130-Flex Freeride Touring Boot

Scarpa Maestrale RS Touring Boot

Expert backcountry skiers who ski the descent as hard as the climb will feel at home in the Scarpa Maestrale RS. A 130 flex on a 101 mm last drives a 105 mm ski through crud with the authority of a resort boot, and the four-buckle closure with a Booster Active Power Strap, an elastic strap that keeps tension as the cuff moves, holds the heel down through it. At 1,570 g per boot the Scarpa Maestrale RS sits at the heavy end of touring boots, which is the trade for that power on days when the line matters more than the split.

Why We Like It

  • A 130 flex is the stiffest rating Scarpa gives a Maestrale, and it holds an edge in variable snow that softer touring boots wash out of.
  • The four-buckle closure replaces the previous three-buckle Wave layout and spreads tension evenly from the metatarsals to the cuff.
  • The Booster Active Power Strap, an elastic power strap, keeps pressure on the tongue as the cuff moves instead of going slack.
  • The Vibram Cayman LT sole, a lugged rubber outsole, grips rocky bootpacks and carries certified tech inserts for pin bindings.

Best Uses

  • Descent-focused backcountry touring
  • Skis 95 to 115 mm underfoot
  • Sidecountry and lift-accessed touring
  • Variable snow and technical descents
  • Skiers who want an alpine-like flex in a touring shell

Bootfitter's Advice

The Scarpa Maestrale RS runs a 101 mm last, which is 1 mm narrower than the previous generation and places the Maestrale RS in medium-volume territory rather than wide. The four-buckle closure gives more adjustment range across the instep than the three-buckle Wave layout it replaces, so a low instep can be taken up with buckle position rather than liner volume. Confirm size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe number.

A Grilamid shell, a tough engineering nylon, takes forefoot and sixth-toe punches well and holds the correction. The Intuition Pro Flex Performance liner, a heat-moldable foam liner, should be molded to set heel hold before the boot sees a full day.

Compare the Scarpa Maestrale RS

Maestrale RS vs. Scarpa Maestrale

The Scarpa Maestrale is the softer, more forgiving boot in the line, built on a 102 mm last with a polyurethane shell and a 115 flex. Skiers who want maximum drive choose the Scarpa Maestrale RS at a 130 flex on a narrower 101 mm last; skiers who want all-day comfort and a wider forefoot choose the Scarpa Maestrale.

Maestrale RS vs. Scarpa 4-Quattro Pro

Both use a four-buckle closure. The Scarpa 4-Quattro Pro is the resort-and-touring hybrid with a GripWalk sole and more shell mass, while the Scarpa Maestrale RS keeps an ISO 9523 touring sole and less weight. Skiers splitting time inside the ropes lean 4-Quattro Pro; skiers touring most days lean Maestrale RS.

Maestrale RS vs. Dynafit Radical Pro

These cross-shop as stiff all-mountain touring boots. The Dynafit Radical Pro runs a wider last and the Hoji Lock walk mechanism, while the Scarpa Maestrale RS is 101 mm with four buckles and a stiffer 130 rating. Foot volume usually decides between them before flex does.

Common Questions

What bindings work with the Scarpa Maestrale RS?
The Scarpa Maestrale RS has a Vibram Cayman LT sole certified to ISO 9523 (Touring) with tech inserts, so the 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 standard ISO 5355 (Alpine) bindings. Confirm any MNC pairing against the specific binding model.
Is the Scarpa Maestrale RS a 125 flex?
No. Scarpa rates the current Scarpa Maestrale RS at 130. The 125 belongs to the previous generation, which used a Grilamid Bio shell, a three-buckle Wave closure and the Speed MLT walk mechanism. Listings still showing 125 flex on a 102 mm last are describing that earlier boot. Flex numbers are not standardized between brands, so read 130 as a touring-boot 130.
How many buckles does the Scarpa Maestrale RS have?
Four, plus a Booster Active Power Strap. Scarpa redesigned the Scarpa Maestrale RS around a four-buckle closure borrowed from the 4-Quattro line, replacing the three-buckle Wave and HRS arrangement used through the previous generation.
What foot shape fits the Scarpa Maestrale RS best?
The Scarpa Maestrale RS is built on a 101 mm last, which suits a medium-volume foot. A Grilamid shell punches readily for a wide forefoot or a prominent sixth toe. A very high instep or a narrow heel should be confirmed with a shell fit before purchase.
How much does the Scarpa Maestrale RS weigh?
Scarpa lists 1,570 g per boot at size 27. That figure places the Scarpa Maestrale RS at the heavy end of alpine touring boots, above lighter freeride shells and well above ski mountaineering boots. The weight buys the 130 flex and the four-buckle closure.
How well does the Scarpa Maestrale RS tour?
The Scarpa Maestrale RS tours well for a boot of this stiffness. The Speed Lock 4 mechanism opens the cuff with one lever and offers four positions, and forward lean adjusts from 19 degrees down to 17 and 15 degrees. Long high-mileage days still favor a lighter shell.
Can the Scarpa Maestrale RS be punched and molded?
Yes. A Grilamid shell, a tough engineering nylon, accepts professional punching in the forefoot and sixth-toe area and holds the shape. The Intuition Pro Flex Performance liner is a heat-moldable foam liner and should be molded to set heel hold.

Our Verdict

The Scarpa Maestrale RS is the strongest-skiing boot in the Maestrale line and the choice for skiers who will carry weight uphill to get power on the way down. The redesign moves the Scarpa Maestrale RS to a 130 flex on a 101 mm last with four buckles and a Booster Active Power Strap, which is a real change in fit and drive from the three-buckle 125 that came before. At 1,570 g per boot the Scarpa Maestrale RS asks for a reason to be carried, and a 105 mm ski in variable snow is that reason.

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.
