DSPS - Double Stage Pivot System
The innovative heart of the boot is the patented **DSPS** pivot system, which moves the pivot axis to a forward position relative to the ankle, eliminating damaging pressure, especially in the malleolus area. The 'Razorback' system is attached to the upper at two points to encourage the natural movement of the foot, with an end-stop that prevents unwanted extension or compression and absorbs shock. This protective synergy drastically reduces the risk of injury by effectively protecting the rear of the boot.
Toe Areas
The toe area is completely encased in shaped plastic material that follows the anatomical shape to offer greater comfort and sensitivity when changing gear. The protection, with variable thickness and density, guarantees safety in sensitive areas. The toe of the boot, equipped with a special decompression zone, performs an anti-shock function, reducing impact.
Stainless steel toe cap
The new stainless steel toe cap is resistant to deformation and rust, with special protrusions to protect the screws and facilitate replacement when necessary. A non-slip finish at the front provides additional safety while riding.
Heel Cup
The heel area is also designed for maximum shock protection, thanks to a special decompression between plastic and upper. The convex shape makes it easier to change gears with the heel, making starts easier.
Grip Guard
The inner boot is lined with two highly abrasion- and heat-resistant special rubber inserts, ensuring a perfect grip between rider and bike. The large surface also covers the fastening screws, protecting the boot from the heat of the muffler.
Front plate
The anatomically modelled PU plate is adjustable to suit the rider's needs. It can be moved laterally or obliquely to ensure a perfect fit on the calf or to make room for a knee pad.
Acronos collar
Made of elastic fibres with high resistance to abrasion and heat, the collar in **Acronos** ensures a perfect fit at the calf, preventing foreign bodies from entering. Waterproof, it guarantees comfort even in the most extreme conditions.
Interior Lining
Inside, comfort is maximum thanks to the **Memory Cell Interior Foam** technology, which adapts to the shape of the foot, guaranteeing stability and comfort. The upper part of the boot is lined with a breathable fabric that helps heat escape without compromising protection from external agents.
Buckles System
The buckle system consists of four adjustable and interchangeable light alloy levers with PU inserts that guarantee optimal grip. The individually adjustable straps allow a customised fit for each rider.
Sole
The new sole design, made of dual-composite material, is designed to offer exceptional grip on the footpegs, even in adverse weather conditions. The sole is oil, hydrocarbon and abrasion resistant, with a special decompression zone in the heel for an anti-shock effect.
Anatomical footbed
The footbed is designed to evenly distribute the weight of the body and adequately support the foot. Reinforced at the rear with shock-absorbing materials, the footbed is breathable, washable and ensures excellent grip with the sole of the boot.
In summary, the Gaerne SG-12 boots represent the ultimate in innovation and technology in the world of motocross boots, offering the rider the perfect combination of protection, comfort and advanced performance.
