Gaerne SG22 Motocross Boot Anthracite/Red

The brand-new SG22s are a direct evolution of the SG12 boots, Gaerne’s iconic top-of-the-range product. The SG22s are already on the feet of the motocross and enduro riders who wore the SG12s: Romain Febvre, Andrea Verona, Zach Pichon, and even the entire Honda Enduro Factory team. But what do these newcomers offer over the old models? Well, let’s do a quick summary: they are lighter, the distance between the sole and the shifter guard has been reduced, and they are easier to put on. Is that not enough for you? Fine, let’s take a closer look at the Gaerne SG22s. For these new top-of-the-range boots, the Venetian technicians have remodeled the entire body, adopting a new style. The shell of the Gaerne SG22 has only one junction on the body, positioned on the outside near the closure lever. This feature allows for a reduction in the distance between the sole and the upper shifter guard area, making the boot quicker to put on. We mentioned the closure system; the Aluminium Superlight Buckles have been the subject of in-depth studies and feature a series of improvements. At first glance, they stand out due to their new painted finish with visible details, but we are not just talking about aesthetics, as evidenced by the upper closure lever, which can now be adjusted to three positions. In addition to the adjustment of the strap and the upper lever, the new Frontal Shin Guard can also be adjusted to two positions. The idea is to make the fit of the boot completely customizable. In fact, with "only" these modifications, the possible configurations for the Gaerne SG22 are as many as twelve. In the area of the frontal plate, we find air intakes complete with 3D channels designed to create gaps in order to simplify dehumidification and dissipate heat.
