Scarpa Maestrale RS

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• WEB FRAME CARBON DESIGN

  The shaft of the Maestrale XT is designed to improve downhill performance while not compromising mobility for ski touring. The close fit improves impulse transfer to the skis.

• BI-INJECTION SHELL

  The Bi-Injection expertise combines high-performance materials such as Grilamid® and carbon in one and the same part. The result is a shell with incredible performance through stiffness and torsional rigidity in the heel and foot.

• Speed Lock Plus

  Allows easy opening and closing. Thanks to the spring, which improves the lever function.

• POWER STRAP PLUS

  The Velcro® strap closure encloses the shin area in the best possible way without providing much extra weight. Contains RECCO®.

• THOR RACK XT

  Buckle and ring made of aluminum - very light and user-friendly.

• THOR BUCKLE

  Robust and at the same time lightweight magnesium alloy buckle.

• WAVE CLOSURE SYSTEM

  The Wave Closure system was developed exclusively by SCARPA and offers the performance and support of two buckles, without adding weight, with only one buckle closure.

• HRS SYSTEM

  Thanks to the HRS tension buckle, the heel counter became a SCARPA® trademark. The construction ensures both touring comfort and downhill performance.

• THOR CUFF RS

  The newly developed cuff realizes a simple and clean design with differentiated reinforcement areas that provide important support while limiting weight. Designed to accommodate the new ski / walk mechanism Speed Lock XT. With the new Grilamid BIO, a new plastic that is part of the complete Greenline polyamide line of Ems-Grivory.

• Inner shoe

  Cross Fit Pro flx Performance are Intuition Foam thermoformable liner with anatomical tongue construction and an elastic strap on the instep. Special heel inserts keep the ankle in place when skiing or touring.

• Vibram

  SCARPA relies on the high quality soles of Vibram® for its touring ski products, which are conceived and designed by specialists in collaboration between SCARPA and Vibram®. Thanks to selected compositions, the best possible performance and high grip are achieved, particularly suitable for activities in the snow. SCARPA by Vibram® stands for top performance, guaranteed grip and durability in all conditions.

• INTUITION

  Intuition has over twenty years of experience and today manufactures hundreds of thousands of boot liners for the most important brands in the world. The products are worn by skiers, snowboarders, guides and instructors. Intuition liners offer the highest levels of thermal protection and lightweight performance, ensuring the highest technological standards for thermoformable liners. The exclusive thermoformable materials guarantee a durable fit.

• Recco

  RECCO® technology is used by SCARPA in ski mountaineering and telemark boots. The rescue system makes it possible for professional rescuers to find victims in the event of an avalanche accident. The technology was developed by Magnus Granhed in cooperation with Stockholm's Royal Institute of Technology and launched in 1983. SCARPA was the first company to integrate the RECCO® system into its products. It proved to be a very effective solution and has since been used by a wide network of ski resorts, heliskiing operations, parks and search and rescue organizations in Europe, Japan North and South America. RECCO® technology provides pinpoint location of a victim through the use of harmonic radar. The two-part system consists of a RECCO® detector, used by professional rescuers, and RECCO® reflectors, which are integrated into clothing, helmets, protective gear and footwear. It is important to take responsibility and precautions to be best prepared in extreme situations.

• Axial Alpine

  The Axial Alpine EVO marks a new standard in alpine touring ski boots. Comfort on the ascent and performance on the descent. Together with the "EVO Tongue" system guarantees the best performance.

• Pebax

  Designed for use in extreme conditions. Pebax® is a premium performance material that has been used in winter sports equipment for years. It offers a unique combination of high-performance properties: lasting flexibility even at low temperatures, high cold impact resistance and excellent energy return properties. The elastomers are 20% lighter than conventional materials. They incorporate a rigid polyamide 12 block with a soft, hydrophobic polyether chain, closing the gap between thermoplastics and rubber. Pebax® is the best choice when it comes to high-performance applications in the sports sector.

• Carbon grilamid

  Carbon Grilamid LFT® is a poyamide reinforced with carbon fibers that improves the elongation resistance properties and increases the strength of Grilamid® without increasing the density. This allows a reduction in the thickness of the shell and shaft. The result is a lightweight product with high impact resistance and excellent performance.

• Grilamid

  This special polyamide offers a good compromise between stiffness and setback and allows excellent transfer of impulses from the boot to the ski.
