Tecnica Mach1 MV 130 TD

Tecnica’s Mach 1 seems to have been around since Moses was a lad, but over the years only the name’s remained the same along with the concept of a high-performance, all-mountain boot that you can wear all day, not just until you cross the finish line.

The latest iteration of the Mach1 uses a unique cuff set-up for better power transmission.

Most traditional alpine designs have a side hinge and a bolt or two at the base of the cuff, connecting it to the clog.

The T drive reverses this concept with a composite plate connecting the clog to the top of the cuff.

It’s schoolboy physics – lengthen a lever and you can create bigger outputs with less energy needed.

Because the plate is a super-strong composite, it reinforces the cuff and allows the use of softer plastics elsewhere, wrapping the foot more evenly.

The T drive and a more upright cuff makes this year’s model feel livelier and more responsive than previous versions.

The MV version has a 100mm last with spacious toe box and Tecnica’s trademark grindable CAS liner to tweak any minor fit issues.
