Separate clamping system - 2 zones
The "habu®FitSystem dual-dial Focus™" configuration (produced by Boa® Technology) allows the rider to fully control the shoe's adjustment in two distinct zones, to better pilot his board:
_ 1 knob that serves to the millimeter the bottom of the shoe ensuring maximum control over foot support,
_ 1 knob that serves to the millimeter the top of the shoe and allows customization of the shoe's stiffness.
habu® Fit System (produced by Boa® technology)
The habu®FitSystem combines three important technical elements to transform the experience of snowboarders:
1) the innovative habu® knob ensures micro-adjustable and precise tightening,
2) the habu® cable is lightweight, yet highly resistant with its 75 stainless steel strands.
3) the habu® low-friction lacing guides ensure even pressure distribution while minimizing wear and guaranteeing long life.
How do I repair the habu®FitSystem?
Supplied by BOA Technology Inc, the knurls and laces of the habu® adjustment system have undergone thousands of hours of rigorous laboratory and field testing, and are guaranteed for the life of the boot on which they are integrated.

Shoe flexibility and rigidity
The flex of the All Road 900 is rigid (8/10).
Compared to the All Road 500, this will enable you to steer your board better on hard tracks at full speed, but also to be more solid when landing big jumps.
The dissociated tightening will enable you to:
- tighten more to stiffen the boot (for track use, freeride or freestyle jumps)
- tighten less to soften the boot (for quiet track use or to play freestyle: flat, jib).
Flex Up added
The Flex Up (8600870), allows you to stiffen your boot by about 2 flex points out of 10 (with the flex up, this new boot has a stiffness of about 10/10).
This is a plastic accessory that is inserted into the tongue of Decathlon snowboard boots, from the 2022/23 season onwards. A pocket is provided to ensure that it is correctly positioned both vertically and laterally.
Flex Up comes into its own over time: if your boot becomes softer, give it a second life.
Heel support: liner level 3(/3)
Foot support is an essential element in snowboarding for good board control (whether it's the foot in the liner or the liner in the boot). The level 2 liner offers 5 advantages:
1. liner can be thermoformed from home
2. Ergonomic Heel Pad foam
3. 2-point liner tightening + a strap on the shin
4. liner and boot are linked by a textile web attached to the boot
5. 3D insole for a better fit.
1. Thermoforming the liner independently / CHECK POINTS
THERMOFORMING IS APPLICABLE ONLY ON ELECTRIC FURNACES WITH HEAT ROLLING MODE 56 x 60 x 56 cm. DO NOT USE WITH A GAS OVEN OR A SMALL AUXILIARY OVEN WITH VISIBLE ELECTRIC RESISTANCE.
1. Independent liner thermoforming / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Heat your oven to 80°C, fan oven
2. Remove the inner soles of the slippers and place them on an oven tray lined with baking paper
3. Wait 15 min
4. Put the liners back on, slip on the booties with a pair of ski-snowboard socks and tighten them (not too tightly)
5. Put on boots and pull tight
6. Wait 15 minutes in static
This operation can be repeated if necessary.
2. Ergonomic Heel Pad malleolar foam
Malleolar foams fill the anatomical hollow below and behind the malleolus to cradle the heel. The level 3 liner features an exclusive foam shape and material:
- the shape is based on an average of 40 foot scans. It's perfect for cradling the foot and adapts to all
- the material: elastomeric foam, soft and firm at the same time.
Simply slip it on and you'll feel the support. And when you wrinkle, there's no hard spot.
3. 2-point liner tightening + strap
On this liner, we have retained only 2 lace tightening points:
- at the instep,
- above the malleolus.
On the top of the liner, we have replaced the 3rd lacing point with a powerful tightening strap. This reduces lace friction (2 points instead of 3) and concentrates clamping force on heel support. On the upper part of the shoe, the strap locks the shoe even tighter to the shin.
4. connection between liner and shoe by means of a textile web attached to the shoe
The liner of the All Road 900 boot is encased in a textile webbing that is attached to the boot and tightened at 2 points. This concept distributes the tightening force evenly around the foot, ensuring good stability of the foot in the boot.
This support system also prevents any movement of the liner in the boot, and ultimately increases foot support.
5. 3D insole for a better fit
This shoe has a 3D insole. The insole is pre-shaped at the heel and arch to limit foot movement in the liner. It provides comfort and thermal insulation.
To increase the foot's cushioning in the liner, but only if you feel you need it, there's an alternative: buy a thermo-formable insole for your foot. This is the most effective solution.
Sole: grip, cushioning and thermal insulation
Our Ultralight sole is made exclusively of EVA. EVA is a very light material with 80% air. This formulation is designed to resist abrasion while retaining its cushioning properties. It is naturally highly insulating and protects against the cold coming up from the ground. We've designed large studs for excellent grip. The studs are spaced far enough apart to facilitate snow evacuation.
How can I be sure it's the right size?
1. Put on the shoe
2. Tighten the shoe
3. Stand up
4. Your big toes touch the tip of the shoe without any uncomfortable pressure
5. Bend your legs forward, your big toes move backwards and no longer touch the tip of the shoe.
A word from the product manager
3rd version of this All Road 900, already.
We've kept its stiffness, which we like and which is its main feature, but we've further improved the fit thanks to 2 new features:
1. liner tightening thanks to a textile webbing integral with the shoe,
2. new lace tightening system with Dual-Dial Focus Habu®.
Many thanks for your opinions, which enable us to improve our models for everyone's riding pleasure.
