Over 3 years in the making & created with design input from renowned Big Mountain skier Chris Davenport the brand new Freedom range of Freeride ski boots have landed. Melding together all of Scarpa’s knowledge & technical knowhow from the AT & Telemark collections they have produced a state of the art collection. The Freedom SL offers the lightest in class performance, best range of motion for climbing & both the safest & most powerful connection to the ski. The Pebax Rnew & carbon fibre construction ensures these boots are lightweight while retaining their rigidity & stiffness. This is then accompanied by the Intuition Speed Liner providing comfort & warmth at all times. Features & Benefits Overlap Closure For a perfect foot wrapping & precision. The Overlap Technology is projected to guarantee a gap-free contact with the lower leg & instep. It provides great leverage & a precise power transmission. Ride power Block Easy mechanism to unlock & lock due to the absence of the connecting rod between the shell & cuff. Friction is reduced to zero to maximize the freedom of movement during the walking. Toltal cuff range of 27°. Core Connect An Innovative system of attaching the sole to the shell. The sole is secured by a plate that is over-injected into the tip & metal nuts embedded in the shell. Core Connect Technology increases power transmission to the ski due to the reduced distance in between the foot & the ski. Mountain plus Sole Has a Vibram heel with minimum thickness for maximum adherence to the ski & optimum grip. The Vibram rubber toe has a smooth profile for easy entry into AT bindings. Central helix nails with anti-slip profile for a better grip. Speed ride Liner Why Intuition liners….. Intuition liners are made with ULTRALON EVA foam, which is renowned for its malleability, flexibility & durability. ULTRALON thermo-forming cross-linked closed cell foam is designed to be more resistant to packing out than any other foam, it is also lighter & warmer than standard liner
