Key Features
- Reduced Weight: The Tech 10 is lighter, with redesigned components and new material composites that reduce volume and weight. The new, cold-forged aluminum buckles are easier to operate and more durable, contributing to a 400-gram weight reduction.
- Reduced Material Volume: The Tech 10 has a streamlined profile with lighter, more durable composite materials. The construction enhances the boot’s chassis, using advanced bonding processes.
- Unparalleled Flex Control: The Tech 10 features Alpinestars’ patented Frontal Flex Frame, which offers a complete flexion control system, preventing over-compression and hyper-extension. The dual-density TPU connector system and asymmetrical dual pivot arms improve flexibility and precision.
- New Inner Ankle Brace: The redesigned biomechanical inner ankle brace offers increased movement and control. It provides vertical and lateral protection, progressive damping of torsional forces, and allows natural movement. The double pivot system retains the boot’s integrity while flexing, offering essential resistance to rotational and vertical forces.
- Anatomical Shin and Calf Plates: The slimmer, streamlined design wraps the calf protector ergonomically around the leg, enhancing protection with progressive dampening of torsional forces. The energy-dissipating shin plate features a new design for reduced surface area and weight-saving.
- Unique Sole Integration: The completely redesigned sole improves foot-peg performance, grip, and mud and water run-off. The exclusive dual compound sole is integrated with the multi-density foot base structure, offering superior durability, grip, and feel. The central sole insert features micro grip and side hooking grip design, and it is easily replaceable. Alpinestars offers full sole replacement and boot repair services.
- Buckle Closure System: The new triple buckle closure system, anatomically optimized for weight-saving and ergonomics, features high-impact bridge closures, cold forged for precision and strength. The closure system ensures security with a quick release/locking system and self-aligning, memory design for easy, precise closure.
