Why choose the Rossignol Hero World Cup 120 LV?
The Rossignol Hero World Cup 120 LV brings authentic World Cup-inspired technology into a boot that is accessible to a wider range of advanced skiers. It delivers exceptional precision, rapid energy transfer, and a narrow race fit that maximizes edge control and skiing performance.
Key advantages:
| For whom: | Men's/Unisex |
| Type of ski boots: | Race |
| Type of skier: | Racer |
| Ski boot flex index: | 90-120, 120-More |
| Boot Width: | 97 |
The canting is the same as for the Z series.
- External canting (pre-mounted): 0.5°
- External canting (in the box): 1°
- Fixed internal canting.
The top of the cuff has been redesigned with thicker walls. The axis of rotation is the same as the Z Series. The rear area has been reinforced to increase rear support and enhance the rebound.
The entire HERO WORLD CUP and HERO range features the DUAL CORE technology. The process involves three injection points on the shell and two on the cuff. This technology can be used to accurately finetune the progressive flex, rear support and rebound. It also allows for highly effective lateral power transfer.
97 mm last:
- The internal last is closer to the foot at the instep. The angle is near 45° by moving back 1.5 mm, and lowering by 1 mm on the top of the foot
- The heel pocket is deeper to ensure better support
- The sole length is reduced by 3 mm to 303 mm
(for size 26.5).
This improves precision, power transfer and foot interaction.
OPTIONAL - for making the HERO boots more comfortable to walk in - 3 mm Vibram
This insert creates a strong link between the shell and cuff in this hinge area for improved power transfer. Two options are available for adjusting the flex according to the skier’s morphology and proficiency level, or the temperature and snow conditions. - Carbon insert (pre-mounted): extremely hard - 53 SHD PU insert (in the box): soft.
The walls of the shell are thicker to bring them closer to those of the Z Series. The lower part of the shell has been strengthened, and the new design delivers greater torsional rigidity.
