2025 Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130 Boa Ski Boot

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130 BOA returns for its sophomore year as a one boot to do it all solution for the advanced to expert aggressive skier. Precise and powerful while skiing downhill, the Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA also offers a comfortable and efficient uphill climb. The Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA will shine no matter how you use it, whether you’re skiing daily lift service, skinning up the resort for a dawn patrol run, or venturing out into the backcountry on a longer mission.

Why we like it:

The Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA is the culmination of Atomic boot technology over the past few years. Combining their highly customizable shell, well-engineered liner, and BOA H+i1 alpine boot tech creates a unique and evolutionary boot.

Who it's for:

Skiers that will get the most out of the Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA are more aggressive and classify themselves as advanced or expert. As a hybrid boot, the Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA will find itself at home in any situation and any terrain, so skiers looking for one boot to do everything will benefit from its versatility.

Highlights:

Almost everything about the Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA could be considered a highlight. Atomic’s Prolite shell along with their True Flex PU keeps the boot light on the uphill while it’s responsive and energetic on the downhill. A GripWalk sole with Dynafit tech inserts allows for smooth and efficient travel, whether that means skinning a traverse or traversing the parking lot. Maybe the biggest highlight about the Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA is the fact that it is produced from size 22.5 all the way to 29.5, meaning women, men, and everyone in between have access to a powerful 130 flex boot.

Things to consider:

Unlike a lot of GripWalk boots, the Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA does not have a replaceable sole, so excess damage or wear from rough surfaces can mean an early end to the boot.

Fit & sizing considerations:

While still a snug low volume fit, the Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA fits a little more generously than its non-BOA, non-XTD counterpart. Mainly this change is over the instep, where plastic had to be reduced slightly to allow a better wrap for the BOA. The heel of the Hawx Ultra 130 XTD BOA still has that great Ultra family fit that gives the skier a snug connection to the boot.
