The technology and feature-rich Eleveit apparel programme is the brainchild of a Treviso, Italy, manufacturer with over 30 years of experience in the boot and technical workshoe business with "Italian authenticity" engineered into every product.
The range includes race, touring, urban and café racer style boots and gloves, one-piece race suits and textile and leather jackets with removable CE certified protectors.
Seen here, the top-of-the-line RC Pro boot features Eleveit's proprietary Internal Protection Technology (IPT) - a new ankle protection system that is said to offer "an excellent balance between flexibility and protection".
"While not hampering the normal movements of the joint, it limits ankle movement at certain pre-defined points to prevent twisting beyond its natural limits. The IPT has an injected polyurethane structure with two flexure points and programmed restraint points. The excursion of the restraint points is pre-set to mechanically control lateral and longitudinal torsion of the ankle within its physical limits, preventing excessive torsion and therefore protecting the joints from possible injuries.
"The structure is sewn both to the upper and lower part of the upper and connected to the heel to guarantee excellent hold for the leg in the event of a fall. The IPT has an ergonomic form that is less bulky and gives the freedom of movement needed for riding while guaranteeing maximum protection".
The upper is in durable, lightweight microfibre with a breathable 3D soft touch mesh lining for superior comfort and internally there is an ergonomically designed polyurethane heel counter.
The Rear Closure System (R.C.S.) has a stretch panel for a close fit and ease of entrance and removal. "The combination of a shin plate and micro-adjustable ratchet top closure gives safe and precise calf protection and fit with rear zip made from TPU to reduce friction, offering an increased level of comfort and ensuring that the upper wraps around the foot, providing maximum fit, precision and sensitivity while riding". There is also an Eleveit designed lightweight, double compound and double colour rubber sole with a specific grip area.
