Ducati Corse 13 Racing Boots

Developed in collaboration with TCX®, a leading brand in the development of technical bike boots, Ducati Corse racing boots stand out for their high-tech design, the use of top quality materials, and a manufacturing technique that combines handcrafting with advanced technology. The boot profile is aggressive but not excessive, harmonic and immediately recognisable as a product conceived for high level motorbike racing performance. The total comfort of Ducati Corse boots, combined with the Precise Air Fit System, is the outcome of targeted design and the use of the best materials. For example, the anatomic “Race Performance” insole is in particularly light, breathable expanded polyurethane. It is enhanced with a gel insert in the heel area to help absorb vibrations and soften impact. Its special shape follows the profile of the foot with differential thicknesses to correctly support the foot arch, forefoot, and heel. Around the ankle bone and heel the padding is particularly close fitting to avoid the irritating effect of the heel lift inside the boot. The Lycra lining is injected directly onto the padding to complete the comfort of these unique boots. Precise Air Fit is a system comprising a genuine air chamber in antibacterial and anti-allergenic polyurethane which, thanks to the pump located at the top of the boot leg, can vary in volume. The air chamber is divided into areas of differential thickness, designed to best adapt to the shape of the ankle and shinbone once inflated. The pump is used to progressively inflate the air chamber, adjusting the pressure on the feet and optimising the fit. A release valve in brass and steel provides fine adjustment and complete deflation of the air chamber to simplify boot removal after use. Torsion Control System® “Carbon TECH” The Torsion Control System® incorporated into the boot is a development of the ankle protection system patented by TCX®. The evolution of the material has moved toward reducing the overall weight of the boot, to increase the mechanical control over the movements of the ankle and leg, as well as increasing impact resistance. The system includes an ankle-impact slider and a new rear slider to increase boot slide, reducing the risk of dangerous torsional forces in cases of falls on asphalt. Both are made in high wear, impact resistant aluminium alloy with a titanium colour finish to best blend into the boot profile. This boot is EC certified.
