Cabrio vs 4 buckle, one question....

[Josh Matta]

Is there a 4 buckle boot that out perform the Dalbello Kr2 pro in lateral stiffness, for and aft flex, and is easier to get off an on than the Kr2?

There are many that are stiffer, but they are not as easy to get off. My Head Raptors for example, check all the marks but when they are cold, they ain't coming off. But that is just once a day, I will wait the 10 minutes inside for the shell to warm up. The KR2 is also a more upright shell though than the Heads, you might mot be happy with that even though you didn't ask about stance.

yeah I know the Kr2 are upright my broken Kr2 had 2mm lift in the heel....

I thought Plake had something to do with the design. Now I believe he is with Roxa.

Unless Roxa = Dalbello

I’m really liking the new Dobermann/R9.3 the lateral stiffness is there still, but the newer plastics have a more dynamic fore/aft.

"Unless Roxa = Dalbello"

Different owners. Roxa is owned by the Rocca Group. Dalbello and Full Tilt are owned by Kohlberg & Co. I think Roxa makes some boots for Full Tilt---looks like lots of cross pollination there.

Kohlberg is the most recent owner of K2-MDV....K2, Marker, Dalbello, Volkl, Line, Full Tilt, and other brands.
