FUNCTION
HIGH BACK
Retro-Mod Highback
The outside has a symmetrical shape with a classic look. The asymmetrical structure on the inside follows the movement of the boot while providing resilience, improving torsion control during landing.
Super Tough Nylon
Medium flex material suitable for all-round use from low speed to high speed, beginner to expert.
Redux Lean Adjuster
Lighter due to smaller size. Easily adjustable with one action.
Micro Adjuster
If you move it forward one memory, it will lean forward approximately 2.5 degrees. More detailed high back settings are possible.
BASE PLATE
Super Ultima Baseplate
A new generation standard of FLUX equipped with a stabilizer that converts power transmission into repulsive force in order to make the most of the board's bounce.
Performance Blend
Medium flex for most all-round use. Compatible with all riding scenes.
Boost FootOn +
Boost FootOn tuned specifically for XF. The center part is made of soft material, and when you step on it, it naturally forms a concave shape, making it easier to squeeze the toe and heel. Of course, the surface is made of material that prevents snow from sticking.
Adjustable Toe & Heel Cushion
Movable cushion that allows adjustment of toe side and heel site to suit boot size and board width.
Responsive Stabilizer
A large stabilizer designed for the XF with emphasis on speed of reaction and power transmission. Using TPU material with high repulsion, it boasts high response performance while protecting the board.
Super Tough Nylon
Medium flex material suitable for all-round use from low speed to high speed, beginner to expert.
STRAP
Waffle Strap
A two-layer structure with a waffle cushion that provides a comfortable hold and ease of movement that you'll forget you're wearing it, and a Power Strap that transmits power directly.
Beer Buckle
A newly designed ratchet buckle that securely tightens until the last tightening. Comes with a bottle opener function so you don't have to worry about toasting.
FTM VER.5.0
In order to increase power transmission, the center line is made strong, and the upper and lower ends are made with increased flexibility for a better fit with boots.
L-Guide
Store the belt smoothly to avoid getting caught in the snow during toe-side turns.
OTHERS
UU Fit
A system that wraps the boots from 360° by attaching a strap belt between the heel cup and the high back. This provides a natural holding feeling and equalization of pressure.
Multi Disc
Multi-disc that can be installed on either 4x4 or 2H. It is also possible to install it by shifting it by 5mm or 10mm from front to back or from side to side.
Toolless Lever
The best settings can be made without tools. Comes with a stopper to prevent screws from loosening.
