With the incredible growth of motocross racing and all the necessary attire needed to get involved in the sport, where should you begin? Having a good motocross boot is a good place to start. Where can you find the best boots for your foot protection? Not only do you want the best boots, but affordable racing boots that can withstand the test of time.
After all, you only have two feet, and you want to make certain they are protected in case of an accident. Scott footwear has revolutionized the world of motocross racing. The “Genius” boot is Scott’s latest addition to motocross world. The “Genius” boot is made from a material known as Hytrel®.
Most motocross boots are made from leather and plastic. Although both of these are good materials, the new Hytrel® exhibits a level of strength that is unsurpassed. During the intense testing of the Hytrel® , and even after being flexed thousands of times, the material kept its’ shape. The Hytrel® also retains its’ flexibility over most changes in temperature caused by the elements.
Most people that participate in the motocross sport have a motorcycle to maintain. Another excellent quality of the Scott racing boot is that the boots are chemical resistance. The “Genius” boot is resistant to most all of the chemicals included in the cleaning products of off-road motorcycles. If you happen to be cleaning your motorcycle and accidentally spill a chemical on your boot, it will not seep through to your foot.
Flexibility of a boot is another aspect that is most important to drivers of the motocross world. The Scott Pivot System allows flexibility of the boot, without compromising the solid construction. It is a necessity for a driver to be able to use their foot to maneuver the motorcycle, while limiting ankle movement. The hinge design in conjunction with the Hytrel® material allows this action. This unique design eliminates the need for a fourth buckle that most all other motocross boots have.
Motocross boots also need to be a desirable weight without taking away from protection and performance. Scott developed the “Genius” boot with this in mind. The “Genius” boot is lighter than most other boots in the motocross industry. The boot weighs in at 4.3 pounds.
While developing the “Genius” boot, Scott wanted to increase durability. Motocross boots have commonly had a short life span. After element exposure and everyday use, most motocross boots loose their integrity. The Hytrel® material will withstand the test of time. During testing, the Hytrel® material lasted considerably longer than leathers and plastics.
The “Genius” boot is designed to conform to your foot. Most motocross racing boots require a “breaking in” period. You will find the technology and design of the Scott racing boot does not require this “breaking in” time. Upon purchasing and putting on your new “Genius” boot, you are ready to ride.
Let motocross racing be your new sport of choice. Put your feet in the new “Genius” boot by Scott today. Your feet will thank you.
