Nordica: Men's SpeedMachine 120 Ski Boots

If you race in serious competition, you need a ski boot with FIS-approved features. If you're like the other 95 to 98% of skiers out there, you only need the performance features that combine appropriate flex with a comfortable fit. For the guys who push the envelope, the Nordica SpeedMachine 120 is the optimal choice. It's a supportive boot design that enhances energy transmission for superb performance. Nordica designed their SpeedMachine line to combine expert-level precision with comfort that feels good throughout the day. When you consider the 120 flex rating (Nordica's max is 150 for the racing boots) the SpeedMachine 120 is probably everything any performance-oriented advanced skier could require outside of serious racing. The SpeedMachine 120 offers most of the same features found on Nordica's ultra-stiff SpeedMachine 130 ski boot, although you don't enjoy the extra 10-mm. on the Velcro top strap or racing-rigid flex rating. What you do get is the same bi-injected boot design with soft pliable plastic throughout comfort areas and rigid material where energy transfer is critical to precision edge hold. The narrower Velcro strap (it attaches to the rear cuff) also has a progressive flex that you can adjust to meet your needs. No matter how you fit the strap, you still get that cool active rebound that sets it apart from other Velcro strap closures. This boot also has a heat-ready liner that accepts most of the boot heating systems currently available on the market. While it's certainly not the cheapest ski boot you'll find on the mountain, you get a lot of exceptional performance from the SpeedMachine 120--a factor that can make all the difference on big mountain vacations, and especially at the finish line.
