Description
The most significant performance enhancements to the Tech 10 are unique technologies: The Front Flex Control Frame, Dual Pivot Asymmetrical Arms, the patented Dynamic Heel Compression Protection Shock Absorber that is integrated into a redesigned foot shell, and the thinner, more contoured outsole.New composite materials have been created that are lighter and more durable to ensure they stand up to the rigors of off-road riding. New cold-forged aluminum buckles are the result of an easier-to-use, more durable, self-aligning closure that provides a positive hold on the upper surfaces of the boot. The result is a weight reduction of more than 400 grams for the new Tech 10, as well as a reduction in the profile and physical size of the Tech 10. It is more streamlined thanks to new, lighter and more durable composite materials and a more integrated approach to component construction that dynamically enhances the boot's chassis and uses more advanced bonding processes.Asymmetrical medial and lateral dual pivot system for improved levels of flexibility and precision for independent and synchronized movementBuilt from a dual density compound and combined with the rear blade systemThe dual pivot system allows the Tech 10 to maintain its integrity while flexingThe energy dissipating tibial plate features a new anatomical design for reduced surface area and weight savings.Exclusive dual composition sole is seamlessly integrated into the multi-density footbed structure with built-in supportThe foot shell includes five different compositions in one lightweight piece to provide strength while maintaining flexibility and structural integrityInnovative flex inserts work seamlessly with the new flex support system for optimal performanceLow profile, Polyfiber lining with 3D open cell foam and non-slip suede in the heel to keep the foot inside the shoeProvides a complete and seamless flex control system, Complete, seamless flex control system from the foot shell to the shin guardDual density thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) back blade system designed to prevent hyperextension while providing better flex control and impact resistanceTPU protection and shock absorbing cushioning in the heel and anklesAnkle control system developed in the outer shell construction, allowing for natural ankle movement, vertical compression control and improved impact protectionAsymmetrical, dual pivoting arms on the boot frameChassis combining advanced lightweight microfiber with an impact and abrasion resistant TPU shellClosing system with counter closure, doubling the security of the closure and a quick release/locking system with self-alignment, memory design, for easy, precise closure and enhanced performance and safetyFront and rear dual blade connector combinationFully redesigned sole with exclusive traction tread to enhance footbed performance,Contoured TPU calf protection plate provides impact resistanceDynamic Heel Compression Protection (DHCP), an innovative safety feature that includes a fully integrated collapsible heel area with expanded polyurethane foam to absorb high impact energies during a collision,Patented technology includes lighter, anatomically redesigned medial and lateral torque armsFine buckles include high-impact bridge closures that are cold-forged for precision and strengthFlexible microfiber gaiter helps prevent excessive water and dirt entrySoles and buckles are easily replaceable
