The 2026 Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 130 BOA GW merges the power of an alpine boot with the mobility of a touring boot, offering a versatile solution for aggressive freeride skiers. Featuring the BOA® Fit System and a medium-volume 100mm last, this boot delivers a precise fit and responsive performance across varied lift access and backcountry terrain.

Why we like it:

The integration of the BOA® Fit System provides micro-adjustable precision, enhancing both comfort and control. Combined with the Free/Lock 4.5 ski/walk mechanism, it offers seamless transitions between uphill mobility and downhill stability.

Who it's for:

Ideal for advanced to expert skiers with medium-volume feet seeking a high-performance boot that excels in both resort and backcountry settings.

Highlights:

The 2026 Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 130 BOA GW is packed with performance-driven features. Its BOA® Fit System allows for quick, on-the-fly adjustments to dial in a secure, customized fit, while the Free/Lock 4.5 ski/walk mechanism delivers 54 degrees of cuff rotation for efficient uphill mobility and locks in solidly for powerful descents. The Mimic Platinum liner is heat-moldable, conforming precisely to the skier’s foot for enhanced comfort and control. Atomic’s Prolite construction keeps the boot lightweight without compromising strength, and the GripWalk® soles improve walking comfort and grip on mixed terrain.

Things to consider:

While the 130 flex rating offers exceptional power and responsiveness, it may be too stiff for lighter weight skiers and/or skiers who prefer a more forgiving boot.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Designed with a 100mm last, the Hawx Prime XTD 130 BOA GW accommodates medium-width feet. The heat-moldable shell and liner allow for further customization to achieve an optimal fit.
