Designed for demanding male skiers looking to fully harness the mountain’s potential, the Lange CODE 130 BOA MV GW is aimed at freeriders and advanced skiers seeking direct power transfer on all snow conditions. With a flex rating of 130, it falls into the category of high-stiffness ski boots, designed for skiers capable of dynamic and aggressive skiing. Its medium-volume 100 mm fit offers a balance between precise support and adaptability to different foot shapes, while all of its technologies work together toward a single goal: responsiveness and control on the descent.

An expert flex and medium-volume fit calibrated for performance

The Lange CODE 130 BOA MV GW’s 130 flex clearly positions this boot in the advanced performance category. A high flex rating means a stiffer shell, which immediately transfers the skier’s momentum to the ski without absorbing energy during flex. This level of stiffness is suitable for technical skiers capable of maintaining continuous pressure on the front of the ski, whether carving aggressively or on varied terrain. The 100 mm last, corresponding to the MV (medium volume) profile, is designed for standard-sized feet: it provides sufficient support for effective lateral stability without compressing wider feet or allowing excessive play for narrower feet. Bootfitters often consider this fit the ideal starting point for fine-tuning customization.

Precise tightening and easy entry thanks to the BOA system

The lacing system for this ski boot combines two traditional buckles with the BOA Fit H+i1 system positioned on the lower shell. The BOA system allows for precise micro-adjustment of support at the metatarsal and ankle areas in just a few seconds—even while wearing gloves. This mechanism prevents localized pressure points that traditional buckles alone can cause and ensures consistent tightness from one session to the next. The 50-mm power strap completes the system by stabilizing the top of the cuff for optimal power transfer to the ski. The Lange CODE 130 BOA MV GW also features a walking mechanism offering 53 degrees of range of motion, made smooth by Friction Free Hinge technology, which facilitates movement between runs.

Thermal Comfort and Liner Customization

The Core Custom 1 liner is designed to adapt to the specific shape of each foot. It features three high-density foams that allow for customization through thermoforming—a process best performed by an experienced bootfitter to maximize contact between the foot and the shell. The Reactive Boost tongue helps improve flex responsiveness by returning compression energy to the shin. PrimaLoft insulation, integrated into the liner, ensures warmth on cold days without significantly adding weight to the boot. The polyether shell and Lyfran collar contribute to structural rigidity while maintaining a certain degree of tolerance to low temperatures.

GripWalk Sole and Binding Compatibility

The GripWalk sole (ISO 23223 standard) features rubber zones at the front and rear of this alpine ski boot, significantly improving traction on slippery surfaces when walking. This sole is compatible with modern alpine bindings designed to accommodate the GripWalk profile, as well as with insert-style bindings (tech pins), offering significant versatility for skiers who also enjoy ski touring or challenging freeride terrain.

The Lange CODE 130 BOA MV GW is a ski boot designed for advanced to expert male skiers who ski on challenging groomed runs or in freeride terrain and want gear that combines power transfer, customizable liner fit, and everyday practicality. Its 130 flex and 100 mm last make it a technical boot whose full potential is realized after being customized by a bootfitter.
