This revolutionary new system is patented and exclusive to Gaerne and is certainly going to be a hit; the first pivot is attached to the “Razorback”; this provides a rigid component that offers a strong lateral support while a glide-plate keeps the upper in a firm and upright position; the second pivot is fixed on a sliding glide that allows the rider’s foot to feel natural while on the peg in a shifting or breaking situation, however, it will “bottom out” and absorb shock in the case of over-jumping a jump or in the case of unwanted compression
Grip Guard:
On the inner side of the boot is the rubber “Grip Guard”; you can feel the exceptional grip of the bike, as well as offering a heat-resistant padding against your inner leg; improved for abrasion resistance
Front Plate/Shin Guard:
This thermoplastic shin plate is anatomically shaped for a perfect fit; by removing three screws, a rider can also make the opening wider to accommodate a bigger leg or knee-brace
Buckle System:
The SG-12 utilizes four lightweight alloy buckles that attach to an adjustable strap; this system provides the rider an “Easy in” and “Easy out” non-failure system
Gaiter:
Made of a Swiss breathable fabric called Acronos, the gaiter is extremely stretchy but has the perfect shape to keep the sand and debris out
Interior Lining:
On the inside you will find the famous Gaerne Memory Cell Foam, known for the most comfortable feel and fit ride after ride

The new heel cup has been designed to absorb shock in the case of a rear compression
Toe-Box:

Sole:
