Description
The Atomic Hawx Prime 110 Dual BOA is a 100 mm medium-volume alpine boot that trades its buckles for two BOA dials — one over the instep, one over the shin — in a 110 flex aimed at intermediate-to-advanced all-mountain skiers.
Underneath, it is the familiar Hawx Prime: a PU shell and cuff in Atomic's light Prolite construction, Memory Fit so a fitter can heat-mold the shell, cuff and Mimic Silver liner in minutes, and the medium-volume Hawx Geometry that suits an average-width foot with an average-to-tall instep. The Flex Control cuff sets the flex and a fixed 15° forward lean, with no flex or lean adjustment — that is the S boots' job. A 35 mm power strap finishes the cuff.
The change on this model is the closure. Both zones now run BOA's H+i1 system: a Dual Pull dial tensions the cuff where two aluminum buckles used to sit, and a Single Pull dial handles the lower shell over the instep. Turn a dial to micro-adjust on the move; unclip the upper cable and the cuff swings open for entry. The trade is even pressure and quick, on-the-fly tuning — not any gain in stiffness or drive.
This boot wants a medium-volume foot and an intermediate-to-advanced skier. A narrow, low-volume foot will float inside the 100 mm shell — the Hawx Ultra is the narrower fit — while a genuinely wide foot that wants room out of the box belongs in the Hawx Magna. Beginners tend to progress faster on a softer flex, and anyone who has to hike uphill needs a walk mode, which this fixed-cuff alpine boot does not have.
One thing to settle before you ride: the boot ships on GripWalk (ISO 23223) grip pads, so it pairs with bindings rated for GripWalk soles, never a plain alpine binding that lacks the rating. Bring your skis and we will size and heat-mold the boot, then a certified technician confirms the sole-and-binding match and release-tests it before you ski.

100mm— Medium (100–101mm)
The Hawx Prime 110 Dual BOA takes the medium-volume, 100 mm Hawx Prime shell and closes it with two BOA dials in place of buckles — one on the lower shell over the instep, one on the cuff over the shin. That second, cuff dial is the whole point of this model. Its cheaper sibling, the Hawx Prime 110 BOA, runs the same shell, the same 100 mm last, the same Mimic Silver liner, the same flex and the same fixed lean, and keeps two aluminum buckles on the cuff instead. Mechanically the two are one boot. The $60 you pay over it buys the BOA cuff — even tightening and micro-adjustment on the move — not more ski.
Fit is the proven part. The Hawx Prime is a true medium-volume, 100 mm shell — average width, average-to-tall instep — and the Prolite build with Memory Fit lets a bootfitter reshape the shell, cuff and liner with heat and chase down trouble spots in minutes. Third-party descriptions of this platform point the same way: a firm heel pocket, a generous instep, and a pointed Hawx toe box that can press the big or little toe on some feet until it molds. Buy this one fitted, not blind.
Two cautions belong on the table. First, the dual-BOA closure on the Prime 110 is new for 26/27; the fit and flex read here rests on the shared buckle-and-single-BOA Prime 110 platform, which is well documented, while the second dial is the new part. Second, the Flex Control cuff fixes both the 110 flex and the 15° forward lean — if you want to tune stiffness or lean, that is the S boots' Power Shift system, not this one.
Within the Hawx Prime ladder the 110 Dual BOA is the medium-stiffness, all-mountain middle: enough boot for an intermediate-to-advanced skier who drives the ski but does not want to be punished on the mellow runs. Stronger, heavier drivers after maximum stiffness and adjustable flex should step up to the S boots. Fit the shell to your foot first — the 100 mm Prime is the medium-volume option, with the narrower Hawx Ultra (98 mm) and the wider Hawx Magna (102 mm) on either side. And do not skip the binding question: these ride on GripWalk (ISO 23223) pads, which need a GripWalk-rated binding — a technician confirms the interface and sets the release, and how that release behaves is the binding's job, never the boot's.
Strengths
- +Full dual-BOA closure: micro-adjustable, even pressure, no buckle hot-spots on instep or shin
- +Proven Hawx Prime platform in a medium-volume 100 mm shell — Memory Fit heat-molds shell, cuff and liner
- +110 flex is an approachable all-mountain level: stable at speed, not punishing when you back off
- +GripWalk (ISO 23223) cantable pads — a fitter can plane them for canting alignment
Best For
Intermediate-to-advanced skiers with a medium-volume foot — average width, average-to-tall instep — who want one all-mountain boot and like the idea of two BOA dials they can micro-adjust on the fly. It is also a smart pick for anyone who gets top-of-foot pressure or shin bite from buckle cuffs.
Limitations
- −Dual-BOA closure is new for 26/27; feel is read off the platform
- −Flex and the 15° forward lean are fixed — no adjustable flex or lean like the S boots
- −$60 over the mechanically identical 110 BOA buys the BOA cuff, not more performance
- −Pointed Hawx toe box can press the big or little toe until the shell is molded
Not For
Narrow, low-volume feet: 100 mm MV will leave heel and ankle slop, and the Hawx Ultra (98 mm) is the narrower shell. Genuinely wide or high-volume feet who want out-of-box room: the Hawx Magna (102 mm) is the wide fit. Aggressive experts and heavier hard-chargers chasing maximum stiffness — a fixed-flex 110 is not the stiffest, and the 120/130 S boots add both stiffness and adjustable flex and lean. Beginners and very casual skiers, who progress more easily in a softer boot. Tourers who need to walk uphill — this is a fixed-cuff alpine boot with no walk mode; the Hawx Prime XTD line has the hike mechanism. And anyone hoping the $60 over the 110 BOA buys more ski — mechanically it is the same boot.
Common Questions
- What is the difference between the Hawx Prime 110 Dual BOA and the Hawx Prime 110 BOA?
- The shell, the 100 mm medium-volume last, the Mimic Silver liner, the 110 flex and the fixed 15° lean are the same on both. The only difference is the cuff closure: the 110 Dual BOA uses a second BOA dial on the cuff, while the 110 BOA keeps two aluminum buckles there (both share the lower-shell BOA). You are paying about $60 more for the BOA cuff — even pressure and micro-adjustment — not for more performance.
- Can I use the Hawx Prime 110 Dual BOA with my current bindings?
- Only if those bindings are rated for a GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole — this boot ships on GripWalk grip pads. Atomic publishes no compatibility list beyond that norm, so bring your skis and let a certified technician confirm the match and set and test the release before you ski it.
- Is the Hawx Prime 110 Dual BOA good for wide feet?
- It is built on the 100 mm Medium Volume last, which fits a medium foot — neither narrow nor wide. Memory Fit can heat-mold and punch the shell to relieve specific spots, but molding refines a fit rather than turning a medium shell into a wide one — a genuinely wide foot is better off in the 102 mm Hawx Magna. Get shell-fitted rather than buying to your street-shoe size.
- Is a 110 flex too stiff for an intermediate skier?
- The 110 is an all-mountain middle, not a race flex: stable when you push it and forgiving when you back off, which suits a progressing intermediate through to an advanced skier. Flex numbers are each brand's own scale, so do not cross-shop this 110 against another maker's — compare it inside the Hawx Prime line, where the softer Prime 100 sits below it and the stiffer 120 and 130 S boots sit above.
