Head Stratos Pro

[leeho730]

My feet measures 25.5 (and wide!) and I've been using size 24 Raichle 123 boots. Ordered head stratos 24.5 boots and hopefully they will fit! Later I might try upz as well...
Will definitely install ACSS as well... Hardbooting without spring system is unthinkable for me... Tried conventional lock system and was too weird! Ive been using dual with hardboots in duck stance (-18/6) and it was crazy fun!

Reviews to follow...

Hello all!

Just thought I'd give the community a head's up...

Apparently, HEAD is still producing the Stratos Pro boots .

I was on the BomberOnline website today, and saw that they now have IN STOCK sizes that were previously unavailable for the last several months. I do not know if you folks in Europe and elsewhere have had luck with the retailers out there, but seeing Bomber replenishing their stock of HSP is a definitely a very good sign!

Head Stratos ACSS tuning done!

The flex is between BTS yellow and blue... I like it! Thanks Arnaud!

My set is also on the boot, but I didn't remove all the other plastics yet. It was still a bit stiffer then Indy's with yellow/yellow BTS and some plastics removed. I think one aspect of the BTS I really liked was still being able to set the forward lean, I kind of miss it with ACSS. I was getting used to using my rear boot with more forward lean than the front boot.

I kind of miss it with ACSS. I was getting used to using my rear boot with more forward lean than the front boot.

You can easily implement this feature by adding a M6 nut below the bottom spring.

I will try that together with cutting more plastic away

I have some bad news, Head is no longer producing the Head Stratos pro, and in fact has not been since 2008, the "new" shipments are in fact new old stock. If you like the boots or need spare parts now is the time to buy.

[Arnaud]

Yes, we know this

[benttech]

I didnt know this, nor have I seen this information anywhere. Who is "we"? Then why didnt you post such information? This was your last post in the previous HSP thread:

One of the guys I spoke to claimed they were getting a new shipment very soon.

Maybe a good news. Thanks for the info.
These infos about production or not of Head Stratos are very mysterious

In the same thread where another user posted this:

Apparently, HEAD is still producing the Stratos Pro boots .

In my opinion nobody knows this and it should be made very public that these boots are going to soon disappear.

At the time I made my post a few months back, BomberOnline(USA) had stated on their website that they had sizes available that were not previously available, which led me to believe that they were getting new production stock. At this time I do think that BomberOnline still has the boots in stock in several sizes.

But from what I read here on the thread, it seems that HEAD is in fact NOT producing the Stratos Pro anymore... This is very sad news indeed....

@ Benttech : since the post you mentionned, Fin told me that it was an old stock, and not a new production . Bad news
