Performance NTN Telemark Boot Scarpa TX Comp Telemark Boot Built for aggressive free-heel skiers who charge resort laps, sidecountry, and race courses, the Scarpa TX Comp Telemark Boot is an NTN telemark boot that pairs race-day stiffness with a real walk mode. Weighing in at 1,545 grams (size 27) with a 102mm last, a stiff performance flex, and a Vibram EVO LT NTN sole with tech toe inserts, the TX Comp is primed for hard-charging resort days, technical sidecountry lines, or telemark race courses where a soft flex won't cut it. The TX Comp shares the TX Pro lower shell but adds a stiffer cuff and a firmer Intuition 4Pro Flex TK Comp liner, with a three-buckle closure, a Booster power strap, and a Speed Lock MLT walk mechanism that opens 62 degrees of cuff rotation for touring. Expert Fit Review Fit profile and recommendations reviewed by CCBB bootfitters. Is This the Right Boot for You? Best ForAggressive telemark skiers who want the stiffest, most powerful Scarpa NTN boot for hard resort skiing, sidecountry, and telemark race courses, who ski NTN or tele-tech (TTS) bindings, and who still want 62 degrees of cuff rotation to tour. Pairs with telemark skis 90 to 112mm underfoot. Consider Another Boot IfYou want an easier, more progressive flex for learning or all-day comfort, since the TX Pro is softer, or you prioritize the lightest possible touring boot. You also ski 75mm three-pin duckbill bindings or need alpine, MNC, or frame AT compatibility. The TX Comp is an NTN and tele-tech telemark boot only.

At 1,545 grams per boot (size 27) it stays close to a modern freeride AT boot on the scale despite the added stiffness. The 62-degree range of motion lets even this stiff boot tour and skin efficiently, released by the Speed Lock MLT lever. The TX Comp shares the TX Pro 2.0 lower shell, so it fits like the TX Pro but skis with more power for skiers who charge. Tech toe inserts and an NTN sole make the TX Comp compatible with both NTN bindings and tele-tech (TTS) bindings, so skiers are not locked into one standard. The three-buckle closure with a Booster Active Power Strap holds the shin firmly for control on bumpy, high-speed descents. Best Uses Aggressive resort, sidecountry, and race-course telemark skiing NTN bindings such as the 22 Designs Outlaw X, Rottefella Freedom and Freeride, and M Equipment Meidjo Tele-tech (TTS) touring setups such as the Meidjo, 22 Designs Lynx, and Voile TTS Telemark skis 90 to 112mm underfoot Strong free-heel skiers who put the descent first Bootfitter's Advice The TX Comp 2.0 shares the TX Pro lower shell, so it fits as a medium-volume telemark boot on a 102mm last, slightly wider than Scarpa's alpine touring boots but not as wide as a Scott or Garmont tele shell. After fitting these, we find most skiers take their true Scarpa shell size; the stiffer cuff and firmer liner make heel hold and shin contact more precise, which rewards a dialed fit. Confirm size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe number. The Pebax shell punches and grinds well everywhere except the bellows over the forefoot, which is common to all telemark boots and cannot be modified. The Intuition 4Pro Flex TK Comp liner is firmer than the TX Pro liner and heat-moldable, so we mold it to lock in the heel for aggressive skiing. One binding note: the TX Comp requires a mandatory update to run on pre-2025 22 Designs Lynx bindings, so confirm your Lynx binding is current before skiing. Fit profile reviewed by CCBB bootfitters. Final sizing should be confirmed with a shell fit whenever possible. 📏 Technical Specifications Manufacturer specs · Click to expand Fit and Construction Weight1,545 g per boot (size 27).

