The Atomic Hawx Ultra 110 S is a high-performance boot designed for advanced skiers. It’s not the stiffest boot in the world, but by no means is it soft either. It has the perfect moderate flex for someone who is a bit lighter, someone who has a more conservative ski style, or someone who just prefers a medium flexing boot. The Hawx series from Atomic is one of the best-selling boot lines in the industry and there’s a reason for that. The Hawx Ultra series is the lower volume version featuring a 98-millimeter last designed for people with narrower feet or for skiers that want a performance-oriented fit. The Customizability of the liner in the Hawx Ultra 110 S is easy, hassle-free and repeatable, so you’ll earn some brownie points with the boot fitter should you need some work done to these before hitting the snow. People don’t often think about how a boot can influence their skiing and things like edge hold, but boots do have a lot of influence over things like that, which is why the Energy Backbone on the spine of these boots is great. It ensures stronger lateral power transmission which equates to stronger, more precise edge grip while carving. You can also alter the flex and forward lean of this boot to dial it in to your preferred specs. To make your life easier when walking around the parking lot, the lodge or the bar, these boots get equipped with GripWalk soles giving you a bit of a smoother, more fluid step as well as a heightened level of grip. Be sure to try on the Atomic Hawx Ultra 110 S GW if you’re looking for a boot with tons of performance and comfort.
