The Bold 120 returns this season with some cool upgrades—completely revised Intuition liner, midsole grip and rad, new electric lime color—all of which added up to a more appealing package for testers.

The Roxa Bold 120 test results were still something of a split decision this year—some testers loved the upright stance and solid feel on snow while others had issues with an inconsistent fit. Though testers liked the improvements that the Intuition liner brought, many commented that the toebox and heel were both quite tight, though the fit in between lacked a snug feel. Testers suggested heat molding with toecaps to better even out the fit tension throughout.

 All testers agreed that the tipped-out stance angle of the cuff loaded a lot of power (and inside edge bias) to the ski, which made the Bold a ripper on smooth groomers.

Testers liked the Bold 120's side to side predictability but didn't characterize it as lightning quick—a reliable ride with adequate support for all-mountain ventures at a heck of a price was the takeaway.
