I am looking at true NNN boots to use with the Åsnes Mountain Race 48 skis. I have found two that I like, the Rossignol XC5 OT and the Alfa Horizon Perform 2.0 GTX.

They are both the same weight but the Rossignol with its hinged cuff looks like it is more supportive but without trying the Alfa I can not tell for sure.

Has anyone skied the Alfa and did it have enough torsional residence and ankle support to be a good match for the Åsnes Mountain Race 48 skis?

My wife has the rossi xc5 ot and i have the 6's which we use for our track skis, Madshus Fjelltech M50's. My boot is stiffer torsionally compared to her's and quite good compared to my older solomon sns boots. I like them and they're light but they don't have the torsional rigidity of my smallest backcountry leather boot a Crispi Norland Hook BC. NNN is the choice on my ski because i can click the binding for and aft over my fixed skins. If i could get a stiffer, leather NNN boot I would.
