Dalbello Sports Cabrio MV 120 IF - 2026 Grey/Black, 26.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""If you’re mixing lift laps with sidecountry or short tours, this boot hits a sweet spot. The 120 flex feels strong and responsive on the descent, but the revised Ski-Walk mechanism and HIKE PRO liner make climbing way more comfortable than a traditional alpine boot. I’ve noticed the heel hold is especially solid thanks to Dynalink, and the Cabrio flex stays smooth even when you’re pushing it in variable snow."" When we head beyond the ropes and chase untouched lines, the Cabrio MV 120 IF gives us the confidence to climb efficiently and descend with authority. Built by Dalbello for freetourers who refuse to compromise, this boot pairs a powerful 120 flex with a versatile 101mm Medium Volume fit that balances comfort and precision for long days in the mountains. At the heart of the design is Dalbello’s Progressive Cabrio Construction, delivering even flex, smooth damping, and stable lateral and heel support when conditions get unpredictable. The IF HIKE PRO MV liner combines mobility for the ascent with firm heel retention for the descent, featuring PuRE technology for efficient power transmission and an AUTOFIT tongue that molds comfortably to the shin. A Pebax tongue simplifies step-in and eliminates the need to remove it in hike mode, while the updated Cabrio Ski-Walk mechanism ensures smooth transitions between climbing and skiing. Technical details like Dynalink + Dynalock closure, micro-adjustable buckles, a 50mm POWER BAND, customizable boot board, and adjustable forward lean allow us to fine-tune fit and stance. GripWalk soles improve traction on rocky approaches and provide compatibility with GripWalk and touring bindings, making this boot a true crossover performer for freeride-focused days with touring ambition."
