Hans Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Suzuka's and Indy's will also come with the new buckle system. Track 700 and custom 1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonerider Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Sweet... anyone know if they have made the boot lighter. I've just seen AT boots and they weigh like half as much. I assume it's because they use lighter plastics (that's just my guess as I don't know much about the boot construction). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 The new ones with the thermo liners are way lighter than the old ones. My old Raichles weighed a ton. The Tracks are featherweights in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucible Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yeah, AT boots are almost half the weight of some alpine carving hardboots. AT boots use lighter plastics, and also use much lighter liner boots, with less plastic cuff padding. Buckles and BTS devices also add to the weight.

Derf Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Wow, nice boots! Maybe the time to change my Furnace will come a little faster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Day Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Are you going to be carrying these boots next season? Hopefully I'll be able to check them out at next years SES:)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 If the Track 700 is essentially an Indy with buckles, what's a Custom 1000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Day Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hey Mike, I haven't seen these boots yet, and I can't read what it says on the side of the boot in the picture...but I was assuming that the Track 700 would be the replacement for the Suzukas and the Custom 1000 would replace the Indys. But that is just my uneducated 2 cent worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 My uneducated guess was that the Track 700 was an Indy since the old name for the Indy was... AF700. But I hope you are right, because it sure would be nice to have the choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

185er Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmit !!!!! I just bought a new pair of Indy , red one (still in the box) Those white one are S E X Y ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yep, we had these at the SES this year for people to check out. They will be available next season and we will be selling them. They have the new style buckles but they do not come with a factory RAB mechanism. This boot (Track 700) could pretty much be considered the replacement for this years Indy's as it is an AF based shell. More information when they are in next Fall!

trailertrash Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 fin, send me the first pair of 24's you get in stock. i am sick of the ratchet buckles of the indys. ive replaced 3 ankle buckles and im working on a fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipstar Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 SO will the buckle set be for sale as well so we can upgrade our lousy indy buckles to these nice new ones? I suppose if I go to NZ I can figure out something using spare parts from other boots,but would be nice if there is just the spare parts available straight from you guys...

Gecko Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 as much as I would love to replace all the buckles on my boots the only ones that I truely need to replace are the ankle ones cause it just sucks trying to get repeatability with the ratchets there. Shins and toes are easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleb Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I wouldn't sell them until I actually get to try the Deeluxe on and they turned out to fit better. The UPZs are working great for me but occassionally I'm still getting hot spots in random places on my foot. I heard that Deeluxe fit like gloves for most people so I'd give it a whirl. I love the stiffness of the UPZ and overall they're great boots after the liner situation is worked out. Also, when it gets all chopped up, I end up riding alot in walk mode to make it easier for myself. From the recent thread about powder mode, I stopped doing that. I wish there was a way to put the BTS on UPZs. As far as customizing the boot, I bet you can get the retailer to order it for you. Do they actually sell boots to consumers directly from the distributor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hans. I beleave I know the answer to the custom 1000 question but was hoping to hear some thing else. I really can't disclose intil next fall.. Thank you. Geb, What model UPZ do you have? Most UPZ boots have a adjustable spring system much like the BTS only smaller built right in. With some wrenching it is very adjustable? I am just courious, thanks. "As far as customizing the boot, I bet you can get the retailer to order it for you. Do they actually sell boots to consumers directly from the distributor?" Here in the US bomber is the distributor. I (Hardbooter.com) am the retailer..... and we both sell boots. I am really hoping the custom 1000 will be avalable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have the RSV. The nuts are rounded off so I wasn't sure how to adjust it. I've always looked at it and thought that maybe they had something to adjust it with. By distributor I ment from their factory. i bet you'll be able to order the custom. It wont be cheap though. I've never heard of a boot so customizable. Ski boots have that too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 A great improvement to be sure! and customizable snowboard boots... sweet deal (as long as you can get em, anyway). The buckles work great, by the way, for those who havnt experienced them yet. the only problem Ive found is that the strap the buckles are on can get caught under the plastic of the boot if you try to tighten them too fast (buckling farther than the 2nd tooth directly from an unbuckled position). micro-adjustability really makes a difference, and I can put em on much faster than my softboot buddies. theyre also extremely light, sometimes I forget I have on hardboots! Now if theyd only add a power strap:freak3: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
