The newest version of the scarpa maestrale rs is basically a brand new ski boot.
For fall 2017 scarpa has released new versions called the maestrale rs the stiffer version with the women s versions dubbed the gea rs.

Scarpa s alpine ski boot line up is decidedly oriented to human powered use.
Weighing in at 3 pounds 1 7 ounces per boot size 27 the scarpa maestrale rs is on the lighter side of 3 4 buckle alpine touring boots ski mountaineering boots such as the dynafit tlt7 performance are lighter but significantly less powerful on the descent.
Our entire test team had at least some experience with previous versions and we can authoritatively say that it is as good as any of the predecessors and at least a little better in all ways.
Scarpa took the simple external lever used on the f1 and alien series of boots beefed it up and installed it on the maestrale boots.
The time lag should be minimal.
