X Max Race is a new series that might be more accurately named X-Racer Max, for it aims at a skier with race-level skills who isn’t inclined to ski a pure race boot, in other words, an ex-racer. The PU/PA shell of the X Max Race 130 and 120 are narrower, livelier and noticeably stiffer than the corresponding flexes in the regular X Max series of 98mm-lasted shells.
