The Tecnica Mach1 130 HV 19/20 is a performance-oriented alpine ski boot designed for skiers who need a roomier fit without sacrificing power transmission. It combines Tecnica’s Mach1 platform with a high-volume shell to balance comfort and precision on groomed runs and challenging terrain.
With a 103 mm last and a high-volume shell profile, this boot eases pressure on the forefoot and instep, reducing hotspots during long days on the mountain. The stiff flex rating of 130 delivers firm response underfoot, giving you direct feedback and control when you carve hard or charge through variable snow – traits appreciated by advanced skiers seeking both comfort and performance.
In ski boots, the last refers to the shell’s width across the forefoot; at 103 mm, it’s wider than average and suits broader feet or those who prefer extra room. The flex rating measures how resistant the boot is to forward bending – a 130 rating is on the stiffer end, translating to precise energy transfer. High-volume shells offer extra internal space, reducing tight spots without compromising overall boot stiffness.
