Fastback Yellow

【GAERNE Fastback Yellow Motorcycle Boots Shoes Waterproof】A highly maneuverable model developed for enduro and rally riders.
What makes the Fastback truly stand out is the "ankle frame" located at the ankle. The frames of Gaerne's top-of-the-line motocross boots, the SG-12 and SG-10, typically extend from the ankle to the upper calf. While this significantly enhances protection, it comes with the drawback of making movement difficult when dismounted. The Fastback's "ankle frame" is compactly designed, providing essential protection while allowing for smooth movement when dismounted. This will be an indispensable feature for enduro and rally competitions that involve frequent mounting and dismounting.
【Ankle Frame】
What exactly does an ankle frame do? In a word, it prevents "twisting." The ankle frame allows for vertical ankle movement while controlling lateral movement. This means that pedal operation during riding and walking when dismounted can be performed normally, and it protects against sprains and fractures caused by "twisting" in accidents like falls.
【Pivot System】
A pivot is a rotating axis. By placing this rotating axis at the ankle part of the boot, the ankle can move. The metal screw at the ankle acts as this axis, and together with the attached plastic part, it is called the "pivot system." The biggest advantage of adopting the pivot system lies in controlling ankle movement. The design of the pivot system dictates the degree of control, which in turn affects the balance between protection and maneuverability (higher protection generally means lower maneuverability). The SG-12, Gaerne's top-of-the-line boot, prioritizes protection above all else, followed by the SG-10, and then the Fastback, which prioritizes maneuverability.
【Sole Construction Method】
What Gaerne is particularly particular about when manufacturing boots is the sole construction method. The sole construction method not only significantly changes the wearing comfort but also makes a remarkable difference in protection. Gaerne's competition boots adopt the traditional Northern Italian manufacturing method, the Norwegian welt method, also known as "Norvegiese," which is said to last for "100 years." A major advantage of the Norwegian welt method is that the sole rigidity is extremely high. This manufacturing method has been a focus of the founder, Mr. Gazzola, since Gaerne's inception, and it is something that can only be made with the skill of artisans. This is also one of the reasons why Gaerne's boots are still made in Italy.
