Key Specifications

Lightweight Microfiber Upper

The microfiber upper provides abrasion resistance while keeping the construction lightweight. Front and rear instep inserts help maintain a secure, snug fit.

Gaerne Floating Pivot System (GFPS)

The GFPS provides lateral support to prevent over-compression and hyperextension while allowing natural foot movement on the foot pegs.

Replaceable Front Shin Protection

The anatomically shaped, PU-injected front shin plate protects the shin and can be replaced. A replaceable nylon front shin plate slider adds durability.

Internal Zip and BOA Li2 Closure

The internal zip and elastic ankle insert make the boots easier to put on and provide a secure fit. The adjustable calf closure uses a replaceable BOA Li2 reel for precise fit adjustment across different leg sizes.

PU Shifter Protection

The PU shifter protection supports sensitivity during gear changes while providing additional support at the toe.

Rubber Grip Guard

The inner-side rubber Grip Guard improves grip against the bike and shields the rider’s leg from engine and exhaust heat.

Breathable Lining and Ankle Padding

The breathable inner lining supports comfort inside the boot. Strategically positioned ankle padding uses varying thicknesses to provide tailored support.

Removable and Washable Insole

The anatomically designed insole provides full-foot support for lasting comfort. It can be removed and washed.

Gaerne Sole

The sole features distinct grip zones for traction on foot pegs and controls, with a profile integrated with the upper. It is designed for durability and resistance to wear and abrasion from asphalt.

Interchangeable Magnesium Sliders

Magnesium sliders at the toe and heel allow smooth sliding when they contact the asphalt. Both are interchangeable.

CE Certification and Italian Manufacture

The GP1 LS boots are made in Italy and CE-certified in accordance with EN 13634:2017 and EU Regulation 2016/425.
