About Dragon 120

About Dragon 120: The new Dragon 120 from Tecnica is the top of the line within the Dragon series. It offers the most performance, the most precision, sensitivity, skiibility, basically. It's the stiffest of the Dragon series. It has a 120 flex. Some of the features in this are our new 3-D molding technology, which is third generation. You can see you have two different plastics, the orange and the clear. The clear is the hardest plastic that creates the frame; the orange is the softest. And you can see that it's asymmetrical. On the inside you have a lot more clear material. That directs more power to the inside edge where you're putting in the sensitivity. Then you add the combination of clear and orange which creates a medium flex which is a combination of the two. And then over the instep is just the orange, and that is a very soft material, allows for easy entry and exit.

Dragon 120 - Extra Features

Dragon 120 - Extra Features: Other features of this boot are the carbon steel buckles, again, very thin profile, very easy to use, 5 times the strength of a tradition injected boot. A few other features to the 120, it features dual canting, so it allows the cant both to the inside and outside, through both. It has a very high grade liner that features leather interior, heel fit lock, sponge lining. It gives you a very secure performance fit. Velcro spoil that's removable or adjustable in height. Also on the boot we feature an AVS, anti vibration system, that takes out some of the shock while skiing. Fully replaceable toes and heels. Come from a size 22.5 to 31.0.

Dragon 120 - Lean and Height

Dragon 120 - Lean and Height: Another thing about the 120, or the whole Dragon series, is we've taken our race boot technology and we've taken the forward lean, and we've straightened it up a little bit for a little bit easier stance for all day skiing. And we've taken the whole height of the boot and raised the height of the boot to what our race boot is to allow for greater shin pressure distribution and energy transmission into the tip of the ski.

Dragon 120 - Liner

Dragon 120 – Liner: Over the last year our R&D team has done a lot of research into new materials and how those materials are put together and that’s seen throughout the whole Dragon line. This is the liner of the Dragon 120 that features an EVA heat-moldable and also a heat-moldable internal lining. The 120 features the heel fit-lock system, which the boot comes with inserts which customize the amount of heel pressure or heel hold you’re going to have. Also, the Velcro spoiler can adjust your forward lean and also you can position it differently for personal customization. If you look internally you can see the internal leather lining with the internal sponge. Again, the 120 liner offers a very precise fit, a performance fit with great foot security and sensitivity.

Dragon 120 - Ultra Flex Booster

Dragon 120 - Ultra Flex Booster: Also on the Dragon 120 and 110 we feature the Ultra Flex Booster system which there is a plastic elastamer here that allows for some elastic rebound and shock absorption. Another feature of this is that it’s height adjustable that you can have it in two different positions so it can go on different positions on the legs for personal customization.
