Roxa are quietly making a name for themselves with the excellent R3 Ultralight range & this latest version of the R3 130 T.I. is sure to continue this. It's a powerful freeride boot that really does flex like a 130 alpine model. The Cabrio design uses a 3-piece construction of shell, cuff & tongue that comfortably & securely holds the foot whilst producing a smooth & progressive flex. This open throat design ensures easy entry & exit & means high shell walls can be used to provide excellent power transmission, without making the boot over stiff. Grilamid on the shell & cuff mean the weight is kept down without affecting performance. The shell utilises Biofit technology, these are preformed shapes in common problem areas at the 1st & 5th metatarsal heads, ankle & navicular, to ease pressure & create a natural feel. To improve on this the shell can be heat moulded for a better fit, & the liner is the brilliant Intuition tongue version that is formed during fitting to take the best shape of the skier's feet. Ability Level Overview Fit A snug rear foot & a medium to high volume fit in the forefoot, cabrio construction gives some flexibility for height over the instep.
