Motorcycle Boots Alpinestars Tech 10 Black/White 2022

The Motorcycle Boots Alpinestars Tech 10 Black/White 2022 set the standard for motocross boot performance and protection. While maintaining the iconic Tech 10 look, the new boot represents an entirely new approach – improving its ability to give a rider the ultimate in feel, comfort and safety. The Tech 10’s re-design has been guided by three priorities as the Alpinestars technical footwear development team looked to improve overall functionality, performance and safety, decrease weight and reduce material volume. The most significant upgrades to the Tech 10 performance are unique technologies: the Frontal Flexion Control Frame (combined with the dual front and rear blade connectors, the Frontal Flex Frame gives the Tech 10 a complete and seamless flexion control system, from the foot shell all the way up to the shin plate, offering high-performance double motion control, preventing over-compression and hyper-extension), the Asymmetrical Dual-pivot Arms (asymmetrical medial and lateral double pivot system for improved levels of flexibility and precision for both independent and synchronized movement, allowing natural ankle movement, vertical compression control and improved impact protection), the patented Dynamic Heel Compression Protection Shock Absorber (lightweight single-piece co-injected foot chassis that includes a fully integrated collapsible heel area with expanded poly-foam to absorb high impact energies during a crash. DCHP features a directional impact protection system that significantly reduces the effect of excessive, potentially injury-causing, energy being transferred to the ankle and lower leg) which is integrated into a redesigned foot shell and the slimmer, more streamlined, outsole.

One the Tech 10’s defining features is the redesigned biomechanical inner ankle brace; patented technology which features lighter, anatomically redesigned medial and lateral torsion arms which are compact and offer an increased range of movement and control. The Tech 10 design is slimmer and more streamlined with a contoured calf protector ergonomically wrapping around the rear leg. The boot also features a completely re-designed sole with proprietary grip sculpturing to improve foot-peg performance, grip and mud and water run-off. 

The new triple buckle closure system features a nylon and fiberglass compound for improved durability and strength. New slim-line buckles include high-impact bridge closures which are cold forged for precision and strength. The closure system features contra-closure, doubling closure security and a quick release/locking system with self-aligning, memory, design for easy, precise closure and improved riding performance and security. The foot shell features five different compounds in a single lightweight piece to offer strength while maintaining flexibility and structural integrity. Frontal protection features a dual closure system with an internal microfiber flap, plus hook and loop fasteners for a precise fit closure beneath the buckle.
