MXA PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: LEATT’S NEW BOOTS – GREAT FEATURES AT A GREAT PRICE

Here at MXA we test bikes and products so we can give our readers the inside scoop on the latest and greatest moto products on the market. With our product spotlight, we like to highlight companies that are working hard to enhance their customers riding experience. Today we’re featuring Leatt new boot, the GPX 5.5 FlexLock. We saw a lot of Leatt sponsored riders wearing this boot without logos before it was released to the public and now we’ve enjoyed being able to ride and test it. The official MXA product test on the new boot is coming soon, but for now you can learn all about the extensive features this boot has.

Leatt’s Steph Slattery stated: “Three years of development and testing with our Pro athletes from all over the world has resulted in the creation of the 5.5 FlexLock boot. Staying true to our scientific and technical roots, Leatt’s biomedical engineers extensively researched and designed an advanced boot that is unique among its competitors. The FlexLock system allows more ankle movement, which reduces the load to the ankle and knee because of energy release, but also locks out at a point before excessive ankle flexion occurs. The interior is cushioned with 3D-shaped impact foam, and the riding zone of the sole is extended towards the front of the boot for a better rider platform, allowing you to ride more on your toes and increase grip on the bike. Leatt boots are available now for $389.99.”
