Anyone know where I can source some new soloman Xmax 120 or 130 liners? Stock liner has plastic creating a stiffer flex and I worry any non stock liner will be too soft. Thanks

You need to get in touch with your local Salomon dealer and they can see if a liner is available. They are not sold through other channels.

So my local shop says intuition pro tongues/wraps are actually a little stiffer than the stock Xmax 120 liner...anyone have some input on this? Stock liner has a plastic tongue wrap and a back cuff plastic wrap and it really makes me question how the pro tongue could be stiffer. Thanks

I have pro-tongues in my touring boots, Tecnica Cochise 120. I got them because the Cochise 120 is really really soft for a 120 flex, IMO. The intuition liners are actually really stiff and now the overall flex seems right on par with my Salomon S/Max 130's. So far I'm a big fan of the pro-tongue. The laces on the tongue allow you to get a really snug fit on your calf and being able to loosen them provides pretty good range of motion when touring. After heat molding and a few days or skiing the ankle pocket formed really nicely. They are definitely stiffer than stock liners and feel very substantial.

But are the Pro tongues stiffer than my Xmax 120s or just stiffer than the Cochise 120s?? The Xmax 120 liners have a plastic shell stiffening them up a ton and don’t know how they compare to the cochises. Thanks for the help too.

The pro-tongues are the stiffest liner I've ever had. Out of the box, they felt like an 80-ish flex by themselves without even being in the boot. The pro-tongue is also plastic reenforced and by itself feels much stiffer than the liners in my S/Max 130's. If the shop you go to has any on hand you should try them out, they are very stiff.

Intuition is also making a race liner next season the tis a lounge liner and has a crazy amount of plastic on the tongue I think they are calling it the plug. Its a super bad ass liner. If your going intuition I would go with either the plug or the pro wrap, wrap style liners also add stiffness.

Confirmed Pro Tongues Stiffer:
I skied xmax 120's with stock liner for a full season before switching to an intuition liner.
Even with the plastic on the xmax liner, the pro tongue would be stiffer. It is just way more dense material.
The feedback I always got on them is that they are higher end performance boots. Get yourself some higher end performance liners.
