2027 Radar Carbitex Vector BOA ARTP

2027 Radar Carbitex Vector BOA ARTP | Fits Any Foot on the Boat

The 2027 Radar Carbitex Vector BOA ARTP is an adjustable rear toe plate, and the reason it exists is simple: the back foot is the one that changes most often. A toe plate that adjusts across a wide range of feet means anyone on the boat can take a set without you re-rigging the ski. The BOA dial and Carbitex upper are what stop that flexibility feeling vague underfoot.

Key Technical Features

• BOA Fit System: Micro-adjustable dial closure — the fastest way to re-fit the plate for the next person, and adjustable on the water.
• Carbitex OmniFlex: A flexible carbon fibre textile rather than a rigid panel. It's what lets an adjustable toe plate still transmit real input rather than just holding your foot down.
• Independent Floating Tongue: The tongue moves separately from the wrap, so the plate can close over very different foot volumes without pressure points on the instep.
• Contoured Footbed: Shaped rather than flat, which gives the back foot something to locate against — the usual weak point of a toe plate.
• Feather Frame 2.0 Chassis: Mounting system, baseplate and shell in one piece, so you stand closer to the ski. Modular, so it pairs with any Feather Frame front boot.

Why You'll Love It

Beginner to advanced, and genuinely the right answer for a shared ski. Buy it if the ski gets passed around on a family boat, or if you want an easy exit and don't want to be locked into a rear boot. If the ski is yours alone and you're chasing shortline, a full rear boot will always give you more to push against.

Same plate, same BOA dial, same floating tongue. The Carbitex version adds a carbon textile upper so the rear foot can transmit real input. Actively driving off the back foot, the Carbitex. A rear you mostly stand on, the standard Vector ARTP saves money.

ARTP or rear boot?
A rear boot is the most locked-in for two-feet-in course skiing. An ARTP is lighter, easier for foot-out starts and lets you slide your rear foot without re-drilling. Foot-out or casual, ARTP; two-feet-in, rear boot.

Will it fit my ski?
Yes — the Feather Frame 2.0 chassis is built to mount on every current slalom ski, Radar or otherwise.
