Thread: New Boots

Is that an inner boot that I see in there?

BTW, those don't really match your pink jacket too well.

Website here: XPD - motorcycle boots


This is what it says about the internal bits on the XP5-R

Top performance XPD racing boot. Takes on the XP5 technical specifics, plus features exclusive AGS system, an internal ankle protection device able to reduce damages and torsions in case of crash.

BTW, those don't really match your pink jacket too well.

What pink jacket

Nice looking boots. Never heard of them. Write us up review.

I stumbled across them a year ago or so and thought they looked nice, they are apparently more popular outside the U.S. The review might be a moot point since the only place that is listed as a U.S. distributor now has them on closeout and lists them as a discontinued item. They have other models that are steps down from these. The next step down looks identical but doesn't have the inner hardware (XP5) Then they have a step down from there that was priced around $200 that seemed fairly similar to something like a SIDI B2 (XP3). Below that they have some other options but you would have to check the website.

Sweet those look nice! Be sure to give a report after you use them, discontinued or not I say!!!

I just placed a pre-order for the new 2008 Alpinestars Supertechs - Camo. Don't ship until mid-Feb though. =(

Got the boots in last week. They look pretty good. They aren't quite as stiff as I expected them to be, but my only experience with MC boots are MX boots so maybe they are all like this. I expected a little more stiffness. The internal ankle device will add quite a bit of abrasion resistance on a side slide but I don't think it is stiff enough to actually make much difference in ankle flexion or extension like they claim. I like the overall "fit and finish" quite a bit. When it warms up I'll update.
