Gaerne is putting new horsepower on the ground, they tell us, with the launch of the new Gaerne SG.22 off-road boot, the evolution of the widely used SG.12 model.
60 years of expertise is behind the new boot research and development process, which they say has created a combination of “Made in Italy craftsmanship with cutting-edge materials and technical solutions”.
Gaerne says every component and detail of the new SG.22 has been fine-tuned, including a new 3D Main Body Toe Box, which adopts a three-dimensional construction. This unique design reduces the height, they say, between the sole and the top, effectively under the gearshift, increasing the speed and ease of shifting gears.
The front shin plate also has two air vents channelling fresh air through 3D channels designed to “create cavities capable of facilitating the evacuation of humidity and heat dissipation”.
Internally, the injected memory foam has also been re-engineered to adopt the shape of the ankle better, stabilising the whole foot and allowing the foot to become one with the boot.
As expected, the boot also houses an inner Grip Guard 1.0 rubber element with a compound developed with professional riders to improve protection and the “coefficient of friction” for a better riding feel.
New sole
The sole of the new SG.22 features dual-density inserts to “guarantee grip and durability” without forgetting traction and cushioning while walking. The Microshock heel also features a compound with different densities designed to protect micro-impact when cornering.
New’ Aluminum Superlight Buckle’ levers have a freshly painted finish, plus the classic adjustment strap’s upper locking lever can be adjusted in three positions. Combined with the two positions guaranteed by the new Frontal Shin Guard, it is possible to use multiple configurations for better fit and allows easy insertion of knee protectors.
