Can you do boot comparison videos. It’s almost impossible to see reviews comparing technica v Lange v Fischer v scarpa… fit, performance, function, durability, features
You're right! The only thing worth mentioning is that the default is 14 degrees, and you can get it up to 16 with the spoiler provided by Tecnica. However, compared to last year's model, the forward lean from the walk mode is not adjustable.
I find the Liner OK except for the stiff-ish tongue, which instantly gives me shin pain. Stiff compared to most alpine liners and also Intiutions, so bit of an outlier. All the other fit changes play out quite well for me (I have a mediu/narrow foot if that makes sense, can ski most 97/98 alpines with some 6th toe punch)
I agree, maybe this guy wears his running shoes crazy large? I wear an 11.5 running shoe and while I'm not the most aggressive downsizer, a 26.5 mondo ski boot would give me permanent foot damage.
Doug is a bit of a maniac with his ski boots and likes to aggressively downsize, so he has been using the 26.5 mondo size. That being said, his is in the process of replacing his prototype Tour Pro with a production model in a 27.5 mondo. But we would concur that downsizing that much is going to destroy most people's feet!
@@cripplecreekbackcountry6800 I figured. Just so out of the norm - by two whole sizes - so strange to throw out those numbers so casually without any disclaimer.
Hey John, thanks for reaching out! Both of those boots will drive the Deathwish Tour. It will really come down to fit and which one latched onto your foot better. The Zero G has a little bit more room in the instep and the Quattro has a low instep. Feel free to hit me up at info@cripplecreekbc.com if you have any other questions!
Hey! The Zero G Pro is much stiffer than the Atomic XTD Carbon 120 or the Fischer TransAlp Carbon Pro, and skis way harder. The boot articulation is a bit less on the Zero G boots. Feel free to hit me up at info@cripplecreekbc.com if you have any other questions!
The Intuition Pro Tour Low Volume or the Tour Wrap liner would be a great replacement to take up some space in the calf. Feel free to hit me up at info@cripplecreekbc.com if you have any other questions!
The previous generation of Tour Pros was surprisingly durable. We didn't see any issues with cracked plastic or the toe lugs, and we've only seen the wire buckles fail after extreme use/abuse. The new generation has thinned the plastic a bit, but they are using the same construction as the Zero-G Peak line, which has now been in use for several years without us seeing unexpected failures. Overall, for a boot this light, we'd say it's extremely durable.
How does it compare to the Quattro? ROM, fit, flex?

We have a couple videos like this in the works!
You didn't mention that the forward lean is more aggressive. Previous years 12-13 degrees and new version is up to 16 degrees.

How are the cuff rivets on the new ones compared to the previous? My last two pairs were completely flogged out and loose
Wait what?! 26.5 and an 11 running shoe? That doesn’t compute. You mean 26.5 mondo? I must be missing something.

How well could this boot ski a 184 Deathwish Tour (112, 1750g)? Should I look at the quattro pro instead?

got any reccomendations for liners that tour but also add more bulk to the calf for this?

How durable are these, particularly those loop buckles and the, presumably, thin plastic shell & toe lugs?
