In the unforgiving world of motocross, where split-second decisions and millimetre-perfect landings separate champions from casualties, the quality of your protective gear isn't just about comfort – it's about survival. The latest offering from Alpinestars, their completely redesigned MX boot collection, represents a quantum leap forward in what riders can expect from protective footwear, particularly with their flagship Tech 7 and legendary Tech 10 models.
For those who have been following the evolution of motocross protection, this new collection builds significantly on the foundation laid by previous generations, with improvements that address the primary concerns that have plagued riders for decades: the eternal compromise between protection and feel, weight versus durability, and comfort against performance.
The MX Collection: A Complete Reimagining
The new Alpinestars MX boot range isn't just another incremental upgrade – it's a complete reimagining of what motocross boots can be. 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.
This collection includes new designs for the Supertech, Techstar, Racer, Fluid, and Stella gear sets as well as the Tech 10 and Tech 7 boots. But it's the revolutionary engineering behind these boots that truly sets them apart from everything that came before.
Tech 7: The Complete Overhaul That Changes Everything
The crown jewel of the this collection is undoubtedly the completely redesigned Tech 7. This isn't simply a cosmetic refresh – every component has been re-engineered from the ground up to deliver superior performance across every metric that matters to serious riders.
Enhanced Protection Without Weight Penalty
Key features include a redesigned TPU lower shell with a reinforced shifter area, a double pivot system for improved flexibility, and shock-absorbing inserts for enhanced impact resistance. The reinforced shifter area addresses one of the most common failure points in motocross boots, where repeated gear changes can cause premature wear and potential safety compromises.
Improved Ergonomics for Better Bike Feel
One of the most significant improvements in the new Tech 7 is the focus on ergonomics. Ergonomically profiled lower toe-box to provide easier shifting means riders can now enjoy more precise gear changes without the bulky feel that has historically plagued protective footwear. This improvement translates directly to better bike control and improved lap times.
More supportive and protective exoskeleton, while maintaining out-of-the-box comfort and flexibility. The new design philosophy ensures that riders don't need to choose between protection and performance – they can have both.
Tech 10: Setting the Standard Even Higher
The Tech 10 has set the standard for Motocross boot performance and protection for well over a decade now, with an ongoing focus on product development and innovation that continues to raise the performance envelope higher and higher. This version continues this legacy with subtle but significant improvements that build upon its already legendary reputation.
The Tech 10's proven track record includes protecting countless professional riders through their most challenging races, and the new iteration maintains all the features that made it legendary while incorporating lessons learned from years of real-world testing.
Impact Protection: Where Science Meets Safety
Shock Absorbing Inserts: Progressive support in the front flexion zone with shock-absorbing inserts in the ankles and shin plate for increased impact absorption. This progressive support system means that the boot responds proportionally to the force applied – providing flexibility for normal riding movements while becoming increasingly rigid as impact forces increase.
This technology represents a fundamental shift in how motocross boots handle impact. Rather than simply being rigid barriers, these boots now actively manage energy transfer, reducing the forces transmitted to the rider's feet and legs during crashes or hard landings.
