Alpinestars Tech 10 Motocross Boots

The Tech 10 has set the standard for Motocross boot performance and protection for well over a decade. The completely redesigned Tech 10 boot raises the performance envelope even further: Perfection through innovation; while maintaining the iconic Tech 10 look, the new boot represents an entirely new approach - improving its ability to give a rider the ultimate in feel, comfort and safety.

Features:

A breakthrough innovation for the Tech 10 is the introduction of Alpinestars patented Frontal Flex Frame.
The complete and seamless flexion control system features an engineered frontal flexion control offered by a dual-density TPU connector system.
The Tech 10 design is slimmer and more streamlined with a contoured calf protector ergonomically wrapping around the rear leg.
Completely re-designed sole with proprietary grip sculpturing to improve foot-peg performance, grip and mud and water run-off.
Exclusive dual compound sole is seamlessly integrated to the multi-density foot base structure with built-in support.
The central sole insert features micro grip and side hooking grip design. It is easily replaceable and Alpinestars offers a full sole replacement and boot repair service.
Anatomically optimized re-designed for weight-saving and ergonomics, the new triple buckle closure system features a nylon and fiberglass compound for improved durability and strength.
All buckles are easily replaceable.
The Tech 10 chassis combines advanced lightweight microfiber and impact and abrasion resistant TPU shell.
Foot shell features five different compounds in a single lightweight piece to offer strength while maintaining flexibility and structural integrity.
Foot shell incorporates heel and toe protection that is highly resistant to abrasion and impact and adds to the boot’s overall durability.
Frontal protection features a dual closure system with an internal microfiber flap, plus hook and loop fasteners for a precise fit closure beneath the buckle giving greater, micro-adjustable, precision which is convenient to operate.
Soft microfiber gaiter helps seal out excessive water and dirt entry.
Poly-fabric lining with 3D open cell foam incorporates anti-slip suede in heel area, keeping the foot located inside the boot.

Specifications:

ankle control system:

developed in the outer shell construction, allowing natural ankle movement, vertical compression control and improved impact protection.
Asymmetrical medial and lateral double pivot system.
redesigned dual density TPU rear blade system.
engineered to prevent hyperextension while offering improved flex control and impact resistance.

DCHP – unique heel protection innovation:

Built into the Tech 10’s unique and lightweight single-piece co-injected foot chassis is the patented 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.
DCHP features a directional impact protection system which significantly reduces the effect of excessive, potentially injury-causing, energy being transferred to the ankle and lower leg.
DHCP has been used by Alpinestars athletes in the demanding environments of professional Supercross and Motocross.

New inner ankle brace:

Lighter, anatomically redesigned medial and lateral torsion arms which are compact and offer increased range of movement and control.
In conjunction with the outer boot chassis, the ankle brace gives vertical and lateral protection from ankle and leg compression and rotation and progressive damping of torsional forces during an accident, while still allowing natural freedom of movement.
Double pivot system allows the Tech 10 to retain its integrity while flexing which removes the need for alternative torsion bars for varying ankle widths and crucially gives the essential progressive resistance to rotational and vertical forces which, otherwise, are so damaging to ankles, knees, upper legs and pelvis if not arrested in a controlled way.
New low-profile design for reduce material build, less weight and to facilitate easier and quicker wearing.
Innovative flexion inserts work seamlessly with new Tech 10’s flex support system for ultimate in performance.
TPU protection and shock absorbing padding on the heel and ankles and an ultra-thin and flexible forefoot area for increased sensitivity and control.
Dual compound removable anatomic footbed includes EVA for comfort and support and aids even weight distribution.
