What is the advantage of the Vizion 4B over the Speed 100 HV+?

The Vizion 4B adds Rossignol's step-in entry system (Spine Link), walk mode, and a pre-mounted GripWalk sole. The Speed 100 HV+ is a traditional overlap boot with the same flex and last width at a lower price.

Is the 102mm last true to size?

Yes. The 102mm measurement is at reference size 26/26.5. The high-volume fit provides extra room in the forefoot, toe box, and ankle compared to the 100mm MV models.

The Vizion 4B 100 HV brings Rossignol's step-in technology to wide-footed skiers. The 102mm high-volume last gives generous room through the forefoot and ankle, while the Spine Link mechanism opens the back of the boot wide for effortless entry — a combination that makes this one of the easiest stiff boots to get in and out of for wider feet. Flex 100 is right in the sweet spot for strong intermediates to advanced skiers who want control without brutality.

At $385, it slots between the basic Speed line and the premium Vizion Pro models. You get the step-in convenience, walk mode, and pre-mounted GripWalk sole — features that make a real difference in daily skiing comfort. If you've been suffering through buckle battles with wide-last boots, this is the upgrade.