The TX Pro is more progressive and easier to flex at slow speeds. Skiers who charge hard choose the TX Comp; skiers who want all-around versatility and touring comfort choose the TX Pro. Shop Scarpa TX Pro NTN boots TX Comp vs. Crispi NTN Evo These are the two stiffest NTN telemark boots most skiers cross-shop. The Scarpa TX Comp is far lighter at 1,545 grams and tours with 62 degrees of cuff rotation, while the Crispi NTN Evo skis a slightly more rigid, carbon-supported flex at 1,815 grams with only 10 degrees of cuff rotation and adds toe-and-heel tech inserts. The TX Comp is the better climber; the Crispi is the more downhill-single-minded. Shop Crispi NTN Evo boots TX Comp vs. Crispi Shiver The Crispi Shiver is a lighter, single-buckle-cuff NTN boot built for touring comfort, giving up downhill support to save weight. The Scarpa TX Comp sits at the opposite end, prioritizing a stiff, powerful flex with a three-buckle cuff for aggressive descents while still touring with 62 degrees of cuff rotation. Choose the TX Comp for power, the Shiver for a lighter, more forgiving climb. Shop Crispi Shiver boots Common Questions Who should buy the Scarpa TX Comp?The Scarpa TX Comp suits aggressive telemark skiers who want the stiffest, most powerful Scarpa NTN boot for hard resort skiing, sidecountry, and race courses. It skis a firm performance flex, still tours with 62 degrees of cuff rotation, and pairs with telemark skis 90 to 112mm underfoot. It fits medium-volume feet and works with both NTN and tele-tech bindings.What bindings work with the Scarpa TX Comp?The Scarpa TX Comp is an NTN (New Telemark Norm) and tele-tech (TTS) telemark boot. It works with NTN bindings such as the 22 Designs Outlaw X, Rottefella Freedom and Freeride, and M Equipment Meidjo, and with tele-tech bindings such as the Meidjo, 22 Designs Lynx, and Voile TTS through its tech toe inserts. It is not compatible with alpine (ISO 5355), MNC, frame AT, or 75mm three-pin duckbill bindings.How is the TX Comp different from the TX Pro?The Scarpa TX Comp shares the TX Pro 2.0 lower shell and 102mm fit but adds a stiffer cuff and the firmer Intuition 4Pro Flex TK Comp liner for a more aggressive, race-oriented flex. The TX Pro is more progressive and easier to flex, and it is the better learning and all-around boot; the TX Comp is for skiers who charge hard and want more power.Is the Scarpa TX Comp really as stiff as a 130-flex alpine boot?The comparison does not translate directly. Scarpa assigns no numeric flex index to the TX Comp, and telemark boot flex is not measured on the alpine 130 scale. We find the TX Comp is the stiffest boot in Scarpa's telemark line, clearly firmer than the TX Pro and comparable to a race-level tele boot, which is what aggressive free-heel skiers want.Can I tour in the Scarpa TX Comp?Yes. Even as the stiff boot in the line, the TX Comp tours well for a telemark boot, with 62 degrees of cuff rotation released by the Speed Lock MLT lever. Its tech toe inserts let it tour on tele-tech (TTS) bindings such as the Meidjo and 22 Designs Lynx, which pivot at the tech toe. It remains a free-heel telemark setup, not an alpine touring boot.How does the sizing and fit run on the Scarpa TX Comp?The TX Comp 2.0 shares the TX Pro lower shell, so it fits close to true Mondo length on a 102mm last and runs slightly wider than Scarpa's alpine touring boots. Take your true Scarpa shell size rather than sizing up, and confirm with a shell fit. The stiffer cuff and firmer liner make a dialed heel and shin fit especially worthwhile.Does the Scarpa TX Comp fit wide feet?The TX Comp runs slightly above average in width for a 102mm last, wider than Scarpa's AT boots but not as wide as a Scott tele shell. The Pebax shell punches and grinds well except over the bellows, which cannot be modified on any telemark boot, so very wide forefeet may need a different shell.Do I need to do anything before using the TX Comp with a 22 Designs Lynx binding?Yes. Scarpa issued a mandatory update for using the TX line with pre-2025 22 Designs Lynx bindings. If you ski a Lynx binding purchased before 2025, confirm it has the update from 22 Designs before mounting or skiing the TX Comp. Current Lynx bindings and other NTN and tele-tech bindings are not affected.What warranty does the Scarpa TX Comp carry?Scarpa North America covers the TX Comp with a 1-year limited warranty from the original date of purchase for the original owner, against defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear and bootfitting modifications such as punching or molding are not covered.Our Verdict The Scarpa TX Comp is the boot for telemark skiers who put the descent first. It shares the modern TX Pro lower shell and its 62 degrees of cuff rotation, so it still tours, but a stiffer cuff and a firmer Intuition 4Pro Flex TK Comp liner give it the most power in Scarpa's telemark line for hard resort skiing, sidecountry, and race courses. Tech toe inserts and an NTN sole let it run both NTN and tele-tech bindings. Skiers learning the turn or chasing all-day comfort should look at the more progressive TX Pro, but for strong free-heel skiers who charge, the TX Comp is the stiff, capable choice.
