Description
The Hawx Prime 110 BOA is Atomic's mid-price boot in the Prime BOA range: a medium-volume all-mountain shell on a 100 mm last at flex 110, closed by a single BOA dial on the lower shell, with two aluminum cuff buckles above. It carries the last, flex and lower-shell closure of the pricier 110 S BOA for about $40 less, trading away that boot's adjustable lean and stepping from a Gold liner down to a Mimic Silver one. A foot that runs narrow or wide wants a sibling instead — the 98 mm Hawx Ultra or the 102 mm Hawx Magna. Shell and liner both heat-mold, so the fit is finished at the bench, not out of the box.
Reach for it if your foot is a true medium with a heel that likes to be held, and if you ski at an advancing to advanced level and lean on the cuff. Skip it if you are starting out or want a gentler, more forgiving flex, if you need a wider or narrower shell, if you want to set your own forward lean — the S model does that with three positions, this one is fixed at 15 degrees — or if you want a dial on the cuff too, which is the 110 Dual BOA. There is no walk mode.
The BOA dial drives the lower shell only; two cuff buckles plus a strap still close the top, so the closure is a BOA lower with buckles above — neither a full-BOA boot nor a three-buckle one. Underneath sits a GripWalk (ISO 23223) grip sole, which rules out a plain alpine binding — have a technician match it to a GripWalk or MNC setup and set the release. Fair warning: the on-snow write-ups we found cover the S models and other Prime boots, not this exact 110 BOA, so treat the feel notes as platform-level. We heat-mold both shell and liner and size you off the shell, not your street shoe.

Atomic Hawx Prime 110 BOA
Hawx Prime family · 26/27BOA
Flex 110
StiffLast Width
100mm— Medium (100–101mm)
Atomic's Hawx Prime 110 BOA is the mid-price rung in the Hawx Prime BOA range: a 110-flex boot on the 100 mm medium last, closing its lower shell with a BOA dial while two aluminum cuff buckles hold the cuff. The shell is Memory Fit and fully heat-moldable, and the Mimic Silver liner molds too. It sells for $790. Read the name closely — this is the plain 110 BOA, not the dearer 110 S BOA and not the 110 Dual BOA, which are separate boots with their own specs.
On fit, the Hawx Prime 110 BOA sits in the middle of Atomic's ladder — the Ultra runs a narrow 98 mm, the Magna a wide 102 mm, and the Prime a medium 100 mm. A professional bootfitter reads the Prime BOA shape as snug through the heel and ankle with a medium forefoot, which flatters a V-shaped foot; a genuinely narrow or wide foot is happier in the Ultra or the Magna. The workbook does not state the shell size behind that 100 mm figure, so take it as a fit class, not a promise — and the BOA cinches the wrap, it does not widen the shell.
The Hawx Prime 110 BOA flex is a house number: a 110 here will not match a 110 from another maker, so buy the fit, not the index. Inside Atomic's own line it lands a rung above the forgiving 100 BOA and below the aggressive 120 and 130 — support for an advancing-intermediate to advanced skier who drives the cuff, not a first boot. The reviews that do exist cover the stiffer S models, the narrow Ultra, or the softer 100 BOA, so the fit and the BOA behavior carry over, but the specific ride feel at this flex is platform inference.
The Hawx Prime 110 BOA closure is the real reason to pick it over a buckle boot. The BOA H+i1 dial wraps the lower shell in place of the lower buckles, closing down evenly and letting you shed or add a click of tension without stopping — a genuine answer to forefoot hot spots. Two aluminum buckles and a power strap hold the cuff, so the closure is BOA on the lower shell with buckles up top: not a full-BOA design, and not a three-buckle boot. Want a dial up top too? That is the 110 Dual BOA. Atomic's workbook calls this model's cuff tech 'Flex Control' but never says what it does, so we log the name and stop there.
Where the Hawx Prime 110 BOA makes its case is value. For roughly $40 more the 110 S BOA adds an adjustable three-position lean and steps the liner up to Mimic Gold, on the same last, flex and closure; skip those and this is your rung. Underfoot is a Cantable GripWalk (ISO 23223) pad — grip and a canting path for a fitter, not a hike mode — that has to run in a GripWalk or Multi-Norm binding, checked by a technician. Our read: a serious, fitter-friendly medium-volume 110 for a true medium foot and a fitting session — bought for the fit and the price, not for a stance you can dial in.
Strengths
- +BOA H+i1 lower wraps the forefoot evenly and micro-adjusts in clicks
- +BOA lower plus two aluminum cuff buckles — not full BOA
- +Both the shell and the Mimic Silver liner heat-mold in the shop
- +Shares the 110 S BOA platform for about $40 less
- +Cantable GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole adds grip and a canting path
Best For
A genuine medium (~100 mm) foot with a snug-ish heel, and an advancing-intermediate to advanced skier who drives a 110 cuff and treats a bootfitting session as part of the buy.
Limitations
- −Forward lean is fixed at 15 degrees; the 110 S adjusts
- −Medium volume by design — narrow and wide feet fit the siblings better
- −"Flex Control" is a cuff-tech name the workbook never explains
- −Standard Mimic Silver liner; the plusher Gold liner is on the 110 S
Not For
Narrow or wide feet — those belong in the Hawx Ultra and Hawx Magna, because tightening a BOA does not change the last. Beginners, cautious returning skiers and much lighter skiers who want a softer, more forgiving flex. Anyone who wants to tune forward lean out of the box: the 110 S BOA is the rung that adjusts, not this one. Anyone who wants BOA on the cuff too: that is the 110 Dual BOA. Flex-number-only cross-shoppers, since a 110 here is not a 110 from another brand. And anyone dropping these into a binding without a technician checking the GripWalk sole first.
Common Questions
- What is the difference between the Hawx Prime 110 BOA and the 110 S BOA?
- They share the 100 mm last, the 110 flex and the same BOA-lower-plus-two-cuff-buckle closure. For about $40 more, the 110 S BOA adds a three-position adjustable forward lean and a plusher Mimic Gold liner. This plain 110 BOA has its lean fixed at 15 degrees and runs a Mimic Silver liner. If you do not need adjustable lean or a warmer liner, the plain 110 BOA is the value pick.
- Is the Hawx Prime 110 BOA full BOA, or does it still use buckles?
- It is a BOA lower plus two aluminum cuff buckles: the BOA H+i1 dial wraps the lower shell, and two buckles and a power strap hold the cuff. It is not a full-BOA boot, and it is not a three-buckle one. If you want a BOA dial on the cuff as well, that is the separate Hawx Prime 110 Dual BOA.
- Can I use the Hawx Prime 110 BOA with my current bindings?
- The sole is GripWalk (ISO 23223), so it needs a binding that accepts GripWalk — a GripWalk-logo binding or a Multi-Norm (MNC) unit. A conventional alpine binding that is not GripWalk-certified will not take it. Have a certified technician confirm the match and set the release on a machine before you ski.
- Is the Hawx Prime 110 BOA right for wide or narrow feet?
- It is a medium-volume boot on a 100 mm last, so a genuine medium foot fits it well — a bootfitter reads it as snug through the heel and ankle with a medium forefoot. A genuinely wide foot is better in the Hawx Magna and a narrow foot in the Hawx Ultra; cinching the BOA tightens the wrap but does not open the last. Get shell-fitted before you buy.
