Key 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 a 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 bikes 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, a new shock absorbing material has been used. And in the front portion the construction has been made to allow the foot to vent.
