Alpinestars Tech 7S Youth Riding Boots
Engineered for junior riders (ages 8-16) and petite adults under 150 lbs, these boots combine ASTM-certified protection with adaptive mobility for off-road adventures.
Core Innovations
– Lightweight microfiber upper with PU reinforcement (abrasion resistance: 30% higher than standard leather)
– Climate-controlled interior: Open-cell foam + textile mesh lining (breathability improved by 40% vs conventional designs)
– Dual-density foot shell: 3mm hard TPU toe cap + dual-compound rubber outsole (twice the impact resistance of standard motocross boots)
Performance Highlights
✓ CE-certified protection (EN 13634:2010 Level 1) at shin/ankle zones
✓ Articulated flex zones at instep/heel (35° flex angle for precise pedal control)
✓ Quick-release buckle system with self-centering arms (secures in 2 seconds vs 5+ for traditional systems)
✓ Interchangeable components: Replaceable outsole (up to 3x lifespan) + anatomical footbed (customizable arch support)
Adventure-Ready Features
• Contoured shin armor with TPU honeycomb structure (absorbs 50% more impact energy than solid plates)
• Water-repellent gaiter extension (keeps feet dry in 2+ hours of wet trail riding)
• Low-profile pivot joints (reduces ankle strain by 25% compared to rigid designs)
