What riding is the Tech-5 collection designed for?
Tech‑5 boots are purpose-built for motocross and off‑road riding, including MX tracks, enduro, and trail use. Their multi‑material chassis and controlled‑flex support prioritize impact and abrasion protection while maintaining feel on the pegs.
Are Tech‑5 boots CE certified and what does EN 13634 mean?
Yes. Tech‑5 motocross boots are CE certified to EN 13634:2017, the European standard for motorcycle protective footwear. This standard evaluates areas such as abrasion resistance and structural rigidity to verify protective performance for riders.
How do Tech‑5 boots fit and how should I choose the right size?
Tech‑5 boots use a performance fit that should be secure at the heel and midfoot with enough toe room for long motos. Use the Alpinestars footwear size chart to convert US/EU sizing and select based on foot length. Try them with the socks you ride in and account for any knee braces or bulkier guards you use.
How should I break in and care for Tech‑5 motocross boots?
Break-in gradually with short rides and gentle hand flexing of the ankle zones. After riding, remove excess dirt, rinse with low pressure water, and clean with mild soap and a soft brush. Air dry away from direct heat, then check and lightly lubricate buckles. Avoid harsh solvents, high heat, or pressure washers, which can damage technical materials.
How does Tech‑5 compare to Tech‑7 and Tech‑10 in the Alpinestars MX range?
All three are off‑road performance boots; they differ in feature sets and intended rider focus:
| Model | Positioning | Key Support/Construction |
|---|---|---|
| Tech‑5 | Mid‑range MX/off‑road | Multi‑material chassis with controlled‑flex pivot support; CE EN 13634. |
| Tech‑7 | Advanced MX/off‑road | Engineered for lighter feel and high protection with redesigned materials and construction for on‑bike feedback. |
| Tech‑10 | Flagship/pro‑level | Bio‑mechanical inner ankle brace and dual‑pivot system for precise control and advanced energy management. |
