Choices create champions, but support is what keeps them at the top, which is why the SG-12 boot is The choice for riders who aspire to rise above the competition. From box to bike with minimal break-in, Gaerne’s SG-12 boots are made in Italy by practiced hands that step-by-step layer support, security, and comfort into each boot. The premium SG-12 offers a streamlined toe box for precision control, a dual-stage pivot system for more aggressive riders, an anti-shock composite sole for better connection to the pegs, slimline inner grip guard panels for better control and grip of the bike, memory foam interior for a customized fit, and an adjustable shin plate for more room around the calves. Our buckle system makes it easy to get in and get going, so a rider can focus less on gear and more on the ride.

Features:

  • Dual Stage Pivot System - This revolutionary new system is patented and exclusive to Gaerne and is certainly going to be a hit. The first pivot is attached to the "Razorback". This provides a rigid component that offers strong lateral support while a glide-plate keeps the upper in a firm and upright position. The second pivot is fixed on a sliding glide that allows the riders foot to feel natural while on the peg in a shifting or breaking situation. However, it will "bottom out" and absorb shock in the case of over-jumping a jump or in the case of unwanted compression.
  • Grip Guard - On the inner side of the boot is the all-new rubber "Grip Guard". You can feel the exceptional grip of the bike, as well as offering a heat resistant padding against your inner leg.
  • Front Plate/Shin Guard - This new Thermoplastic shin plate is anatomically shaped for a perfect fit. By removing three screws a rider can also make the opening wider to accommodate a bigger leg or knee-brace.
  • Buckle system - The SG-12 utilizes four lightweight alloy buckles that attach to an adjustable strap. This is a "Tried and True" system that provides the rider "Easy in" and "Easy out" non-failure system. Keeping it simple!
  • Gaiter - Made of a new Swiss breathable fabric called Acronos, the gaiter is extremely stretchy but has the perfect shape to keep the sand and debris out.
  • Interior Lining - On the inside you will find the famous "Gaerne Memory Cell Foam" --Known for the most comfortable feel and fit ride after ride.
  • Heel Cup - The new Heel cup has been designed to absorb shock in the case of a rear compression--It also doubles as a nice place to showcase the new "G" logo !!
  • Toe-Box - This new design features a slimmer shape in the toe area for an improved feel of the shift lever and the bike's controls. The entire area is wrapped by a new plastic material which is lighter and provides more comfort and feel for the bike as well.
  • Toe cap - The all-new shape --the toecap has been re-designed and reinforced to provide a new "tougher" look.
  • Sole - For the SG-12 you will notice a new design. This sole is new in look, but still uses the Gaerne "Dual Composite" anti-shock rubber that has made Gaerne soles famous around the world.
  • Insole - Inside the boot, you will find an all-new foot-bed which has been specially molded to correctly support the foot. In the rear portion of the foot-bed, new shock-absorbing material has been used. And in the front portion, the construction has been made to allow the foot to vent.
