130-Flex Freeride Touring Boot

Scarpa Maestrale RS Alpine Touring Boot

The Scarpa Maestrale RS is a freeride touring boot built for expert skiers who want alpine-boot authority on the descent without giving up a walk mode. The 101 mm fits many feet, while the 130 flex, the Grilamid shell and the four-buckle closure with a Booster Active Power Strap provide the leverage to drive wide skis through heavy snow. At 1,570 grams per boot in a 27, with a four-position Speed Lock 4 walk mechanism and 15, 17 or 19 degrees of forward lean, the Maestrale RS is a practical choice for freeride touring, sidecountry laps and technical descents where downhill power matters more than saving grams.

Is This the Right Boot for You?

Best For
Expert backcountry skiers with medium-volume feet who ski aggressively, drive skis 90 to 115 mm underfoot, and want alpine-boot downhill power paired with 61 degrees of touring range of motion.
Consider Another Boot If
You have a wide or high-volume foot beyond a 101 mm last, or you want a fast-and-light boot under 1,400 grams, since the 1,570-gram Maestrale RS sits at the heavier, more downhill-focused end of the touring range.

Why We Like It

  • The 130 flex is one of the more honest 130s in touring. We find the Maestrale RS skis firm and progressive, closer to a true alpine 130 than most touring boots that claim the number.
  • The redesigned four-buckle closure with the Booster Active Power Strap wraps the foot in a uniform, high-tension hold that limits heel lift and drives power to the ski.
  • The Speed Lock 4 walk mechanism and 61 degrees of cuff rotation give a long, secure stride on the skin track for a boot this stiff.
  • The bi-injection carbon-infused Grilamid shell adds stiffness around the flex zone without the harshness of a full carbon boot, and the Pebax Rnew cuff keeps the flex progressive.
  • The Vibram Cayman LT sole, ISO 9523 (Touring), with certified tech inserts grips rocky approaches and pairs with pin/tech touring bindings.

Best Uses

  • Freeride touring and ski mountaineering where the descent matters most
  • Aggressive skiing on touring skis 90 to 115 mm underfoot
  • Big backcountry days that mix long ascents with demanding descents
  • Skiers who want one boot to charge in the backcountry and lap the occasional resort day
  • Medium-volume feet on a 101 mm last

Bootfitter's Advice

The Maestrale RS fits as a medium-volume boot on a 101 mm last, with a secure heel, a medium instep, and enough forefoot room to suit a broad range of feet. After fitting the Maestrale line for years, we find it runs slightly true-to-snug in length, so confirm size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe number. Skiers coming off a narrow race-style boot will notice more room, while those on a wide alpine last should still try it on before assuming it is too tight.

We can punch the forefoot and sixth-toe area of the Grilamid shell, a plastic that holds a punch, but we avoid the darker carbon-core zones, which do not modify as easily. Plan on a heat mold for the Intuition Pro Flex Performance liner to lock in heel hold and take pressure off the instep. Skiers with a very high instep or a wide forefoot beyond a medium 101 mm last should budget for fit work or look at a higher-volume shell.

Compare the Scarpa Maestrale RS

Maestrale RS vs. Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro

Both are 130-flex four-buckle touring boots aimed at skiers who want alpine power on the way down. The Scarpa Maestrale RS runs a medium 101 mm last and 61 degrees of cuff rotation, while the Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro uses a narrower 99 mm last and is known for a longer, freer stride, so foot shape often decides between the two.

Maestrale RS vs. Dynafit Radical Pro

Skiers cross-shop these two as burly freeride touring boots. The Scarpa Maestrale RS is stiffer at a 130 flex on a 101 mm last, while the Dynafit Radical Pro is a 110-flex boot on a wider last near 103.5 mm, so the Radical Pro suits higher-volume feet and the Maestrale RS suits skiers who want more downhill drive.

