style=\"text-align: justify;\">One way that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/alpinestars\">Alpinestars<\/a> was able to make the Tech 10 boots even better is by taking feedback from one the greatest MX riders in the world right now.\u00a0 Ryan Villopoto has worn the Tech 10\u2019s throughout his career, which includes 3 Supercross titles and 5 Outdoor Championships.\u00a0 With a record like that, Alpinestars was smart to listen to what he had to say.\u00a0 They have even released the Tech 10 RV2 boots that are directly inspired by Villopoto.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So what makes the 2014 Tech 10 boots better than the previous year\u2019s?\u00a0 If you get the chance to pick one up, you\u2019ll notice immediately.\u00a0 They have considerably dropped the weight on the boots and have given them an even lower profile.\u00a0 Alpinestars was able to do this by a few ways.\u00a0 One is that the new boots are made with lighter materials, like the aluminum buckles.\u00a0 Another way the made them lighter is with the one piece co-injected foot chassis.\u00a0 The foot chassis is thicker wear it needs more protection and it is streamlined where it doesn\u2019t.\u00a0 There is no excess material creating excess weight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Snagging has always been an issue with MX boots in the past.\u00a0 A\u2019stars has worked hard to minimize this issue as much as possible.\u00a0 They have moved the buckles to the front of the boot and slimmed them down to make them less likely to snag.\u00a0\u00a0 They have also incorporated the rubber insert panel in the medial protection zone on the inside of the boot to help create the low profile design and reduce snagging.\u00a0 It will also give you superb grip on the bike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.denniskirk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Tech-10.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"

justify;\">The Tech 10\u2019s have always been good at protecting you, but now they are even better.\u00a0 The front and back of the boot feature a tongue and groove blade system made from hard shock resistant polymer.\u00a0 The blade systems protect you from hyperextension all while giving you the mobility that you need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The removable inner ankle brace booty allows you to have freedom of movement while protecting your medial and lateral movements.\u00a0 To accomplish this, the booty has torsion bars that move with the natural movement of your ankles but will progressively dampen torsional forces in an accident.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All that protection is great, but if they aren\u2019t comfortable, you\u2019re not going to want to wear them.\u00a0 The new opening makes putting the boots on even easier and the internal microfiber flap allows you to get a precise fit.\u00a0 The leg gaiters are now flexible compared to the more rigid ones of the past.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With all of the technical stuff aside, the Tech 10 boots are still amazing based on looks alone.\u00a0 MX boots are often relegated to bland designs with a choice of black or white with maybe some accent colors.\u00a0 The Tech 10\u2019s change the game with offering more colorways like the neon green on the RV2\u2019s or the red, white and blue Patriot Tech 10\u2019s.\u00a0 There are also red, yellow and black and the orange boots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Want to get even crazier with your boots?\u00a0 You can now buy graphic kits for Tech 10 boots.\u00a0 Alpinestars has released several graphic kits to personalize your boots even more.\u00a0 These are great to make your boots your own or to even cover up some scuffs that have accumulated on your boots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a
