The Viper 8 is built for easy to control performance. Taking its shape and fit from the all new Viper series the Viper 8 gives a tight, precision, performance fit in a boot trimmed for intermediate to casual advanced skiers. Due to overall fit of the Viper 8 it is also very suitable for aggressive advanced skiers that are simply lightweight. The Viper 8 follows the current trend in ski boots, borrowing from Dalbello's race series, using True Balance Stance. TBS is a system of choosing all the stance, foot, and leg angles to give a centered and balanced feel for optimal response with modern ski shapes both cambered and rockered. When paired with a 90 flex shell and cuff this system makes the Viper 8 a very accessible performance boot. To help with the overall fit the Viper 8 is stripped down to a few key pieces. Four microadjustable buckles dial in the pressure through out the foot, shaft alignment make sure the leg fits properly in line , and an adjustable height cuff spoiler fine tunes the calf fit. While these all tweak the Viper 8 the majority of it's versatile fit come from the Contour 4 fit concept, focusing in on the four major problem areas in ski boots, the nevicular, the heel pocket, the 5th metatarsal, and the midfoot, through foot mapping and proper shaping of the inner shell. This is then filled in with the Trufit Sport liner, to offer a good cushioned feel but remain reasonably responsive, because all this technology serves no purpose if the liner is mush. At a scant 100mm wide the Viper 8 is a roomy toed, incredibly versatile boot.
