The Alpinestars Tech 7 S boot is specifically designed and sized for junior and/or smaller framed riders and incorporates innovative materials and technology in a completely new design for a lighter, more anatomically profiled performer. With class-leading protection and innovative performance features such as a pivot system for movement and flexibility, the Tech 7S is built to withstand the toughest terrains. Made from PU-reinforced microfibre upper for flexibility, abrasion resistance, water resistance and weight-saving. It ensures a consistent fit and is easy to maintain and clean. An extended microfibre gaiter helps seal out excessive water and dirt entry. Soft poly foam reinforcement at the ankles and collar gives long-lasting comfort and shock absorption. The Tech 7 S boots provide excellent flexion with a low-profile medial and lateral pivot system to offer movement and support. The instep and Achilles accordion flex zones are constructed for superior control and support. A compound sole is seamlessly integrated into the base structure for exceptional durability, high-performing rubber grip patterning, and feel. Plus, the sole is replaceable. A removable anatomic footbed provides comfort and support, ensuring even weight distribution. Alpinestars' buckle closure system incorporates polymer and fibreglass buckle arms and high-impact aluminium bridge closures, giving durability and weight savings. This buckle system features memory and a quick release/locking system with a self-aligning design for easy, precise closure and improved riding performance and security. All buckles are easily replaceable. The Tech 7S offer superior protection with an injected contoured shin plate made from high-modulus TPU for excellent levels of impact and abrasion resistance. The medial-facing side incorporates a TPU panel with specially designed sculpturing for maximum grip contact with the bike and improved heat and abrasion resistance. A one-piece injected dual compound foot shell with a co-injected hard toe protector and integrated steel shank. The shell is highly resistant to abrasion and impact, adds to the boot's overall durability, improves the boot's streamlining, and is CE-certified to EN 13634:2010.
