The Tecnica Mach1 LV 130 TD 21/22 is a precision-focused alpine ski boot aimed at experienced skiers with narrower feet. It’s built to channel your movements directly into the ski, giving a confident, controlled feel on groomed runs and varied terrain.
With a low-volume shell and a 98 mm last, this boot hugs the foot to minimise unwanted movement and enhance power transfer. Its flex rating of 130 means the cuff resists forward flex under high loads, so you get immediate response when you push into your turns. At 2050 g per boot (size 26.5), it balances enough weight for stability without feeling overly heavy underfoot.

The flex rating indicates how much force is needed to bend the boot forward; a 130 rating is quite stiff, suited to strong skiers who want precise edge control. The stated weight helps you understand how the boot will affect fatigue and swing weight during a day on the hill.
