The New Supertech R is the ultimate race boot
New high performance/racing boot, constructed with hi-tech micro-fiber,
designed to meet light weight and performance requirements in top level
racing.
Supremely protective, flexible and comfortable design offering
excellent aerodynamic performance, fit and feel with the bike and
specifically positioned ventilation to aid airflow through the boot.
Specially developed TPU external protective profiles continue
Alpinestars philosophy of giving optimum impact protection.
Side opening/exit zip with stretch bellows panel edge to ensure
close fit and ease of access and removal. Security and adjustability is
further improved with internal Velcro which ensures a tight, non-slip,
connection between surfaces.
Micro adjustable ratchet top closure for added precision and security around the calf.
External shin protection wraps around to cover calf and is
shaped to dissipate impact energy across the entire surface while
ensuring ease of movement and compact profile. Vented sections promote
airflow into the boot to keep the riders foot at an ambient
temperature.
External heel protection counter is profiled to provide
excellent protection with no impediment to comfort. It also features a
vent to aid airflow to the riders foot.
Front flex area is constructed with a soft TPU mesh to allow
flexibility and abrasion resistance with specifically shaped relief's
to allow better forward and rear movements.
Achilles flex area wraps around the lateral and medial sides of the protective heel structure and allows natural movement.
Top gaiter is constructed with high-grade synthetic which is
soft, flexible and follows the contour of the leg. The inner side is
over-injected TPU which gives a secure grip surface with a leather
suit.
Full length suede leather panel on the inner side of the boot
provides a very clean, flat surface for excellent grip and feel against
the bike and adds protection from abrasion and heat.
Technical lightweight sole features a specific rubber compound
which gives excellent grip and feel while allowing natural flex as the
rider changes position and pressure on the foot-peg.
Special, lightweight, toe shifter gives feel and protection for changing gear and preventing pinching over the toes.
Replaceable TPU heel plate slider and integrated side insert
give highly effective impact protection and reduce friction in the
event of a fall.
Exchangeable, clip-on, toe-slider gives good feel and protects
the outer toe box structure from abrasion (upgradeable with a magnesium
slider)
The SUPERTECH R boot is CE certified.
Separate internal biomechanical ankle brace works with the outer
structure of the boot to form a protective system allowing full and
free movement of the foot, ankle and leg. New research has produced
re-profiled double hinged inner and outer torsion bars to give greater
impact protection of the ankle and progressively absorb flex and
rotation stress, reducing pressure and hyper-extension injury to the
lower leg joints.
The inner ankle brace is constructed with fibreglass charged
polyamide and ergonomically designed closed cell padding to give
protection and comfort.
Alpinestars exclusive lasting process has developed the Supertech R's
fit and feel characteristics to an even greater level, ensuring the
inner structure allows the rider maximum feedback from the bike.
Specially developed polyamide compound mouldings give impact protection while retaining the ease of natural skeletal movement.
Speed lace closure ensures rapid and accurate entry and exit and with micro-adjustability, ensures perfect fitting and security.
