The Salomon X Pro 120 is a downhill ski boot built for skiers who want a blend of precision and comfort on groomed runs and variable terrain. Its design aims to deliver direct power transfer from your leg to the ski while still allowing for a comfortable fit over a full day on the slopes.
With a flex rating of 120, these boots offer a firm but manageable stiffness that helps translate your movements into quick, responsive turns. The mid-volume shell accommodates a wide range of foot shapes, giving you a secure feel without pinching.
