An absolute benchmark in the hybrid Freeride / Touring category, the Cochise series by Tecnica has been designed to make no compromises between downhill performance and comfort when walking or climbing on touring skis.

T-Ride Walk/Ski Mechanism and Downhill Performance

The core of its versatility lies in the T-Ride system: a cuff locking and unlocking mechanism with an integrated locking rod that structurally connects the cuff to the lower shell. When skiing downhill, the lever acts as a solid backbone, eliminating any play in flex and delivering the same stiffness, energy rebound and edge transmission as a pure alpine piste boot. In Walk mode, it provides a 55° range of motion for skinning ascents or walking approaches without fatigue.

Dynafit DYN Inserts and Asymmetrical Design

It comes standard with certifiable Dynafit Low-Tech metal inserts (DYN) directly injected into the toe and heel of the shell, allowing use with any type of technical pin touring binding (Tech Bindings), hybrid freerando bindings (such as Salomon Shift, Marker Duke PT) and compatible alpine bindings. In addition, its asymmetrically designed shell optimizes wall thickness in the areas subject to the greatest torsion to maximize acceleration out of turns.

C.A.S. (Custom Adaptive Shape) Shell and Liner with 99 mm Last

It features a precise 99 mm last in size 26.5, ideal for standard-volume or slightly narrow feet seeking a secure fit without sacrificing comfort. Its anatomical polyurethane (PU) shell features C.A.S. thermoformable cells, making workshop punching and adaptation easier for bootfitting. The Performance C.A.S. Liner is anatomically pre-shaped at the heel and ankles for a snug, play-free foot hold, incorporating lightweight, breathable materials for ascents.

GripWalk Soles and Lift-Lock Buckles

Equipped with factory-fitted GripWalk (GW) rubber soles with a curved profile, ensuring a natural, comfortable and non-slip stride on ice, rock or asphalt. The lightweight aluminum buckles feature the Lift-Lock mechanism, staying raised while the skier puts on or takes off the boots to speed up the process and prevent snagging.
