25/26 gear rumors thread

[DoubleBogey]

The CS is 96 and The Hawx is 98, is it just another Hawx with tech toes?

[bennymac]

You are gona BOA no mater what, no matter if you like it or not, in spite of this shitty half as non-presenation

cuz thats how we ski in 2025

When can we get BOA on our pole straps? I want to dial them in but be able to adjust mid-run.

Fits wider than 96mm. They may call it 96mm. But it is wider. Still going to make a good everyday performance boot.

It's an Amer product

[J. Barron DeJong]

As in just a rebadged existing product? Or new design but produced by Amer?

[onenerdykid]

No it's not.

The whole Van Deer thing is a head scratcher. Apparently our shop (Boyne Resort) brought in a pretty decent assortment of them and there is no wholesale pricing, we paid retail to sell at retail

[iriponsnow]

No it's not.

Youre making the WC boot, but not this?

[XavierD]

Gonna be honest, Amer especially atomic would be low on the list of companies I’d expect making VanDeer boots.

Hirscher skiing in very obviously rebadged Lange boots immediately after retiring probably didn’t sit that well.

He switched to an Atomic as did the rest of the squad this season.

I heard a rumor that van deer Red Bull is going to buy Salomon. No idea if true but the source is pretty plugged into the industry

seems very unlikely given the shoe business but i know how desperate Sally is for some WC results so maybe !?!

stock price is making some moves so…

[altacoup]

I think Red Bull was buying the ski part of Salomon and Salomon itself was just going to be a running shoe/clothing company.

We will be offering the lower flex models (120, 110, 105w and 95w) with a buckle cuff option. We will not offer the higher flex models with buckles as we can not get the same performance from buckles as we can boa. We do not want to offer our premium product in a configuration we know does not perform as well so we will not offer the buckle cuff in those options.

Hey Tom, interested in this new boot. I've currently got a krypton 130 ti and I'm looking for a big big 360 degree stiffness increase. The krypton is simply not enough to handle, me, my pack and my touring set up. I'm basically looking for a head raptor 140 with tech fittings. Might this new k2 boot fit the bill?

It should for sure. The raptor 140 was actually one of our baseline boots. That was the boot Sam used before joining K2 so that was one of the boots we targeted in terms of performance. We are confident we have met or even exceeded what that boot offers so hopefully it should work well for you.

We have no involvement with their boot program whatsoever.

[bamboocoreONLY]

only pivot 2.0's next year. There will now be an 11, 13, 15, and 18 DIN.

11 toepiece looks to be that of the pivot before the the wider version, 13 toepiece is the same as the current 12/14.

Sender free 100 should be making appearances in the next week or so, early release pairs are starting to go out this coming week.

Is there going to be a 130 brake released for the 2.0?
