For over a decade, the Tech 10 has set the standard for performance and protection in motocross boots. The focus is on product development and innovation, constantly pushing the boundaries of performance. At Alpinestars, we believe in perfection through innovation while maintaining the iconic Tech 10 look. The latest model offers riders the ultimate feel, comfort, and overall safety, raising the bar for a premium motocross boot higher than ever before. The continuous evolution of the Tech 10 has been guided by three main priorities: improving the overall functionality, performance, and safety of the boot while simultaneously reducing weight and material bulk. The latest Tech 10 offers greater freedom of movement and flexibility, along with improved control over flex and torsional forces, significantly enhancing the boot's performance and providing riders with greater confidence and protection. The comfort of the Tech 10 boots is legendary and a key feature that makes them a top choice for riders, especially since they are designed for all types of riding conditions. Key improvements to the current Tech 10 boots include a range of unique technologies and material combinations: the Frontal Flexion Control Frame, the asymmetrical double pivot arms and the patented Dynamic Heel Compression Protection (DCHP) shock absorber, which is integrated into a redesigned foot shell with a slimmer, streamlined outsole, as well as the new internal ankle support, anatomical shin and calf plates, the unique sole integration and buckle closure system.

• Unrivaled Flex Control
  
• A groundbreaking innovation for the Tech 10 is the introduction of Alpinestars' patented Frontal Flex Frame. Combined with the dual blade links at the front and rear, the Frontal Flex Frame gives the Tech 10 a complete and seamless flexion control system that extends from the foot shell to the shin plate, providing powerful dual motion control that prevents over-compression and over-extension, with:
  
• A dual-density TPU connection system, linking the lower buckle plate to the upper blade connection, buckle, and shin guard, provides sophisticated frontal flex control. The frontal flex frame is designed to "float" freely between the lower and upper boot constructions. It acts as a shock absorber, distributing energy across the boot frame while controlling forward and backward flexion.
  
• Asymmetrical, double pivot arms on the boot frame.
  
• Ankle control system
  
• A unique feature of the Tech 10 is the ankle control system developed in the outer shell construction, which allows for natural ankle movement, vertical compression control and improved impact protection.
  
• An asymmetrical medial and lateral dual pivot system provides a higher level of flexibility and precision for both independent and synchronized movements. The higher positioning of the medial pivot arm reduces material volume in the lower part of the boot, creating more space for the patented internal ankle support system, which can move freely and improve control. The reduced internal volume also minimizes abrasion at contact points with the bike, enhancing grip and feel.
  
• The newly designed dual-density TPU rear blade system is engineered to prevent overstretching while providing improved flex control and shock resistance.
  
• DCHP - Unique Heel Protection Innovation
  
• The patented Dynamic Heel Compression Protector (DHCP) is an innovative safety feature integrated into the Tech 10's unique and lightweight, one-piece foot construction. It comprises a fully integrated, collapsible heel area with expanded polyurethane foam that absorbs high impact energies in the event of a crash. The DHCP features a directional impact protection system that significantly reduces the transfer of excessive, potentially injury-causing energy to the ankle and lower leg. DHCP has been used by Alpinestars athletes in the demanding environments of professional Supercross and Motocross.
  
• New inner ankle brace
  
• One of the most important features of the Tech 10 is the newly designed biomechanical medial malleolar brace. This patented technology offers the following features:
  
• Lighter, anatomically redesigned medial and lateral torsion arms that are compact and offer greater freedom of movement and control. Combined with the outer boot's construction, the ankle support provides vertical and lateral protection against compression and rotation of the ankle and leg, as well as progressive damping of torsional forces in the event of an accident, while still allowing for natural range of motion.
  
• Thanks to its dual pivot system, the Tech 10 maintains its integrity while flexing. This eliminates the need for alternative torsion bars for different ankle widths and provides crucial progressive resistance to rotational and vertical forces that, if left unchecked, can be so damaging to the ankle, knee, thigh, and pelvis.
  
• New, flat design for easier and faster dressing, resulting in reduced material thickness, less weight, and easier application.
  
• Innovative flexion inserts work seamlessly with the new Tech 10 Flex Support System to deliver ultimate performance.
  
• TPU protection and shock-absorbing padding at the heel and ankle, as well as an ultra-thin and flexible forefoot area for more sensitivity and control.
  
• The removable anatomical two-composite footbed with EVA provides comfort and support and promotes even weight distribution.
  
• Anatomical shin and calf protectors
  
• The Tech 10's design is slimmer and more streamlined, featuring a contoured calf protector that ergonomically wraps around the rear of the leg. Constructed from a dual-density blend, it offers enhanced protection through progressive damping of excessive torsional forces, in combination with the rear blade system. The energy-absorbing shin plate boasts a new anatomical design that reduces surface area and weight.
  
• Unique sole integration
  
• Completely redesigned sole with proprietary grip sculpting to improve footpeg performance, traction, and mud and water drainage. The exclusive dual-composite sole is seamlessly integrated into the multi-density base structure with built-in support. The sole offers superior durability, grip, and feel while riding, and improved shifting performance. The midsole insert features a micro-grip and side-hook grip design. It is easily replaceable, and Alpinestars offers a complete sole replacement and boot repair service.
  
• Buckle closure system
  
• The anatomically optimized, weight-saving, and ergonomically designed new triple-buckle closure system is constructed from a nylon and fiberglass blend for enhanced durability and strength. The new, slim buckles include heavy-duty bridge closures, cold-forged for precision and strength. The closure system features a counter-lock mechanism that doubles security and a quick-release system with a self-aligning memory design for easy, precise fastening and improved riding performance and safety. All buckles are easily replaceable.
  
• Innovative, lightweight upper material construction:
  
• The Tech 10 construction is made from advanced, lightweight microfiber and a shock- and abrasion-resistant TPU shell.

• Innovative, lightweight upper construction: The Tech 10 construction consists of advanced, lightweight microfiber and a shock- and abrasion-resistant TPU shell.
  
• The foot shell is constructed from five different components in a single lightweight piece to provide strength while maintaining flexibility and structural integrity. It features heel and toe protection that is highly abrasion and impact resistant, contributing to the overall durability of the shoe. The foot shell also incorporates an integrated shank for support and structural integrity.
  
• The front guard features a double closure system with an internal microfiber flap and hook-and-loop fasteners for a precise fit. The closure below the buckle is micro-adjustable and easy to use.
  
• The soft microfiber bellows help prevent the penetration of water and dirt.
  
• Inner lining made of polyfiber with open-cell 3D foam and non-slip suede in the heel area to keep the foot in the shoe.
