Repairing habu® Fit System knobs and cable.
Supplied by BOA Technology, the wheels and the laces of the adjustment system have undergone thousands of hours of rigorous tests in the lab and in the field, and are guaranteed to prolong the life of the boot on which they are built into.
After-sales service is provided on the habufit.com/support website.
habu® Fit System (produced by Boa® technology)
The habu® fItsystem combines three important technical elements to transform the snowboard experience:
1) the innovative innovative wheel ensures micro-adjustment and precision,
2) the habu® cable is light, but very durable with 75 stainless steel strands.
3) low friction habu® guides ensure uniform pressure distribution whilst minimising wear and long lifespan.
Boot flex/stiffness
The SNB 500 boots have medium (6/10) stiffness (or flex). They are aimed at riders who hold a curve at high speed (requiring a stiff shoe) while allowing them to stay responsive through small turns or surprise bumps that require quick leg flex-extension. The flex and heel support are both superior to the SNB 100 boot.
Increase the stiffness of your boots by adding Flex Up
The Flex Up (8600870) enables you to make your boot more rigid on 2 out of 10 flexion points (with Flex Up, this new boot has a rigidity of approximately 5/10).
This is a plastic accessory which is inserted into the tongue of Decathlon snowboard boots produced from the 2022/23 season onwards. A pocket has been included in the design so that it's properly positioned in terms of height and laterality.
The Flex Up makes sense over time: If your boot turns more limp, give it a second life.

2. Remove the inner soles from the liners, place the liners on the oven plate covered with a piece of baking paper
3. Wait 15 mins
4. Put the socks back on, put them on with a pair of ski-snowboard socks and tighten them (not too much)