Maestrale RS vs. Scarpa Maestrale

The Scarpa Maestrale RS is the stiffer, more downhill-focused sibling at a 130 flex and 1,570 g, while the standard Scarpa Maestrale runs a softer 115 flex at a lighter weight on the same 101 mm last. Skiers who prioritize a lighter uphill often pick the Maestrale, while those who charge hard on the descent choose the Maestrale RS.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Scarpa Maestrale RS?
The Scarpa Maestrale RS suits expert backcountry skiers with medium-volume feet who ski aggressively and want alpine-boot downhill power in a touring boot. It is built for skiers running touring skis 90 to 115 mm underfoot who still expect a real touring range of motion on the ascent.
Is the Scarpa Maestrale RS really a 130 flex?
Yes, and it is one of the more honest 130 ratings in the touring category. We find the Maestrale RS firm and progressive, closer to a true alpine 130 than many touring boots that claim the number. The four-buckle closure and Booster Active Power Strap add real stiffness over the previous three-buckle RS.
How much does the Scarpa Maestrale RS weigh?
The Scarpa Maestrale RS weighs 1,570 g per boot at size 27. That is 100 g heavier than the previous RS, a deliberate trade to gain the added downhill stiffness of the four-buckle redesign. Skiers chasing the lightest possible uphill should look at a lighter boot.
What bindings work with the Scarpa Maestrale RS?
The Scarpa Maestrale RS has a Vibram Cayman LT sole, ISO 9523 (Touring), with certified tech inserts, so the Scarpa Maestrale RS runs pin/tech (low-tech) bindings, AT/frame bindings, and MNC bindings that accept touring soles. The Scarpa Maestrale RS is not compatible with traditional ISO 5355 (Alpine) bindings, and unlike the 4-Quattro line the Scarpa Maestrale RS does not have a GripWalk sole. Confirm any MNC pairing against your specific binding model.
What foot shape fits the Scarpa Maestrale RS best?
The Scarpa Maestrale RS fits a medium-volume foot on a 101 mm last, with a secure heel, a medium instep, and forefoot room that suits a wide range of skiers. Wide forefeet and high insteps will need fit work, while narrow feet lock in well after a liner mold.
How does the sizing run on the Scarpa Maestrale RS?
Length runs true-to-snug on the Scarpa Maestrale RS, and Scarpa shells cover two Mondo sizes per shell (for example, a 26.5 and 27 share a shell). Confirm your size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe size, since the RS is a performance-oriented touring boot.
Can the Scarpa Maestrale RS drive a bigger ski?
Yes. The 130 flex and four-buckle construction give the Scarpa Maestrale RS the power to drive touring skis in the 90 to 115 mm range with confidence in variable snow. For a touring boot it skis heavier and firmer than most, which is the reason many skiers choose it over lighter options.
Can the Scarpa Maestrale RS be punched and molded?
Yes. We can punch the forefoot and sixth-toe area of the Grilamid shell, a plastic that holds a punch, though we avoid the darker carbon-core zones, which modify less forgivingly. The Intuition Pro Flex Performance liner is heat-moldable and we recommend a mold for the best heel hold and instep fit.
How does the Scarpa Maestrale RS compare to the standard Scarpa Maestrale?
The Scarpa Maestrale RS is the stiffer, more downhill-focused boot at a 130 flex and 1,570 g, while the standard Scarpa Maestrale runs a softer 115 flex at a lighter weight on the same 101 mm last. Skiers who value a lighter uphill often choose the Maestrale, and skiers who charge the descent choose the Maestrale RS.

Our Verdict

The Scarpa Maestrale RS is a strong choice for expert skiers who refuse to give up downhill performance for a touring boot. The redesign to a four-buckle closure with a Booster Active Power Strap, a bi-injection carbon-infused Grilamid shell, and a Pebax Rnew cuff gives the Maestrale RS a firm, progressive 130 flex that skis close to a true alpine boot, while the Speed Lock 4 walk mode and 61 degrees of cuff rotation keep the ascent efficient. The trade is weight: at 1,570 g per boot it sits at the heavier end of the touring range. For skiers with medium-volume feet who ski hard on skis 90 to 115 mm underfoot, the Maestrale RS delivers the descent power that lighter boots cannot.

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.
