ALPINESTARS SUPERTECH R BOOTS
Almost every element of Alpinestars' Supertech R boot, the top of the range racing boot worn by a large group of past and present champions, has undergone a rigorous improvement programme to further enhance its performance.
The result of innovations developed based on feedback from Alpinestars' participation in the most prestigious motorbike competitions, these improvements include a redesigned front flex area, a redesigned rear gusset, a redesigned upper gaiter, a new gear and shin reinforcement plate, a new shin pad and a new inner boot. These modifications improve the comfort, protection and performance of this boot, confirming it as the undisputed leader in its category.
