Product Description
Built Specifically for Race Slalom
Race slalom demands quick acceleration, precise turns and rapid transitions from one direction to the next. The SL Two is designed specifically around these requirements, giving skaters a supportive, responsive platform for training and competition.
Rather than trying to serve multiple skating disciplines, its construction focuses on the close fit and control needed to navigate a slalom course at speed.
The SL Two provides a more accessible alternative to the premium SL One. Both boots share the same race slalom focus, while the SL Two uses a carbon fiber and fiberglass composite base and more economical materials to deliver dedicated race slalom performance at a lower price point.
Carbon Fiber + Fiberglass Composite Base
The SL Two uses a 50% carbon fiber and 50% fiberglass base.
This composite construction provides the stiffness and support required for race slalom while helping make the SL Two more affordable than the full-carbon SL One.
During acceleration and direction changes, the supportive base helps translate movements of the foot into the skate. This creates a predictable connection between the skater and frame, making it easier to control line, pressure and timing through the course.
For skaters progressing into competitive race slalom or those looking for race-specific performance without stepping up to a full-carbon boot, the SL Two offers a practical balance of performance and value.
Heat-Moldable Fit for Better Foot Control
A secure fit is particularly important in race slalom, where unwanted movement inside the boot can reduce control during rapid changes of direction.
The SL Two's heat-moldable base allows the fit to be refined around the individual foot. Heat molding can help improve heel hold, accommodate pressure points and create a closer connection between the foot and boot.
A properly fitted boot helps keep the foot supported so smaller movements can produce a cleaner and more predictable response through the skate.
Heat molding should be carried out carefully according to Bont's fitting instructions. Skaters unfamiliar with heat molding should seek assistance from an experienced Bont dealer or skate fitter.
Close Fit and Direct Feedback
The SL Two uses a close-fitting race profile designed to keep the foot secure during acceleration, turns and transitions.
Inside, a Suede-L lining with 0.1 mm neoprene padding provides a thin layer of comfort without excessive bulk. This maintains the direct feel expected from a race slalom boot while providing a comfortable interface against the foot.
The result is a purposeful performance fit designed around control rather than the thick cushioning found in recreational skating boots.
Skaters who prefer a soft, heavily padded boot should consider whether this race-focused fit suits their needs. The SL Two prioritizes support, control and feedback.
Built for Acceleration and Direction Changes
A race slalom boot needs to do more than support the foot through turns. It must also provide a stable platform for acceleration and remain predictable as speed increases.
The SL Two's composite base provides firm support through each push, while its close fit helps keep the foot connected to the boot. As the skater enters the course, this combination supports rapid changes in direction and precise adjustments to line and position.
Race slalom rewards accuracy and repeatability. A boot that responds consistently allows the skater to concentrate on timing, technique and the chosen line through the course.
Distinctive Performance Materials
The SL Two combines its composite base with a distinctive shiny blue lined TPU and black Durolite upper.
The iridescent blue finish gives the SL Two a standout race appearance, while the black Durolite provides a clean contrast around the lower portion of the boot.
The boot is completed with a standard aluminium mounting block and standard Bont buckle, providing a straightforward and reliable setup while helping position the SL Two as the more accessible model in Bont's race slalom range.
SL One vs SL Two
Both the SL One and SL Two are purpose-built for race slalom, but they offer different levels of construction and materials.
SL One
The premium model, featuring a 100% carbon fiber base and higher-grade materials for skaters seeking Bont's top-level race slalom construction.
SL Two
The more accessible model, featuring a 50% carbon fiber / 50% fiberglass base and more economical materials while maintaining a dedicated race slalom design.
Choose the SL One if maximum performance and premium materials are your priority.
Choose the SL Two if you want a dedicated race slalom boot at a more accessible price point.
Size-Specific Mounting Separation
The SL Two is available in sizes from 180 mm to 315 mm, with mounting separation matched to boot size:
- 180–245 mm: 150 mm separation
- 250–315 mm: 165 mm separation
Check your frame compatibility and required mounting separation before ordering.
