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
Heel Cup:
The new heel cup has been designed to absorb shock in the case of a rear compression
Toe-Box:
Updated slim toe box for greater shifting and braking feel of the bike
Toe Cap:
The toe cap has been redesigned and reinforced to provide a new tougher look
Sole:
This sole is new in look, but still uses the Gaerne Dual Composite anti-shock rubber that has made Gaerne soles famous around the world
Insole:
Inside the boot you will find a footbed that has been specially molded to correctly support the foot; in the rear portion of the footbed, a new shock absorbing material has been used; and in the front portion the construction has been made to allow the foot to vent
