Its the same company,, just a name change.. The Oxtar top of the line model boot was called the TCX... Now they just changed the name of the company to TCX.. I didnt read the article. Im sure yota still has his pair of Oxtar TCX boots and the new TCX is just an upgrade to last years model. Like I said, WSB riders are wearing the TCX Competizione RS model so they are definitely good enough for us street, track day'ers
