The brand that invented the plastic ski boot in 1965 has always been at the feet of the greatest skiers and was one of the first to test the boots in the wind tunnel, because every detail is important for victory, even the color . The famous Lange blue is a bit like red in motoring, synonymous with challenges to the last cent. Blue in particular is the color that distinguishes Lange's racing model, the legendary RS, even if it wasn't always like this. After playing the card of phosphorescent colors, especially the yellow and orange one worn by Alberto Tomba, the brand has switched to blue since 1996. The choice of colors was intimately linked to the graphic identity of Barilla, sponsor of the champion from Bologna. The blue of the packaging of the pasta brand colored the Lange boots, which have become the indispensable ingredient for victory. And starting this season, the tone of RS changes, new blue, new blood. New blue, new blood. In 2022 Lange churns out a midnight blue with a special depth, which has its roots in the colors of the boots worn by Alberto Tomba on the occasion of his latest victory and alone expresses the concentrate of technologies that constitutes the soul of the new RS range. In fact, even the launch of a new color has undergone research and development work to ensure that, based on the color of the product, the temperatures and quality of the snow do not have an impact on its characteristics. THE TECHNOLOGY OF RS The hi-tech heart of RS is called Dual Core. In 2016, Lange's team of engineers and bootfitters conceived this revolutionary technology, a co-injection process of plastics with different flexibility and stiffness that allow the boot to have a more dynamic rebound. In particular, the injection of plastic materials with different stiffnesses through three points on the shell of the boot and two others on the cuff allows for extremely precise and strategic modulation of the flex and rear support, which are soft in some areas and stiffer in others. other. The energy created thus develops explosive power, response and elasticity. For victory. The shoe of French champion Clément Noël (and Federica Brignone) is Lange World Cup RS, with a 92 mm plant width. But you don't necessarily have to wear the model for elite athletes. The entire RS line exploits the know-how of the World Cup to make it available to the best skiers and is available with flex indexes of 140, 130, 120, 110 and plant width 97 mm (LV) and 100 mm (MV). The Junior Short Cuff version provides plastic flex indexes from 120 to 70. World Cup RS 140 costs 650 euros, for the RS 110 model it goes down to 475 euros.
