Gaerne SG.12, the off-road boot is now in a limited edition

Gaerne SG.12 – Gaerne launches a limited edition of the top of the range off-road boot, the new SG.12. This time with a new special livery, the “SG.12 Grey-Yellow Fluo Limited Edition”, which features a modern design characterized by the satin gray color and ultra cool yellow fluo details. This new limited edition will be available at Gaerne retailers from the beginning of August and the price is 514,90 euros.

This boot was born from the studies and projects of the Gaerne Research and Development Center and from the close collaboration with champions and athletes. The new Gaerne SG.12 is characterized by the DSPS – DOUBLE STAGE PIVOT SYSTEM, a patented system which involves moving the rotation axis of the boot to an advanced and elevated position with respect to the rotation axis of the ankle, thus allowing any compression to be eliminated, particularly in the ankle area. The new protective element called "Razorback" is anchored to the upper in two points. The first anchorage is fixed at the rotation point of the boot, while the second is fixed on a mobile slot which facilitates the natural flexion movement of the foot, providing a stop in both directions in order to avoid unwanted extensions or compressions and cushion any shocks. The “Razorback” has been designed to be synergistic with the other elements of the boot and, thanks to a particular appendage that slides inside a special pocket, it strongly limits lateral movements which are one of the most frequent causes of injuries.

The new Gaerne SG.12 also features a new single-body toe cap in stainless steel, non-deformable and anti-rust. Protrusions have been created positioned perpendicular to the axis of the tip which have the function of protecting the screws used for its fixing in order to avoid any impediment to rubbing and guarantee easy replacement of the piece at any time. The front has been given a special non-slip finish. A special shape has also been designed for the heel area which has anti-shock functionality thanks to a decompression area between the plastic and the upper. The special convex shape allows the rider to easily engage the gear with the heel when starting. On the internal part, the leg is almost completely covered with two inserts made of a special rubber which guarantees total adhesion between the rider and the motorbike and has strong resistance to abrasion. The covered surface is very large in order to protect the boot from the heat released by the muffler, furthermore, the special rubber covers all the screws used for fixing.
