Separate tightening system - 2 zones
The "habu®FitSystem dual-dial Focus™" configuration (produced by Boa® Technology) allows the rider to fully control the fit of the shoe in two distinct areas, to better control their board:
_ 1 dial for millimetre-precise adjustment at the bottom of the boot ensuring maximum control over foot support,
_ 1 dial that adjusts the top of the boot to the millimetre and allows you to customise the stiffness of your boot.
habu® Fit System (produced by Boa® technology)
The habu® fItsystem combines three important technical elements to transform the snowboard experience:
1) the innovative innovative wheel ensures micro-adjustment and precision,
2) the habu® cable is light, but very durable with 75 stainless steel strands.
3) low friction habu® guides ensure uniform pressure distribution whilst minimising wear and long lifespan.
How to repair the habu®FitSystem
Supplied by BOA Technology Inc, the habu® tightening system’s dials and laces have undergone thousands of hours of rigorous tests in the lab and in the field, and are guaranteed to make the boots last longer.

Boot flex/stiffness
The All Road 900 flex is rigid (8/10).
Compared to the All Road 500, it offers better board steering on hard slopes at full speed and is more robust on landing after big jumps.
The uncoupled clamping lets you:
- tighten more to make the boot stiffer (on-piste use, freeriding and freestyle jumps)
- tighten less to loosen the boot (less strenuous runs and playful freestyle: flat, jib).
Adding Flex Up
The Flex Up (8600870) enables you to make your boot more rigid on 2 out of 10 flexion points (with Flex Up, this new boot has a rigidity of approximately 10/10).
This is a plastic accessory which is inserted into the tongue of Decathlon snowboard boots produced from the 2022/23 season onwards. A pocket is provided so that it can be positioned correctly at the top and side.
The Flex Up makes sense over time: If your boot turns more limp, give it a second life.
Heel support: level 3 (/3) liner
Foot support is essential when snowboarding to steer your board (such as foot in the boot or liner in the boot). The level 2 liner has five advantages:
1. thermoformable liner from home
2. Ergonomic Heel Pad ankle foam
3. 2-point liner tightening + a strap on the shin
4. connection between the liner and the boot thanks to the fabric built into the boot
5. 3D insole to better fit the foot
1. Thermoforming the liner by yourself / WARNING
THERMOFORMING IS ONLY POSSIBLE IN BUILT-IN OVENS MEASURING 56 x 60 x 56 cm WITH A FAN MODE. DO NOT TRY ON A GAS OVEN OR A SMALL TABLE TOP OVEN WITH VISIBLE HEATING ELEMENTS.
1. Thermoforming the liner independently / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Heat your oven to 80°C, fan setting
2. Remove the inner soles from the liners, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper
3. Wait for 15 minutes
4. Put the inner soles back in, slip on the liners with a pair of ski or snowboard socks and tighten them (not too tightly).
5. Put on the boots on and tighten fully
6. Wait for 15 minutes standing still
This can be repeated if necessary.
2. Ergonomic Heel Pad ankle foam
The ankle bone padding fills the hollow under and behind the ankle to hold the heel firmly in place. The level 3/3 liner contains a foam made in an exclusive Dreamscape material and shape:
- the shape is based on an average of 40 foot scans. It is perfect for holding the foot tightly and adapts to everyone
- the material: a soft but firm elastomer foam.
You can feel the support as soon as you slip your feet inside. And when you ride, there are no hard points.
3. 2-point + strap liner tightening
On this liner, we kept just 2 points of tightening with the laces:
- at the instep,
- above the ankle bone.
At the top of the boot, we replaced the 3rd lacing point with a powerful tightening strap. We therefore reduced the friction of the laces (2 points instead of 3) and focused the tightening force to provide heel support. On the upper part, the strap locks the liner even more tightly to the shin.
4. between the liner and boot thanks to the fabric built into the shoe
The liner in the All Road 900 boots is surrounded by a textile layer, attached to the boot and tightened at two points. This concept spreads the tightening force evenly around the foot, for good foot stability in the boots.
This support system also prevents the liner from slipping inside the boots, in thin, to increase foot support.
5. 3D insole for a snug fit
The insole of this boot is 3 dimensional. This sole is pre-shaped at the heel and arch of the foot to help prevent the foot from moving inside the boot. It offers comfort and thermal insulation.
If you feel you need to maintain your foot more securely in the liner, there is another alternative: get a sole that can be thermoformed to suit your foot. This is the most effective solution.
Sole: grip, traction, cushioning and thermal insulation
Our Ultralight sole is 100% EVA foam.
EVA is a very light material with 80% air. This formulation is designed to resist abrasion while keeping its damping properties. It is naturally very insulating and protects against the cold rising from the ground.
We designed in large studs to offer you very good grip. Sufficiently far apart from each other, they help get rid of the snow.
How can I be sure it's the right size?
1. Put the boot on
2.Tighten the boot
3. Stand upright 4. Your big toes should just touch the tip of the boot without causing unpleasant pressure
5. Bend your legs forward, your big toes move backwards and no longer touch the end of the boot.
A word from the product manager
The 3rd version of the All Road 900 already.
We have kept its stiffness, which makes it the main feature, but we have also increased the support with two new features:
1. liner fastening thanks to the fabric built into the boot,
2. new lacing system with the Dual-Dial Focus Habu®.
Thank you very much for your opinions which allow us to improve our models for the pleasure of all of us.
