Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of skiing are ROXA R3 series boots designed for?

  The R3 series is built for high-performance alpine skiing with a focus on lightweight freeride and all‑mountain use; models like the R3 130 TI IR are also suitable for backcountry freeride and mixed touring when paired with tech‑pin bindings. Their low weight and responsive Cabrio construction make them a strong choice for skiers who want downhill performance without excessive bulk on approaches.
• How does ROXA’s 3‑piece Cabrio construction change the way a boot skis and fits?

  The 3‑piece Cabrio shell separates shell, cuff, and tongue to create a progressive, smooth flex that’s both responsive and forgiving, while the wide tongue opening makes entry and exit easier. This architecture promotes even pressure distribution and predictable rebound, improving comfort and control across varied terrain.
• What makes the R3 130 TI IR stand out for freeride skiers?

  The R3 130 TI IR is an ultra‑light high‑performance option at about 1,580 g per boot, roughly 300 g lighter than many traditional freeride boots, which reduces fatigue on long tours and tight trees. With a 130 flex, 99 mm last, 15° forward lean and 45°+ range of motion, it balances stiff downhill power with enough mobility for technical terrain and variable snow.
• How customizable are ROXA boots for fit and foot shape?

  ROXA uses BIOFIT pre‑molded shell zones and 100% heat‑moldable liners (Ultralon or Intuition options) so the shell and liner can be tailored to your foot with localized heating and molding. Most adult models also offer adjustable buckles, an ergonomic cable system, and modular soles to refine fit, stance, and walkability to rider preference.
• How do Next Gen Cabrio boots compare to the R3 series if I want both downhill performance and touring ability?

  Next Gen Cabrio models emphasize all‑mountain versatility with added ankle hold, elasticity, and range for freeriding and longer tours, while the R3 line prioritizes minimal weight and race‑oriented downhill response (e.g., R3 130 TI IR). Many ROXA models across both lines feature ski‑hike cuff locks, tech‑pin compatibility, and modular GripWalk/Alpine sole options, so the choice usually comes down to whether you favor maximum lightness and stiffness (R3) or a bit more touring comfort and progressive flex (Next Gen Cabrio).
