ATOMIC Backland Ultimate Ski Touring Boots - Skimo (AE5019080)

Racing engineering for maximum efficiency: Atomic Backland Ultimate The Backland Ultimate (Reference AE5019080) has been stripped of everything unnecessary to focus on one thing: speed. It is the logical evolution for the skier seeking a trail-running shoe feel on the way up, but with the stiffness required to tackle technical descents with precision.

Main Features

• Featherweight (775g): Thanks to its minimalist design and use of advanced materials, it is one of the lightest boots on the market, drastically reducing fatigue during massive vertical gains.

• Frictionless Pivot: Incorporates high-tech polymer bushings that allow for 80° of cuff rotation without any friction. This provides an ankle movement so natural it allows for long, fluid strides on any type of slope.

• Free/Lock 3.0 System: An ultra-simplified and lightweight locking mechanism. With a single gesture, the boot locks for the descent; it is fast, reliable, and designed for split-second transitions in competition.

• Carbon-loaded Grilamid Shell: The use of reinforced Grilamid ensures the boot is extremely thin and light, yet with surprising torsional stiffness for its weight, allowing for direct energy transfer to the ski.

• Platinum Speed Liner: An ultra-thin, breathable, and washable liner designed to fit like a sock. It is fully thermoformable to ensure there are no pressure points during hours of intense effort.

• Full Rubber Skywalk Sole: Specifically designed to offer traction on ridges or rocks where carrying skis is necessary, complying with ISMF competition safety standards.
