The Atomic Hawx Prime 130 Professional GW is a high-performance alpine ski boot aimed at experienced skiers who want precise control and strong edge hold. Its design focuses on delivering a responsive ride without compromising on fit, making it suitable for hard-charging days on groomers or challenging terrain.
With a flex rating of 130, this boot offers a firm, responsive feel that translates rider input directly into ski movement—ideal for carving clean arcs at speed. The 100 mm last provides a balanced medium-width fit, combining support with a touch of room where you need it. Its mid-volume construction further balances snug performance around the instep and forefoot with enough spaciousness to keep toes comfortable over long days on the hill.

Weighing in at around 1,962 g per boot (size 26.5), it strikes a balance between durability and manageable swing weight underfoot.
