Some pics for now till I get proper weights etc

1290g is the touted weight for 26.5

Put questions here.

-liner any good?

-fixed the pivot cuff wear issue?

- toe box still fit lots of people?

Edit. Pics are from a friend. Getting sample next week and will put up more

Curious on this boot vs the Dynafit Ridge Pro for my next.

[auvgeek]

^^Same. Will also be curious how the Backland XTD stacks up.

My guess is the Ridge Pro will walk better but won’t ski like a 4 buckle overlap boot.

[Bamski]

You’ve both read my mind. Hoping one of these new crop of boots can offer me a bit better heel hold while accommodating my instep.

[Skeeze]

I’m curious about the cuff pivot, as it looks from the exterior like the Cochise cuff pivot, and those ones oval easily (I got about 50 days out of mine before they were completely shot).

Hopefully it’s just the exterior looks that are similar.

My main question is what did they skimp on to come up with the huge weight savings vs. the current iteration? Hopefully not the liner again. Guess I'll wait and see

[soupcan66]

Hopefully they didn’t change the fit too much. It’s always easier to make a small boot bigger than a big boot smaller.

These are 3D printed?

[Lord Thomas]

Generally interested in fit changes. Previous didn't quite work for me fit wise, hopin this one will

[Jason4]

I thought this was a mountain biking boot...what's the best clipless pedal option?

If this boot walks better than the Backland XTD I'll be shocked but that will be a good thing. My bet would be on a ROM closer to the Hawx XTD but with a weight lighter than the Backland XTD. If it actually hits 130 flex index then it's probably like a brick wall.

Got a pair of the new for 2024 -2025 Tecnica ZeroG Tour Pro to try out

ZGTP vs Backland XTD 120
ZGTP vs older ZGTP 120

[LeeLau]

Weights

The ZGTP in 26.5 bsl 303mm without optional spoilers or laces in liners comes in at 1310g.

Compare with 1422g for the Backland XTD 120, 1384g for the older ZGTP (Intuition liners)

[LeeLau]

More weight comps

An Intuition Protour is 283g. The stock ZGTP liner is 260g. A Dynafit Hoji ProTour liner is 240g.

The ZGTP Shell itself is 1058g

Good stuff, thanks LeeLau!! Curious to hear more once you get them out on snow!

Some notes re fit compared to the older boot and in isolation without yet cooking the liner

The toebox feels like the touted 99mm last. It is a polyamide so should hold a punch as well as the previous rev ZGTP. While it's not a narrow toebox it's not the cavern that is a Dynafit. I'd say it's a touch wider than the Atomic Hawx Ultra for example.

The ankle hold and the heel hold feel tighter and more clamped down than the previous rev ZGTP. It feels narrow enough that my flat foot and medium volume ankles may need a punch as well as a liner cook. Without yet having it on snow I'd suspect this will provide improved ski performance.

Noticeably there's a removable boot board which well help for fitting. It's not a cardboard facsimile of the previous rev which had a habit of breaking when removed.

The liner itself looks quite promising. It's got a supportive tongue and feels like it actually has substance, something that you'd find hard pressed to say about the previous rev ZGTP. The stock footbed isn't anything to shout home about but perhaps that's for weight considerations and easily replaced
