R3 130 TI - I.R.
At 1520 grams, the R3 130 TI - I.R. is one of the lightest high performance alpine ski boot ever offered. The 130 is geared for big mountain chargers who may use “Tech” and/or Alpine bindings and often hike or skin to find their lines. Full Grilamid, Next Gen 3-Piece Cabrio construction provides the absolute best strength-to-weight ratio for unparalleled performance in a light weight and low mass boot. The 130 is suspension tuned with a Dynamic Response Insert (DRI) for a firmer hard charging flex. 100% heat moldable I.R. (Intuition/Roxa) Freeride tongue or wrap (option) liners are incredibly lightweight and comfortable and provide exceptional warmth and shock absorption.

Flex Index
Ski Boot Fitting
- 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+. 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’ 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.
- Roxa’s proprietary ‘Biofit CM’ last provides premolded relief in the most common fit “issue” areas: ankle, navicular, 1st metatarsal, and the ‘6th toe’. Boots with the Biofit Shell can also be molded in most conventional boot ovens to provide additional volume up to 2mm.
Ski Boot Fitting
Alpine Touring, A/T, or Randonnée
- Our Touring boots will typically be made with lighter materials. They will also generally have a ‘Walk’ mode in the rear of the boot, allowing the cuff to release for a greater range and ease of motion. Our Touring boots will be compatible with bindings designed for Alpine Touring (A/T) and equipped with ‘Tech’ Inserts. Also, permitting the boots are equipped with Alpine or Grip Walk soles, they will be compatible with most contemporary Alpine DIN Bindings. Both A/T bindings and Alpine DIN bindings must be installed, adjusted, and function tested by a certified binding technician.
