Description of Head Skis USA Raptor 120 RS Ski Boot - Men's:
Head’s Raptor 120 RS Ski Boot is the prime predator up on the mountain. This race boot has a 120-flex index that won’t wimp out on you when things get critical at high speeds. The aggressive, race-inspired stance encourages cheek-flapping velocities and ninja-like carves, and the tight 98mm last ensures precision feel and power transmission. Head gave this burly boot double canting adjustment so you can dial them to suit your anatomy, be it knock-kneed or bowlegged.
Very forward-leaning. Yes, you can adjust it, but know it is an agressive downhill stance, and walking or bootpacking in them is interesting. Also, the fit of the Raptor is true to size, so if you downsize your shell be careful; my instep gets crunched hard. Overall a great boot for race-inspired skiing and turns, on powder, mank or groomers.
