Item #BLD0483 | 10 in Stock

Just wondering how the new cyborgs go with a scarpa cumbre boot....

Just wondering how the new cyborgs go with a scarpa cumbre boot. i have some older sabretooths and have problems with the straightness of the crampon and the asymetrical curve of the cumbre. Due to the aggresive curve of the boot, the inside point of the crampon (under the ball of your foot) is outside the line of the boot, leading to easy catching when your exhausted at the end of the day, and the outside point (under the ball of your foot) being too far under your foot leading to rolling off the outside of your crampon easily, esp downhill traversing.
just wondering if the cyborg is curved enough for this boot to stop this problem, or whether to try a petzl crampon.

if they do not fit as you would like, BD has Asymmetrical Center Bars that have a more pronounced curve for like 25 bucks.
