TX COMP (NOUVEAU)

This is the boot we have all been dreaming of. Stiff, powerful, light and walks like a dream. The bellows match the stiffness of the cuff like peanut butter and jelly. This boot will drive the biggest of skis, let you drop as big of cliffs as you can muster and go literally wherever you can dream up. Warm, comfortable and oozing with performance.

This is the nicest boot I’ve put on my foot, period. It definitely has less volume than the older gen TX Pro and T1 which is perfect for me. I was always swimming in those boots. This boot is super stiff. I was worried it might be too much for me, but the bellows broke in super nicely. Now I feel like the bellows are perfect while also having a ton of stiffness in the rest of the boot, 10/10. Jumping, landing, and going fast af with this boot on is an absolute treat. All that said, there are some issues that I’ve heard the new TX Pro and Comp both have that absolutely should’ve been fixed in R&D, especially considering this boot is $1000. We'll start with the small problem and work up. I wish there was a side to side canting option, oh well, not a huge deal. The thing that really peeves me is the ski mode catch and the lever. You can adjust where the lever sits to adjust your forward lean. Cool in theory, but if you adjust from the stock position, the lever will slip right out of the catch with almost no force. In the non stock positions, I can flex my foot in the boot and the lever will slide right out of the catch thus putting me in walk mode. Mind you, this is with my foot off the ground, so I’m not even loading the boot with body weight. Not cool. With how good the ROM is in walk mode, if this happens while skiing you’re gonna eat s***. And with how baller these boots are otherwise, I can tell you it’s going to be a high speed crash. I will also note that the lever has…

Just picked up a pair from a local Canadian distributor. Looking forward to trying them out after the long anticipated wait. Previously owned the TX-Pro's (Orange and Black) and they were starting to fall apart after a decade + of use, previously had the T-Race in 75 mm. With the new boot launch I originally almost went for the new TX-Pro's but they were a lot softer than previous gen, so I was relieved that they launched the stiffer comp this year which is more comparable to the previous TX-Pro / T-Race if you drive big skis and are an aggressive tele skier.

My only gripe thus far is the colour! Wish they were so generic looking for the stiffer model, think they got it backwards for the TX-Pro vs Comp, like the red a lot more for a stiffer more serious boot (like old T-Race's for years)
