Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA Alpine Touring Boot

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA is a women's freeride touring boot for skiers with narrow feet who split days between the resort and the skin track. A 98 mm last with a BOA dial on the lower shell wraps a low-volume foot evenly, and a 105 flex from a Prolite polyurethane shell gives real control on firm snow. At 1,656 g per boot in a 24.5, with 54 degrees of cuff rotation from the Free/Lock 4.5 lever, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA suits sidecountry laps and day tours.

Why We Like It

  • The BOA Fit System, a dial and steel cable on the lower shell, tightens the forefoot evenly in fine steps instead of at one buckle point.
  • Memory Fit, Atomic's heat-molding process for the shell, cuff, and Mimic Gold liner, lets a narrow foot get a custom shape in one session.
  • The 105 flex from a Prolite polyurethane shell, thinned where it can be and reinforced where it drives the ski, holds an edge on firm snow without a resort-boot weight.
  • The Skywalk GripWalk sole carries tech inserts, so the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA works in GripWalk and MNC alpine bindings and pin/tech touring bindings.

Best Uses

  • Resort days with sidecountry laps
  • Day tours and uphill resort routes
  • Women with narrow, low-volume feet
  • All-mountain and freeride skis

Bootfitter's Advice

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA fits narrow on a 98 mm last, measured at a 26.5 shell, and smaller shells scale narrower still. Skiers with a narrow forefoot, a low instep, and a slim heel lock in well, and we find the heel pocket one of the tightest in women's touring boots; a wide forefoot or high instep will need shell work or a roomier boot. A women's-specific cuff sits 15 mm lower for smaller calves.

Memory Fit heats the shell, cuff, and liner together, and we can punch polyurethane readily for a sixth toe or navicular. The BOA dial spreads pressure across the forefoot, which helps feet that a conventional lower buckle irritates. The inside ankle bones are the usual pressure point, and a Memory Fit mold is our first step there.

Final sizing should be confirmed with a shell fit whenever possible.

Common Questions

What bindings work with the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA?
The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA has a GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole with tech inserts. It works with GripWalk and MNC alpine bindings and with pin/tech touring bindings. It is not compatible with standard ISO 5355-only alpine bindings.
Who should buy the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA?
Women with narrow, low-volume feet who want one boot for the resort and day tours. The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA suits intermediate to advanced skiers who want a 105 flex and a BOA forefoot wrap.
Is the 98 mm last the same in every size?
No. The 98 mm figure is measured at a 26.5 shell, and smaller shells are narrower. The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA is a low-volume boot in every size, so a wide foot should be checked at a shell fit.
How much does the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA weigh?
The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA weighs 1,656 g per boot in a size 24.5, light enough for day tours with a polyurethane shell that still skis firm snow with control.
Can the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA be heat molded?
Yes. Memory Fit heat-molds the shell, cuff, and Mimic Gold liner together, and the polyurethane shell can be punched for specific pressure points.
What is the BOA dial for?
The BOA dial replaces the lower buckles on the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA. It tightens a steel cable around the forefoot in small steps, giving an even wrap with fewer pressure points than a single buckle.

Our Verdict

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA is a precise, low-volume women's touring boot for skiers who want one boot for the resort and the backcountry. The 98 mm last and BOA dial wrap a narrow foot evenly, the 105 flex skis firm snow with control, and the GripWalk sole with tech inserts covers GripWalk, MNC, and pin/tech bindings. Wide feet should look elsewhere, and long tour days favor a lighter boot. For a narrow foot and a mix of lift laps and day tours, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 105 BOA is a strong fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What foot shape works best?

Low- to medium-volume feet with a lower instep and secure heel.

Does it punch well?

Minor boot fitting is possible, but race boots are less forgiving to modify than heavier Grilamid touring boots.
