- New high performance/racing boot, constructed with hi-tech micro-fiber, designed to meet light weight and performance requirements in top level racing.

- Specially developed TPU external protective profiles continue Alpinestars philosophy of giving optimum impact protection.
- Side opening/exit zip with stretch bellows panel edge to ensure close fit and ease of access and removal.
- Security and adjustability is further improved with internal Velcro which ensures a tight, non-slip, connection between surfaces.
- Micro adjustable ratchet top closure for added precision and security around the calf.
- External shin protection wraps around to cover calf and is shaped to dissipate impact energy across the entire surface while ensuring ease of movement and compact profile.
- Vented sections promote airflow into the boot to keep the riders foot at an ambient temperature.
- External heel protection counter is profiled to provide excellent protection with no impediment to comfort.
- It also features a vent to aid airflow to the riders foot.

- Achilles flex area wraps around the lateral and medial sides of the protective heel structure and allows natural movement.
- Top gaiter is constructed with high-grade synthetic which is soft, flexible and follows the contour of the leg.
- The inner side is over-injected TPU which gives a secure grip surface with a leather suit.
- Full length suede leather panel on the inner side of the boot provides a very clean, flat surface for excellent grip and feel against the bike and adds protection from abrasion and heat.
- Technical lightweight sole features a specific rubber compound which gives excellent grip and feel while allowing natural flex as the rider changes position and pressure on the foot-peg.
- Special, lightweight, toe shifter gives feel and protection for changing gear and preventing pinching over the toes.
- Replaceable TPU heel plate slider and integrated side insert give highly effective impact protection and reduce friction in the event of a fall.
