Scarpa Maestrale XT

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 XT

  The Speed Lock XT ski/walk mechanism is easy to open and close, even with gloves, thanks to the lever with integrated pull tab. The system is supported by Friction Free technology, which does not require a connecting element between the shell and the shaft, allowing smooth movement in walk mode.

• BOOSTER™ POWER STRAP

  Dynamic and elastic, can be closed super tight, which extremely increases the performance and protection in the shin area. Incl. 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.

• BI-INJECTION OVERLAP CUFF

  Specially designed to enhance downhill performance while maintaining mobility while touring.

• ZEPPA

  The new zeppa XT is located under the foot between the shell and the inner shoe offers an "alpine oriented" fit and feel to the shoe. The specific shape and thickness change the ramp angle of 2 ° forward compared to the Maestrale RS. This increases the precision of the shoe and allows a more direct transmission of impulses to the skis.

• 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.

• BOOSTER

  The dynamic, elastic strap can be closed super tight, which increases the performance extremely. The Booster Strap also provides cushioning that protects the shin from impacts during ultra-fast descents.

• 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.
