The new SG-12 off-road motorcycle boot from Gaerne incorporates a patented "revolutionary new dual stage pivot system". The first pivot is attached to the "Razorback" and provides a rigid component that offers strong lateral support; a glide plate keeps the upper in a firm and upright position. The second pivot is fixed on a sliding glide that allows the rider's foot to feel in a natural position while on the footpeg in shifting or breaking mode - it will also "bottom out" and absorb shock when "over-jumping", or in case of unwanted compression.
The all new rubber "Grip Guard" offers heat-resistant padding against the inner leg, and a new thermoplastic shin plate is anatomically shaped for a perfect fit. By removing three screws, the rider can also make the opening wider to accommodate a bigger leg or knee brace. The SG-12 utilises four lightweight alloy buckles that attach to an adjustable strap - a "tried and tested" system that gives the rider an easy-in/easy-out non-failure system.
Made of a new Swiss breathable fabric called Acronos, the gaiter is extremely stretchy, but has the perfect shape to keep sand and debris out. On the inside is the famous "Gaerne Memory Cell Foam", known for its comfortable feel and fit. The new heel cup has been designed to absorb shock in case of rear compression, and a new toe box design features a slimmer shape in the toe area for an improved feel of the shift lever and bike controls. The entire area is wrapped by a new plastic material, which is lighter and provides improved comfort and feel.
The all new shaped toe cap has been redesigned and reinforced to "provide a new and "tougher" look". The sole of the SG-12 has a new design but still uses the Gaerne "Dual Composite" anti-shock rubber that has made Gaerne soles well regarded by riders everywhere. Inside the boot is an all-new footbed, which has been specially moulded to correctly support the foot, and in the rear portion of the footbed, a new shock-absorbing material has been used for ventilation built-in at the front.
Colour options are black, white, blue, green, orange, yellow, red.
