The Alpinestars Tech 8 Lite motocross boot is a full-throttle push to get to the top of the food change. Alps had previously made evolutionary changes to the Tech 8, because it had a hardcore following. However, this new Tech 8 Lite model takes some bigger leaps. It has a subtle yet substantial redesign to the shell, and a major redesign to the inner bootie (can it still be called a bootie?). Best feature is that the boot is now about 12 ounces lighter per side.
