2027 Radar Carbitex Vector BOA ARTP (Alum)

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

The 2027 Radar Carbitex Vector BOA ARTP (Alum) is an adjustable rear toe plate on an aluminium base rather than the Feather Frame chassis, so it drops onto a standard insert pattern and can be moved between skis. The reason it exists is simple: the back foot is the one that changes most often, and a plate that adjusts across a wide range of feet means anyone on the boat can take a set without re-rigging the ski.

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.
• Aluminium Plate: Mounts to a conventional insert pattern, so it fits skis that aren't Feather Frame compatible and can be swapped between them.
• 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.

Why You'll Love It

Beginner to advanced, and genuinely the right answer for a shared ski. Take the alloy version if your ski isn't Feather Frame compatible or you want a rear you can move between skis. If the ski is yours alone and you're chasing shortline, a full rear boot will always give you more to push against.

One size: Standard, US 7–11 — the plate adjusts across the range.

Quick Answers

Aluminium plate or Feather Frame 2.0?
Same ARTP on top. The aluminium plate mounts to a standard insert pattern and can be moved between skis; Feather Frame 2.0 is lighter and pairs with the modular Radar front boots. Match your front boot.

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 aluminium plate mounts to a standard slalom insert pattern, so it fits Radar skis and most other brands, and it can be moved between skis.
