ALPINESTARS Tech 10 Boots

Features

• The most significant upgrades to the Tech 10 performance are unique technologies: The Frontal Flexion Control Frame, the Asymmetrical Dual-pivot Arms, the patented Dynamic Heel Compression Protection Shock Absorber which is integrated into a redesigned foot shell and the slimmer, more streamlined, outsole
• New material composites have been created that are lighter in weight and more durable to ensure they hold up to the rigors of off-road riding. The new, cold-forged, aluminum buckles are a result with an easier to operate, more durable and self-aligning closure that offer a positive hold across the upper surfaces of the boot. The result has yielded over 400 grams (almost 1lb) in weight reduction for the new Tech 10
• The design also reduces the Tech 10’s profile and physical size. It is more streamlined with newer, lighter, more durable composite materials and a more integrated approach to the construction of the components which dynamically enhance the chassis of the boot and utilize more advanced bonding processes
• Asymmetrical medial and lateral double pivot system for improved levels of flexibility and precision for both independent and synchronized movement
• Constructed from a dual density compound and combined with the rear blade system
• Double pivot system allows the Tech 10 to retain its integrity while flexing
• Energy dissipating shin plate features a new anatomic design for reduced surface area and weight-saving
• Exclusive dual-compound sole is seamlessly integrated to the multi-density foot base structure with built-in support
• Foot shell features five different compounds in a single lightweight piece to offer strength while maintaining flexibility and structural integrity
• Innovative flexion inserts work seamlessly with new flex support system for ultimate in performance
• Low-profile, pull-on design for reduce material build, less weight and to facilitate easier and quicker wearing
• Poly-fabric lining with 3D open cell foam incorporates anti-slip suede in heel area, keeping the foot located inside the boot
• Provides a complete and seamless flexion control system, from the foot shell all the way up to the shin plate
• Redesigned dual density Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) rear blade system engineered to prevent hyper-extension while offering improved flex control and impact resistance
• TPU protection and shock absorbing padding on the heel and ankles
• Ankle control system developed in the outer shell construction, allowing natural ankle movement, vertical compression control and improved impact protection
• Asymmetrical, dual pivot arms on boot frame
• Chassis combines advanced lightweight microfiber and impact and abrasion resistant TPU shell
• Closure system features contra-closure, doubling closure security and a quick release/locking system with self-aligning, memory, design for easy, precise closure and improved riding performance and security
• Combines dual front and rear blade connectors
• Completely redesigned sole with proprietary grip sculpturing to improve foot-peg performance, grip and mud and water run-off
• Contoured TPU calf protector plate offers impact resistance
• Dynamic Heel Compression Protector (DHCP), an innovative safety feature which includes a fully integrated collapsible heel area with expanded poly-foam to absorb high impact energies during a crash
• Engineered to 'float' freely between the lower and upper boot construction
• Patented technology features lighter, anatomically redesigned medial and lateral torsion arms
• Slim-line buckles include high-impact bridge closures which are cold forged for precision and strength
• Soft microfiber gaiter helps seal out excessive water and dirt entry
• Soles and buckles are easily replaceable
