2025 Dalbello Cabrio LV 100 3DWrap

With its medium 100 flex, the LV 100 Cabrio is the softest men’s boot in the LV Cabrio range and is aimed at all freeride and mountain enthusiasts who want comfort and easy handling with outstanding downhill performance. The rider has direct contact with the boot via the 3 Density Wrap SPORT (3DWrap) liner, which consists of three different hard layers and ensures comfort and an optimum fit while ensuring efficient force transmission to the shell. The Dalbello Cabrio platform with its 3-piece design allows progressive, responsive flex, harmonious damping and stable lateral and heel support for greater control during the descent. The heel is further supported by a 45-degree buckle at the pivot point as part of the revised Dynalock closure system. A buckle design also simplifies handling of the LV 100 Cabrio, and the movable, ergonomically improved tongue makes getting in and out easier.

FEATURES

TONGUE MATERIAL

PU

DYNALINK + DYNALOCK:

The Dynalink is fixed coaxially to the pivot so the buckle really works with a 45° angle and the heel is held back more efficiently. Moreover, the buckle has an articulated tail that engages the base of the lever (Dynalock) and only disarms when you try to open the buckle

CABRIO KINETIC TONGUE:

The geometry of the ribs has been engineered to provide an incredibly progressive and reactive forward flex

CUSTOMIZABLE BOOT BOARD:

The boot board has small holes with depth markings. This feature allows boot fitter to grind precisely and adjust the stance both frontally and laterally

MICRO-ADJUSTABLE BUCKLES:

Permits skiers to precisely “fine tune” buckle closure tension for a more exact fit. With micro adjustment, you can twist the buckle to make it longer or shorter.

FORWARD LEAN CONTROL:

FORWARD LEAN control wedges may inserted at boot rear between lower shell and cuff to change forward inclination angle.

ADJUSTABLE REAR CUFF SPOILER:

Modular rear boot cuff spoiler adapts the boot cuff to a variety of lower leg shapes. Spoiler Permits skiers to increase rear cuff height to add rearward support and change forward lean

PROGRESSIVE CABRIO CONSTRUCTION:

Dalbello's unique Cabrio construction combines a boot shell/boot cuff assembly with an external Kinetic Response Tongue closure which enables a smoother and progressive power transmission same as great shock absorption. Together these features provide great versatilty and better adaptability on different kind of snow and uneven terrain.

GRIPWALK PREMOUNTED:

Better walking comfort and more grip - that's the big benefit of this boot mounted with GripWalk soles! These new soles are compatible with GripWalk specific bindings (marked with the GripWalk icon) without any height adjustment and can also be skied with touring bindings (ISO 13992). They are not compatible with regular alpine bindings (ISO norm 9462).

Flex Index

• Flex Index is how much effort or work is required to move the cuff of the ski boot forward while the lower shell is stationary; typically retained by the binding. This number can be anything from 50 or 60 to 130+ (or even 1 - 10). There is no standard for this number across the ski boot industry and the ‘Flex Index’ is not based on any metric like newton-meters, foot-pounds, or Pascals. Even within within any given manufacture’s line-up, a boot with a Flex Index of 110 might not be the same as another boot with the same rating. The main thing to remember is that the higher the number, the stiffer the boot. The Flex Index should only be used as just one general factor in choosing a ski boot. 
• Your style of skiing, experience, level of skiing, terrain, use, height, mass, and personal preference all play a role in helping you pick the stiffness of your boot. A World Cup racer or an advanced/expert skier that prefers making precision turns at high speeds requiring techniques using a lot of tip pressure might need a stiffer boot. On the other hand, someone who hits the slopes every weekend with her family or Patrols three days a week might prefer a more moderate flex. 

Last

• ‘Last’ is a metric that describes the width of your foot at its widest point, which is typically at the forefoot or the ball of your foot. This will be represented in millimeters: i.e: 102mm. This is a critical consideration, because going up a size in a boot will move the widest part of the boot forward while the widest part of your foot will be kept reward. As you can gather, going up a size is not an option.

Alpine

• Our Alpine ski boots are designed for maximum control and performance for downhill alpine skiing. These boots will be not be optimal for touring/skinning as the cuff is typically fixed, keeping you in a natural ski position. These boots are designed to work with any Alpine DIN binding. Alpine DIN bindings must be installed, adjusted, and function tested by a certified binding technician.

*If you’re unsure if your boots and bindings are compatible, please have a qualified technician give them a tactile and visual inspection.
