BMW MOTORRAD KICKS OFF 2011 RIDER EQUIPMENT RANGE WITH SECURITY EVO G3 RACE BOOT

BMW Motorrad is pleased to announce the launch of a new lightweight boot for racing and performance riding - the Security Evo G3 Boot. Featuring a two-part construction with a removable inner safety shell and a lightweight outer boot, the Security Evo G3 is the pinnacle of comfortable, yet strong, ankle and foot protection.


The inner boot is constructed from aramid - a heat, solvent and impact resistant synthetic fibre also used in bulletproof vests and flame-retardant garments. Able to withstand huge forces, corrosive substances and extreme temperatures, as it doesn't melt and retains its strength in temperatures up to 500ºC, the inner boot is articulated to allow natural rotation of the ankle and movement on the bike. A triple-layer aramid web over the toes and a four-layer shin guard offer additional protection for these more exposed areas.

The outer boot is manufactured from hard-wearing, lightweight kangaroo leather, which offers the same abrasion protection as cowhide but allows the material to be up to 40% thinner, offering greater weight savings, improved ventilation and more flexibility. The outer boot also features a moulded polyurethane gear shift panel on the left side to prevent extra wear, and a non-slip, water- and oil-resistant sole. Plastic toe sliders can be replaced or upgraded with reinforced metal items for increased life.

The benefit of the two-part construction used in the Security Evo G3 Boot is that, in the event of a crash, each section can be replaced independently, so the G3 Boot offers the greatest level of protection, while still remaining an economical option for racers and trackday riders.

The black and white BMW Security Evo G3 Boot, built in conjunction with leading performance footwear manufacturer Daytona, is available now in EU sizes 37-48. Replacement sliders and inner and outer boots are available separately.
