BOA® on ski boots? Yep, you read that right. It’s the biggest advancement in skiing, let alone boot fitting in sixty years. You’ve seen this feature on snowboard boots, bike shoes, and even running shoes, so it’s about time we put our heads together with the minds at BOA® Fit System to bring something new to skiing, with a laser focus on performance.
Harnessing the power of a BOA® Fit System, K2 engineers got to work delivering our most adjustable fit with performance-enhancing features. The Recon 120 BOA® boots boast a redesigned lower cuff, with an all-new shell, delivering a tighter toe seal.
Say goodbye to all your boot-fitting woes, with the new Recon 120 BOA® . Its redesigned shell delivers a better “wrap,” and a more even pressure distribution across the foot. Gone are traditional pain hotspots caused by overtightened buckles, the Recon 120 BOA® boots are outfitted with a micro-adjustable fit, even pressure distribution and an unmatched heel hold.
We’ve named this all-new boot last our MultiFit™️ last, ranging from 97mm -104mm. Fitting a wide range of feet right out of the box and eliminating the need for both a “Low Volume” and “Mid Volume” fit.
There’s so much tech inside the Recon 120, it’s hard to know where to start. A heat-moldable liner provides the perfect balance between comfort and support. We’ve integrated internal and external J-Bars to ensure proper heel hold and made the toebox seamless, making the fitting process smooth as silk.
Building on the success of boot board technology, we’ve added customizable heel inserts to be able to fine-tune the feel. The boot board inside the Recon 120 BOA® comes with a rigid and responsive heel insert, and this boot also ships with a softer, damper, Harshmellow™️ insert for more impact absorption.
The leader in performance ski boots just got upped a notch. Get your eyes on (and your feet in) the new Recon 120 BOA®, and be a part of the next wave of ski technology.
TECHNOLOGY
BOA® FIT SYSTEM:
The BOA® Fit System, provides a performance fit engineered to enhance feel, and responsiveness while reducing pressure points by incrementally modulating the Alpine boot closure with precise micro-adjustments.
H+I1 DIAL:
Provides micro-adjustable, precision fit and quick release, with quality and durability guaranteed. The BOA dial platform features a breakaway design engineered to eject the dial cartridge upon severe impact without damaging the system, allowing skiers to pop the dial back into the bayonet midmountain. In the unlikely event that the system is broken, it can be easily repaired and replaced.
BOA® FIT SYSTEM: DIALED IN:
Precision fit with on-the-fly tightening and loosening for enhanced responsiveness, optimized pressure distribution, and reduced pressure points.
BOA® FIT SYSTEM: LOCKED IN:
Connected fit designed to uniformly wrap the foot and minimize downward pressure, increasing heel lock-down for improved power and edge-to-edge control.
BOA® FIT SYSTEM: CONFIDENT:
Engineered for confidence and built to withstand rugged terrain and inclement weather, BOA® dials and laces deliver extreme durability. Bayonet and cartridge system ensures continued operation, even after heavy impacts.
MULTIFIT™ LAST:
The MultiFit™ Last was developed in conjunction with the BOA® Fit System to accommodate a variety of foot shapes ranging from 97mm to 100mm out of the box (and up to 104MM* with heat molding).
PRECISIONFIT PRO:
Pre-molded and Lasted with Ultralon heat moldable foams. Features an asymmetric tongue, pre molded ankle pockets and a high density power collar for a firm but comfortable performance fit.
GRIP WALK OUTSOLES:
Removable and interchangeable ISO 23223 alpine rockered soles collaboratively designed to work with Marker’s Grip Walk binding system for better grip and added comfort when walking and standing in boots, but doesn’t compromise the power transmission and release function between the boot and binding when skiing. Preinstalled.
HONEYCOMB BOOT BOARD:
Stay Warmer, Longer. Traps heat and insulates like a down jacket. Retains heat 15% better than traditional boot board. Boot-fitter friendly
FASTFIT INSTEP:
Softer TPU material is used in the instep area of select models' shells for quick and easy entry and exit.
POWERLITE SHELL:
K2's highest-performance shell design, utilizing shell walls of varying thicknesses and four different types of TPU to provide the ultimate combination of light weight and responsiveness.
POWERFUSE SPYNE:
A rear co-injected “Y” shaped support that adds strength and power to the Energy Interlock in order to maximize fore/aft flex efficiency and lateral stiffness for responsiveness in every type of terrain.
ENERGY INTERLOCK:
A rivet-free technology that integrates the cuff and shell, putting less stress on the boot’s material and produces a smoother, progressive flex.
FULLY HEAT-MOLDABLE:
Both the boot's shell and cuff are capable of being heat-molded to a variety of foot shapes for a true custom fit.
BOOSTER CAM STRAP:
Feel locked in like never before -- the Booster Cam Strap increases performance and responsiveness by cinching tighter than a traditional power strap resulting in exceptional power transmission and precise handling.
MICRO-ADJUST BUCKLES:
Dial in the fit of your boot by spinning the buckle clockwise, (tighten) or counterclockwise (loosen) for the perfect fit.
HARSHMELLOW™ INSERT:
Soft or rigid inserts in the heel of all the boots with BOA® fit system allow the rider to customize the feel, and responsiveness depending on personal preference; softer insert (blue) for extra damping, or a more rigid insert (grey) for improved power transfer.
