Quantum Asolo Factory Ski Boots 2022

About the Dalbello Quantum Asolo Factory

The Quantum collection is designed around the form factor of being lightweight to boost uphill efficiency whilst still providing the performance to blast down any run on the mountain.

The Quantum Asolo Factory only weighs in at 950g, which is due to the boots bonded shell construction. The innovative technique of a bonded shell construction is made by combining to shell halves together, which are made out of an ultra-stiff polyamide with carbon fiber. As a result, you have an extremely lightweight boot without compromising stiffness, with a great progressive flex pattern through the boot.

In order to help uphill efficiency further the Quantum has a host of Dalbello's touring technology. The use of the dual-link cuff increases the range of motion massively in comparison to Dalbello's other ski boots with a hike mode. The front half of the cuff lays down meaning the only resistance felt to movement is the flex resistance of the liner, which is hardly any. Furthermore, you may notice the lack of toothed buckles on the Quantum. Instead the boot is secured by Dalbello's version of the BOA system (mainly found in snowboarding boots) which is called the 'Quick Lacing System" (QLS). This system allows a more precise fitting and lacing adjustment with a more uniform pressure across the foot. For added grip, the Quantum uses a Vibram dual-density sole with stiffer components at the binding connections for added durability. Due to the advanced touring sole means the boot is only compatible with pin binding setups such as the Marker Kingpin.

This boot has a fair number of new concepts to make this boot the ultimate touring set up, with a huge range of motion in the hike mode and extremely lightweight construction makes it close to a hiking boot as you can get. But due to the technology used, this boot will also be exceptional charging down off-piste runs.
