Intro
Alla terza stagione sul mercato, il progetto Zero G è maturo e rappresenta uno dei riferimenti nel segmento più prestazionale della categoria. The Peak differs from the Carbon only in the materials, which here include a co-injected cuff and shell, whereas the Zero G Peak Carbon has a lot of composite carbon in the cuff. The rest of the spec is totally identical to its sibling, except for the weight where it comes in at a few grams less.
Walking
Excellent, swift and responsive in walk mode: there’s heaps of freedom, making this a best-in-class for the category. But not excessively so, as it provides just the right degree of support to help tackle more technical sections. When sidehilling, those with weaker ankles still have the option to close the buckles and leave the ski/walk lever open on more tiring sections. The liner padding covers the ankle bone well, while the toe welt is a little on the small side, a fact noticeable when bootpacking up small features.
Lab
You wouldn't describe it as particularly technical judging by the fit which is relaxed, modern and above-average quality for the category. Very easy to get on and off by tilting back the cuff. The fit is best-in-category in terms of striking a balance between performance and comfort. The word compromise can be misleading: clearly this is a boot meant for demanding skiers, which can be compared to the F1 lineup, but is more accessible and just as cool.
Skiing
Edge hold is decisive, a fact probably aided by the composite shank in the sole, but the feel is just as positive when piling on the power or if you get into the backseat, where it provides great support. You might be forgiven for wondering what the real difference is between this model and the Zero G Peak Carbon. The differences are hardly noticeable unless they're driven more powerfully or by burlier skiers, when you perceive the pleasantly progressive flex, lack of voids, and absence of tendency to collapse forward. We’d also see this as a good pairing for slightly wider and heavier skis. The liner foam is firm yet also quite elastic and generous, the instep is firmly held. The heel though might require thermoforming to ensure it’s more precisely seated.
