RidersDiscount Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Gaerne GP-1 Road Racing Boots are a new and innovative protection system for your feet. They’re designed to compliment your lower extremities’ natural range of movement while preventing over-extension and the subsequent injuries from the powerful forces that often come when falling off a motorcycle at speed. Made in Italy, these boots are assembled with a Lorica upper that won’t stretch over time while also being highly resistant to abrasion, water resistant and more breathable than conventional leather. A large polyurethane armor plate is at the front of each shin and the same material is used to surround the heel in a tough shell. These two units are linked by a carbon composite skeleton that is used to impart an extra degree of lateral rigidity in the interest of safety. Should these boots be called in to duty, the magnesium sliders for the toe and heel, along with the shin plate, can easily be replaced to keep your boots not only looking new, but also as protective as possible. Inside each boot, a comfortable mesh lining is used which molds itself to your foot quickly so it won’t shift around within. A comfortable, anatomically-shaped inner sole has built-in shock absorbing material to dampen vibration and increase your comfort on the bike. Gaerne developed these boots with input from riders like Aleix Espargaró with the intention of providing a highly protective, yet very comfortable place for your feet to reside. You’ll quickly notice that they’ve realized these goals the first time you ride with these boots on your feet!For more information and expert sizing assistance, call Mike at 866.931.6644 x 804. You can also email us, send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with GAERNE GP-1 BOOTS in the subject line and we’ll get back to you shortly.Gaerne’s floating system allows the foot to move naturally while preventing hyperextension, twisting and compression injuries. For those of you that have lost your footing suddenly and whacked your foot hard against the footpeg, the extra armor on the shin and the full length of the calve will be a welcome site.A shock absorbing heel cup surrounds the heal in an armored fortress that not only absorbs impact energy, but also includes a low-friction magnesium slider element. As you can see, the heel cup is also reinforced with a carbon composite material.Gaerne GP-1 Racing Boots in white.A rubber gasket runs the circumference of the top opening on each boot for a close fit against the calves.There’s also a micro adjustable ratcheting system on the outer side of each boot to permit a fine degree of tuning. You’ll be able to fit each boot against your legs perfectly.A full-length zipper is secreted behind a rubber gasket on the inner side of each boot. This opens the top up very wide, making it easy to get your foot in, or out of the boot. The rubber material also helps you grip your foot against the motorcycle.Magnesium toe sliders are fitted as standard. They’re housed in a hard rubber surround to offer an extra degree of cushioning when your toe hits the ground suddenly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A special shock-absorbing material is employed for maximum comfort. Also, notice the perforations in the toe and arch areas. These, along with the antibacterial and breathable inner-boot liner, keep your feet cool and dry no matter how hot it is outside.An oil-resistant, long-wearing sole features a unique molded pattern for confident grip, rain or shine.In the interest of preserving the toe box’s integrity, a long-wearing shifter protector provides added grip when shifting gears.Gaerne GP-1 boots in solid black.As you can see, each boot features an aggressive style with plenty of armor to protect your feet from the kinds of forces one would expect to encounter in a crash scenario. Yet, they’re surprisingly comfortable on the bike or in the paddock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that rules are rules and rider discount are pushing a brand on us now.Where is the "delete thread" button to follow the rules?Rant overHey Dumbshit,If you take a look at the section the thread was posted in you will also see that they are also trying to push Alpinestars, Arai, Teknic, Spidi, Crg, Vortex, etc. Better put on your tinfoil cap so they don't brainwash us anymore into thinking that one brand is better than all others. They are a well respected sponsor of this forum as well as many others. Pushing gear is what they do for a living and they also push deals our way if you haven't noticed.The word through the grapevine is that they are passing along a pretty nice deal on some mil-spec vests for the motorcycle escort riders in the Pelotonia ride next weekend. So i guess you probably want this deleted since they are pushing people to think that charity events and fighting cancer are a good cause to support.Rant on this, ya jackass.

Chrome Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 How is it when one person gets shit on for writing a review on a bike, yet another company get praised for writing reviews. Just seems a little biased to me. I agree with what they do. I think it is great that they are willing to make deals with the pelotonia race escorts. The only reason I bring this up is because it was very similar to others reviews that were shut down quickly.As for ross, take the hug, you need it.

ohdaho Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ross, do you need a hug because I think you do.I thought the same thing until Chrome came back with his reply.

Moto-Brian Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Chrome-RD is a sponsor and thus, they are doing what they came here for - to do reviews, support OR and try and sell stuff. They are an awesome company and do great things for us as well as our sport.In reflection, I understand 100% why they pulled my thread. I have been thinking of ways to sponsor the site via a dealership, but quite honestly, I have been so damn busy with work, family and a possible new house that I have forgotten.Don't be upset - they are not doing anything remotely the same. RD? Keep up the awesome reviews and product deals! You guys rock! Now, let me know when you need someone to "test" any of your project bikes!!

RidersDiscount Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Inner-facing zipper is protected by a rubber gasket to help prevent water intrusion in the event of a downpour.Riding where it's usually in the 90's? We recommend the perforated version.Real carbon composite materials are used in the hull of these boots. Also notice the replaceable heel slider unit.Gaerne GP-1 Boots have easily withstood all the abuse Cory West can throw at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
