Assen, the Netherlands – Motocross of Nations is THE one event of the year where the world’s best motocross athletes have the chance to compete for glory, no matter what championship they are from – AMA Supercross, MXGP, National Championships – not only individually, but most importantly for the pride of the nations they represent. This is the “Olympics of Motocross” – this is the nations’ battle.
This year sees the spectacle head to the iconic Assen circuit for the first time, and to celebrate the occasion Alpinestars has created the Limited Edition ‘Nations 19’ Tech 10 boot. Featuring a vivid Fluro orange, Fluro yellow, white and blue colour scheme, the striking Limited Edition ‘Nations 19’ Tech 10 allows Motocross fans to bring the same look and performance of the top racers at the MXoN to their local track. Over 20 riders representing 14 different countries will be wearing the LE Nations 19 Tech 10 boot in Assen. Alpinestars has customized the flag depicted on the back of each Nations 19 boot for the country team that the rider represents.
The MXoN riders wearing the LE Nations 19 Tech 10 boot include: Netherlands: JEFFREY HERLINGS & GLENN COLDENHOFF, Great Britain: NATHAN WATSON, Australia: DEAN FERRIS, USA: JASON ANDERSON & JUSTIN COOPER, Belgium: JAGO GEERTS & JEREMY VAN HOREBEEK, Austria: RENE HOFER, MICHAEL SANDNER, Ireland: MARTIN BARR, New Zealand: WYATT CHASE, Puerto Rico: JUSTIN STARLING & CHASE MARQUIER, Switzerland: JEREMY SEEWER & VALENTIN GUILLOD, Portugal: HUGO BASAULA, South Africa: ANTHONY RAYNARD & MICHAEL DOCHERTY, Italy: IVO MONTICELLI, and Denmark: STEFAN KJER OLSEN.
The CE-certified Tech 10 is a technologically advanced and protective boot that incorporates innovative materials and technology in a streamlined design for a lighter, more anatomically profiled performer. The ‘Nations 19’ blends the performance properties of the Tech 10 in an eye-catching colourway that ensures riders will stand out from the crowd every time they hit the dirt.
DESCRIPTION
The Tech 10 has set a top standard for Motocross boot performance and protection for well over a decade and for summer 2018 the completely redesigned Tech 10 boot raises the performance envelope even further. Perfection through innovation; while maintaining the iconic Tech 10 look, the new boot represents a completely new approach – improving its ability to give a rider the ultimate in feel, comfort and safety.
Reduced Weight:
The Tech 10 is lighter, a result of Alpinestars technicians studying all of the boot components and the way in which the boot comes together. A re-design of every single one of those components has been undertaken to reduce volume and weight.
New material composites have been created that are lighter in weight and more durable to ensure they hold up to the rigours of off-road riding. The new, cold-forged, aluminium buckles are a result with an easier to operate, more durable and self-aligning closure that offer a positive hold across the upper surfaces of the boot. The result has yielded over 400 grams (almost 1lb) in weight reduction for the new Tech 10.
Enhanced Functionality, Performance and Safety:
The Tech 10’s comfort is legendary and a key feature in making the boot a pleasure to wear in all conditions. A key objective was maintaining the boot’s feel while enhancing its performance, functionality and safety.
The most obvious upgrades to the Tech 10 performance are unique technologies: The Frontal Flexion Control Frame, the Asymmetrical Dual-pivot Arms, the original Dynamic Heel Compression Protection Shock Absorber which is integrated into a redesigned foot shell and the slimmer, more streamlined, outsole.
Reduced Material Volume:
The design also reduces the Tech 10’s profile and physical size. It is more streamlined with newer, lighter, more durable composite materials and a more integrated approach to the construction of the components which dynamically enhance the chassis of the boot and utilize more advanced bonding processes.
