Tecnica’s engineers consulted with a round-table of boot-fitters who hold a combined 100-plus years of experience and then brought those ideas and solutions to our boot-makers in Italy. The result is an improved medium volume fit that is specially engineered to ski anywhere and everywhere, regardless of conditions. New for this year’s 100mm lasted Mach 1, is the launch of T-Drive Technology. T-Drive is a cuff-to-shell interface that fundamentally changes how a ski boot’s performance is defined. The T-Drive connects the upper cuff and lower shell in a ground breaking approach which is entirely focused on prioritizing enghance, efficient and consistent flex. The boot feels surprisingly comfortable out-of-the-box, thanks to the newly redesigned anatomically shaped liner and shell. If needed, you can add personal customization with Tecnica’s C.A.S. system to solve any additional fit problems. Demanding skiers will appreciate the Asymmetrical Power Transmission shell, which significantly improves energy transfer. Mach1 has always stood for performance with great fit, and this all new MV version is “what’s next” for Tecnica.
C.A.S. SHELL
|
|
The C.A.S. Shell has an anatomical shape that matches the shape of the foot. This allows for a better out-of-the box initial fit. The dimples on the shell offer less surface tension and facilitate heating, making customizing the shell easier. The shell retains the new shape better and longer.
SHELL FEATURES
- Anatomic and precise shape
- Easier and faster thermo-forming
- Easy customization
SHELL CUSTOMIZATION
- PUNCHING (INCREASE VOLUME)

C.A.S. has revolutionized ski boots with regards to fit and personalization. The liners are anatomically shaped for optimal comfort and offer great heel hold. The internal part of the liner is shaped to match the foot while the exterior matches and conforms to the shape of the shell. The dual density micro-cell material is durable and easy to customize. The C.A.S. liners are less prone to pack-out maintaining the fit over a longer period of time.
LINER FEATURES
- Anatomic and precise shape
- Dual density pre-shaped thermoformed microcell material
- Great out-of-the box fit
- Enhanced sensitivity
LINER CUSTOMIZATION
- THERMO-SHAPING
Liner in the oven: 80°C-176°F / 8 minutes.
- PUNCHING (INCREASE VOLUME)
Microcell material can be heated and punched in problem fit areas.
- GRINDING (INCREASE VOLUME)
Microcell material is easily grindable up to 2 mm in problem fit areas.
- FIT KIT (DECREASE VOLUME)
Glue the C.A.S. Fit Kit pre-shaped pieces to decrease the volume of the liner.

T-DRIVE

DRIVE PRECISION
The T-Drive dynamic carbon connector creates a longer lever arm compared to traditional ski boots. This allows:
- Quicker edge to edge transitions.
- Increased lateral power and stability.
- Edge drive precision.
PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY
The T-Drive Technology creates a stronger and more effective connection between the cuff and the shell, that supports the boot flex and avoids plastic deformation. This means reduced energy dissipation and a more efficient power transmission.
ENHANCED COMFORT
Comfort comes from many places in the new Mach1 MV. The T-Drive technology provides a progressive flex regardless of temperatures, keeping the shape unchanged and a more consistent fit. The T-Drive support also allows the use of softer plastics, without compromising performances but making the boots easier to get on and off.

QR will provide a precise description of all the materials used in the production of the specific ski-boot, allowing a more precise and consistent regeneration of those materials.
This will result in better quality and more possibility to reuse in new ski-boots production.
