THE MINDBENDER 130 BOA 2026
Best of both worlds -- high performance touring and complete comfort
The Mindbender 130 BOA® gives you the best of both worlds — high-performance touring capability, and the micro adjustability of a custom-fitted boot. Outfitted with a Powerlite Shell and Walk Mode, the Mindbender 130 BOA® maintains its burly freeride boot identity, with all the tech of piste specific boots.
Details
Fit: MultiFIT Last: 97 - 100mm – The MultiFit Last was developed in conjunction with the BOA® Fit System to accommodate a variety of foot shapes ranging from 97mm to 100mm eliminating the need for multiple last option (LV, MV).
FastFIT Instep – Softer TPU material is used in the instep area of select models' shells for quick and easy entry and exit.
Flex: 130 – A very stiff flex for advanced to expert skiers.
Liner: PowerFit Pro Tour Liner – Pre-molded and lasted with Ultralon heat-moldable foam. Featuring stiffer foam and a stiff, asymmetric tongue for added power and energy transmission, pre-molded ankle pockets, and a high-density power collar. Includes a tour notch at the back of the ankle for increased comfort and range of motion while hiking and skinning.
Shell Materials: Shell – Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU), Cuff – TPU
PowerLite Shell – The shell is purpose-built to result in the best skiing, lightest weight boots ever produced. Made with four different stiffnesses of TPU and optimized wall thickness profiling, the Powerlite Shell achieves a paradoxical balance of lightweight agility and power. The resulting boots weigh in as some of the lightest alpine and freeride on the market, yet they ski with all the power and drive of heavier boots.
Fully Heat-Moldable – Both the boot's shell and cuff are capable of being heat molded to a variety of foot shapes for a truly custom fit.
Ski/Walk Mode: Powerlock Spyne – Rugged, precise and intuitive. The Powerlock Spyne walk mechanism allows for 50 degree range of motion when hiking and an unforgiving, powerful connection while skiing. The mechanism can also be adjusted to customize the forward lean of the boot between 10-17°.
Friction Free Cuff Pivot – An easy hinging cuff pivot designed to provide minimal resistance while in walk mode.
Buckles: BOA® Fit System – The BOA® Fit System provides a performance fit engineered to enhance feel and responsiveness while reducing pressure points by incrementally modulating the Alpine boot closure with precise micro-adjustments.
H+i1 DIAL – Provides micro-adjustable, precision fit and quick release, with quality and durability guaranteed.
2 Light Alloy Top Buckles
Power Strap: Elastic Cam Strap - One Piece – Increases performance and responsiveness by cinching tighter than a traditional power strap resulting in exceptional power transmission and precise handling.
Bootboard & Footbed: Modular Honeycomb Bootboard with Soft & Hard Inserts – Stay Warmer, Longer. Traps heat and insulates like a down jacket. Retains heat 15% better than traditional boot board. Boot-fitter friendly.
Sole: GripWalk ISO 23223 Outsoles – Removable and interchangeable rockered soles designed to work with GripWalk binding systems for better grip and comfort while walking, standing, and hiking.
Additional Features: Integrated Tech Fittings – Tech fittings in the toe and heel are fully integrated into the shell injection, allowing for compatibility with both tech and DIN bindings.
