Alpinestars – Tech 7 LE Hay Boots

Packed with innovative materials, technology and design features, the Tech 7 has been completely overhauled to ensure exceptional off-road performance in the dirt. Engineered to be lighter, more comfortable and more protective than ever, the Tech 7 Boots deliver exceptional feel on the bike.

Key Features:

• The TPU lower shell features an innovative design on the shifter area for reduced front roll and easy shift lever control, with a dedicated design for the left and right foot. This area is further strengthened with a metal shank and is reinforced on the toe zone for impact and abrasion resistance.
• Equipped with a medial and lateral double pivot system for improved levels of flexibility and precision control.
• Dedicated design on the medial side wall for improving the feel, support, and grip on the bike, while increasing the protection and durability of the boot.
• New contoured TPU calf protector plate offers effective impact resistance.
• The main flexion of the boot is supported around the medial and lateral ankle by a low profile pivot system for superior freedom of movement and rider comfort.
• The front flexion zone features new innovative shock absorbing inserts in the front bellow zone for progressive support.
• Shock absorbing padding is also strategically positioned on the ankles and shin plate for increased impact absorption.
• New strap holder design offers maximum rotation and functionality, while reducing excessive rotation.
• The sole is made with an innovative wear limit indicator embedded in the foot peg area. This layer displays a red layer alerting the rider when the sole is worn out and needs replacing.
• The boot structure beneath the wear limit indicator is surrounded by a Kevlar layer that maintains the structure and integrity of the boot while also protecting the boot.

Construction:

• The closure system includes polymer buckles plus an aluminum frame with self-aligning, quick release closures for a customized secure fitment.
• The buckle receiver is engineered to be self-aligning, guaranteeing a secure fit while preventing strap rotation.
