These 27-centimeter high, newly developed motorcycle boots are mainly aimed at the sporty motorcyclist, both on track and on public roads. Flexibility and anatomy are the key words. You can combine this boot with a full race suit or with (motor)jeans.
Flexibility first: the striking accordion panels at the front and back ensure optimal freedom of movement on and off the bike. The air intake on the shin and matching outlet on the heel reveal additional ventilating properties.
Anatomy then. The TPU ankle brace is a striking eye-catcher on the SMX-6 V2. It allows for comfortable movement, but supports the ankle in the event of a crash. The heel and shin, which are not coincidentally also vulnerable in a crash, are made from hard TPU. Reinforcements on the sole and the toes are apparent, just like the shifting reinforcement and the replaceable toe slider.
Made of durable and breathable (patented and new) microfiber material, this boot offers great value for money in the form of strength and comfort. A removable anatomical footbed with EVA and lycra especially enhance the latter. The Alpinestars exclusive rubber compound sole offers improved water drainage and good grip.
The large (side) entry makes it easy for almost everyone to get into the boot. Opening and closing is done by means of a zipper and velcro system for optimal fit. The puller of the zipper can be attached inside the boot, so it is never in the way.
