The Gist

The Orange Crush from Tecnica keeps charging ahead with the new and burly Firebird R 140. Edged for top of field by a mere two-hundredths, testers called this the flamethrower of Frontside boots--it’s edge power and stability score was the highest of the entire test. Testers used words like latex glove, contained and holy $&!# it’s tight to describe the fit tension of this 96 mm, but they loved it for that grip on the foot and leg and subsequent transmission of movement to the ski.
