Gaerne SG-12 High Performance Boots. Made in Italy Two years in the making, we are proud to introduce the all new SG-12 from Gaerne. The Gaerne team thrives to be the best, and is always looking for new ways to make a better product by always listening to their professional riders for valuable feedback. It's this attention to detail coupled with only the best top quality materials which translates into the best boot with the most value. Now, let us dig into the guts of the NEW SG-12 which leads the way with many innovative features that you will only find at Gaerne. Introducing the Dual Pivot System: This revolutionary new system is patented and exclusive to Gaerne and is certainly going to be a hit. The first pivot is attached to the "razorback". Razorback: This provides a rigid component that offers a strong lateral support while a glideplate keeps the upper in a firm and upright position. GAITER: Made of a new Swiss breathable fabric called ACRONOS, the gaiter is extremely stretchy but has the perfect shape to keep the sand and debris out. TOE CAP: All new shape. The toecap has been re-designed and reinforced to provide tougher performance. HEEL CUP:The new heel cup has been designed to absorb shock in the case of a rear compression. TOE BOX: This new design features a slimmer shape in the toe area for an improved feel of the shift lever and the bikes controls. The entire area is wrapped by a new plastic material which is lighter and provides more comfort and feel for the bike as well. FRONT PLATE (aka Shin Guard): This new thermoplastic shin plate is anatomically shaped for a perfect fit. By removing three screws a rider can also make the opening wider to accommodate a bigger leg or knee-brace. BUCKLE SYSTEM: The SG-12 utilizes four lightweight alloy buckles that attach to an adjustable strap. This is a "tried and true" system that provides the rider "easy in" and "easy out" non failure system. Keeping it simple! GRIP GUARD: On the inner side of the boot is the all new rubber "grip guard". You can feel the exceptional grip of the bike, as well as offering a heat resistant padding against your inner leg. While this boot was developed for the Motocross / SuperCross circuit it considered one of the most protective and feature packed boots for Adventure Riding and Dual-Sport Riding. |
