Features
Description
The Shift Alpha 130 BOA is Salomon's entry into the freeride category for backcountry riders. It has an integrated BOA for better foot support and a two-buckle cuff for added support in downhill. 1700 grams gives the Alpha a close glimpse into the lighter weight freerdie boots currently on the market.
Tech Specs
Build Your Dream Package!
Joining the club alongside Salomon's Shift Alpha BOA 130, this boot establishes itself as a top contender in the backcountry freeride category. Nestling in between the Tecnica Zero G and Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD, the Alpha splashes down as a potential for the one boot quiver. While not recommended, the Alpha will meet the criteria for an all-day in-bounds and out-of-bounds ripper.
As you could have guessed, The new Shift Alpha features a BOA closure system! But this isn't your typical BOA setup. While it may still look like the same BOA H+i1 fit system, it's designed in a much cooler way. The dial is on the outside of your foot, across from your navicular bone, and the cable attaches to the inside ankle pivot with a strap. This helps pull your foot into the ankle pocket instead of squishing it. Plus, the top has two regular buckles and a 50mm elastic power strap that's a fancy Salomon Booster Strap. And to top it off, all the hardware is just screws and bolts, making it super easy to fix and tinker with.
