The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 120 CT GW 22/23 is a men’s freeride touring ski boot built for riders who need dependable downhill performance without carrying extra bulk on the uphill. It blends the downhill focus of a high-performance shell with a touring-friendly weight to keep things manageable on skin tracks.

This boot features a 98 mm low-volume fit that delivers a snug feel, helping you steer with precision on varied terrain. Its 120 flex rating offers a firm response underfoot, ensuring efficient power transfer whether you’re carving on groomers or navigating deeper snow. And at about 1644 g per boot (size 26–26.5), it keeps weight in check to reduce fatigue during climbs.

To break down the key specs: a 120 flex puts this boot firmly in the performance category, meaning it resists bending until you apply more force—good for aggressive turns and control at speed. The 98 mm last describes the internal shell width at the forefoot, suited to narrower feet for minimal heel lift and a direct connection. Clocking in at 1644 g per boot balances downhill stiffness with uphill efficiency, so you’re not weighed down on longer tours.
