Test: Dalbello Quantum Free Asolo Factory 130

Skiability of a freeride boot, lightweight of a touring boot.

There are boots for which the classification within the limits of a certain segment is narrow and the new Quantum Asolo Factory is one of them. Born for free touring, in the broadest interpretation of the term, it ensures top-level downhill performance, reminiscent of a freeride shell, enclosed within a structure with a weight similar to touring boots. The dual soul of this project is the result of the adoption of latest generation materials and the Bonded Shell construction capable of guaranteeing lightweight, solidity and reliability, whatever the type of snow and slope to be tackled. The two-piece Dual Link cuff ensures a 65° range of motion in walk mode. The double hook closure system, combined with the Power Strap, keeps the foot firmly in place when tackling the descent helping to correctly distribute the pressure exerted on the tongue. Another positive note concerns the comfort: the new IF Touring Pro liner with high-density padding ensures an agile and intuitive fit without compressing the foot. This type of boot is aimed at very demanding skiers who do not want to compromise when it comes to performance, both uphill and downhill, and to mountain professionals who need a reliable and comfortable boot even if worn for many hours of the day.
