I just received a pair of these in a 26.5. Each boot is 260 grams lighter than my pre-2024 boot in the same size. They seem to fit the same, but I have yet to thermofit them.

The tech fitting and duck butt positions are such that they will put the boot center mark in the same exact spot, with the reduction in sole length being from the duck butt back (that was tested on the Meidjo and on the Outlaw X). NO WORRIES on relative location on old mount. If you mounted boot center on recommended on the old Tx Pro, it's still there.

Forward lean can still be adjusted.

The thing I disliked - intensely! - about the old boot was the #2 buckle from the bottom. Big improvement here. The idiot who engineered that was brought out of retirement to mess up the power strap! That is a new thing for me to hate. Overly involved compared to the old strap and harder to get the leverage to get the strap as tight. I'll probably be trading the old strap onto the new boot.

Measuring inside the boot, the height on both to the top of the back is 27cm and to the top of the side is 23cm. Interior length is shorter (one and a half fingers vs 2 for boot sizing in the same 26.5 size.


Surprisingly, the inserts are the same length as the previous version.
Also, I just thermofitted them down at REI. I forgot to have them put the "toe cap" in for this. In the past, when I thermofitted Intuition liners, this was required, as the material expanded around my toes. With these, that toe cap is not required. I guess the expandable material no longer extends into the toe area, which is a nice change!

I’m excited to get my new Tx Pros on snow! I’m pairing with the Transit and just switched to the soft springs to give them a try. Mainly will be using the setup in backcountry.

So far I really like the boots. Better heel hold, love the ski walk mech and the range of motion. The flex feels smooth to me and the stiff cuff should help tighten my stance up. Time will tell once snow gets here.

I'm thinking this as well.

Just had my 28’s liners baked, noticeable improvement in comfort and fit. They felt good when I tried them on, much better after baking.

One boot weighs in at 1626 grams, the other at 1634. They’re about 300 grams lighter than my Garmont Synergy- very noticeable.

Putting the boot on was easy, I’ve never had a plastic boot this easy to get into. No contorting required.

Saw Tom M’s video of him walking on a treadmill so I jumped on the wife’s exercise bike. Walk mode was easy, ski mode a bit tougher.

Walked some stairs, the range of motion was great, loosening off the power strap and top buckle made it considerably easier.

Just for laughs I swung a leg over the Triumph to check for dexterity. If I had any crazy impulse to ride the bike to go skiing operation of the brake super easy. I can shift but I’d have to adjust the shifter arm a little. Anything is possible in my world.

I’m already liking the flexibility of the bellows and stiffer cuff. Very curious to see how they work out touring-wise.

Raining right now…low cloud cover…snows coming…

I've done 2 sessions on the treadmill, 4 miles in total. The first with the tags on just in case I needed to return them, but it didn't take me very long to determine that these were keepers. I popped in my well packed T2 Eco liners to get an idea of how the new boots would feel after some use. Both boots are 27.5 Mondo and the liners are similar enough in size that I can lighten my T2's up a bit by using the new liners in them as well. There is not a big savings in weight, the TX Pro liner weighs 278 grams per boot and my T2 eco liner weighs 305. The power strap on the new TX Pro boot weighs 89 grams, so you can lighten the TX Pros up a bit more for backcountry use if you are so inclined. My 27.5 TX Pros weigh 3246 grams (7.16 lbs). I have a video in the que for Friday (10/25) with my carpet and treadmill test.
