A 120 flex over a carbon loaded PA shell holds an edge on skis 100 mm and wider, while the 100 mm last runs medium through the forefoot and the instep. At 1,380 g per boot in a 26\/26.5 with 74 degrees of cuff rotation, the Backland XTD Carbon 120 GW sits in the middle of the touring range, heavy enough to ski hard and light enough for long

cuff across the size run and a ramp angle of 4 degrees. Confirm size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe number. The boot ships with a size adjuster, liner laces, and a liner spoiler, so there is room to tune volume and forward position before anyone touches the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can heat and punch carbon loaded PA, and Memory Fit is built for shell and cuff shaping, but a carbon loaded shell is less forgiving of large modifications than a plain polyamide one, so we work it in stages rather than in one pass. The 3D Platinum Tour liner is heat-moldable, and because Cross Lace 2.5 pulls the forefoot down through the lower buckle, a liner mold is usually the first move on a heel that lifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eFit profile reviewed by CCBB bootfitters.
