect leg-to-cuff alignment.

Low Cuff Hinge Point - By having a lower hinge point, the boot can flex more naturally with the skier's legs. This provides more power and a smooth consistent flex pattern.

2 Switchable Tongues - The boots come with two ribbed tongues that are easily interchangeable.

Hy-Grip Rubber Toe/Heel - Maximum grip on the slickest of surfaces.

Rubber Clad Hike Sole - A full rubber arch provides traction while hiking or climbing to your destination.

Forefoot Buckle Inverted - This prevents easy buckle breakage and/or unbuckling when your doing a sweet grab while you're inverted after hitting a backcountry booter. Holler.
