Abstract
Device for controlling the flexion stiffness of a ski boot comprising a shell base (1) and an upper composed at least of a cuff (3). The device comprises a flexion element (9) arranged in a longitudinal direction between the shell base (1) and the cuff (3) attached (10) at one end on the shell base (1) or the cuff (3) and whose other end cooperates in movable contact with a ramp (11) carried by the cuff (3) or the shell base (1), respectively. A device (15) permits the flexion element (9) to be tightened in an adjustable manner in order to charge its change its characteristics, so as to adjust the stiffness of the articulation (5) of the cuff (3) on the shell base (1) and its progressivity as a function of the wishes of the skier and the actual conditions encountered in the run.
