Alpinestars Supertech R Limited Edition Kenny Roberts Senior

Alpinestars launches its new Limited Edition of one of its iconic boots, the Supertech R, this time as a tribute to the American ex-pilot Kenny Roberts Senior. This pilot has been cataloged as one of the best riders in the history of motorcycling. Behind his back are a lot of awards that he has been getting throughout his professional career.

Forged in the circuits, the Supertech R are the reference high level sports boots of Alpinestars, and benefit from the improvements made thanks to the comments and observations of the MotoGP elite pilots and the SBK World Championship. The latest version of the Supertech incorporates a redesigned internal booty made with 3D technical mesh that reduces the weight of the boot while greatly improving perspiration, comfort and sensations.

PREMIUM MANUFACTURE:

• Front flexion area made with soft TPU mesh with reliefs with shape for resistance to abrasion and increased movement from bow to stern.
• Leather in flexible accordion in the Achilles heel allows a natural movement.
• The upper gaiter follows the contour of the leg and is made of high-grade flexible synthetic leather reinforced with rubber to maintain shape.
• Full-length microfibre panel on the inner side of the boot provides excellent grip and feel to the bike and protects from abrasion and heat.
• The lightweight rubber compound outsole offers excellent grip and feel and allows natural flex when the driver changes position and pressure on the footrests.
• Changer in the fingers light and flexible allows a good touch when we change gear.
• Strategically placed heel ventilation and TPU shin, and soft TPU mesh on the front of the foot that guides the air through the boot.
• The external entrance / exit has an extendable leather panel in accordion for a tight closure and easy entry and exit of the foot. Zipper closure has a Velcro tab to lock the zipper closed and kept flat.
• Top closure by micro-adjustable ratchet stores the end of the tongue inside the calf in TPU.
• The full sole of the Supertech R boot is replaceable.

INNOVATIVE INTERNAL PROTECTOR:

• The bio-mechanical reinforcement of the ankle has a double-jointed interior and external torsion bars that progressively absorb the tension of flexion and rotation in the ankle and reduces pressure injury and hyper extension in the joints of the lower part of the leg.
• Reinforcement on the inside of the ankle made of polyamide filled with fiberglass and ergonomically designed, with closed cell padding for protection and comfort.
• Molds with polyamide compound around the insole provide protection against impacts.
• Made of lightweight and breathable 3D technical mesh for a comfort if rival

MOTOGP DERIVATIVE PROTECTIONS:

• TPU outer shin protection that wraps around the outer calf and is designed to spread and dissipate the impact energy across the surface while staying compact. Ventilated sections that promote air flow inside the boot. +
• Separate internal reinforcement that works with the outside of the boot to form a protective system.
• "Clip-on" fingers slider that provides touch and protects the structure of the external tip from abrasion. (Spare parts of magnesium sliders available).
• Heel slipper in replaceable TPU protects from impacts and reduces friction in case of accident.
