Skiing magazine:
"Scarpa's workhorse keeps getting sturdier. Last season, it got a fourth buckle, dual-density plastic, a wraparound inner frame, and flatter soles for quick turn initiation. This year it gets heat-moldable Intuition liners. The result? Testers loved the generous cuff height, easy angulation, and 'touchy-feely' character."
Backcountry (Sept.07):"Last year the redesigned
T1 was a test hit for several reasons. First, Scarpa removed
the rocker on both the T1 and the Race. Translation: Energy is
immediately propelled into the ski as soon as you even think
about bending your knee. It also makes for easy alpine turns,
because your heel is constantly, and squarely on the heel piece
when you're not in the tele position. The flip side is, with
a flat sole, this boot is not nearly the scrambler is used to
be. Still, it's got a solid walk mode and with today's free-pivot
touring bindings, who needs rocker? And with the new Intuition
liner this year, Scarpa has the best liner on the market, period."
