The standard by which expert freeride boots are judge by for many, the Tecnica Mach1 MV 130 Ski Boots are on a roll which won't stop any time soon. Already one of the stiffer 130s on the market, the Mach1 benefitted from the addition of Tecnica's T.Drive carbon rear spine two seasons ago and the boot remains largely unchanged except for the move to GripWalk soles. For those of you who think the current crop of 130 boots is suffering from "flex index inflation," check out the Mach 1 MV 130 and see what you've been missing.
