While servicing our Gen 1 KTM 500 EXC (2012 - 2016 model years), we found some "challenges" installing the excellent Enduro Engineering skid plate.

Barn Find: RG Leathers

Several years ago, I made a deal to buy a large lot of vintage motocross gear. I am a vintage moto gear nerd, and have a hard time passing up any cool old moto stuff. In this case it was a large lot, randomly strewn throughout an old warehouse.....

Sidi X-Power Boots

We are constantly looking for features that differentiate gear. Sometimes that is difficult, as most gear is actually pretty good. Occasionally though, brands just nail it. Such is the case with these Sidi X-Power boots....perhaps the best boot in Sidi's line.

Gaerne Fastback Enduro Boots - Yep.....ENDURO Boots

"Off road boots" are basically motocross boots, painted with a broader name brush. Same basic features, construction, etc. Not so with the Gaerne Fastback Enduro Boot.

Gaerne SG-22 Boots

This is my first pair of motocross boots so this review is strictly regarding fit. I typically wear 8 1/2 wide shoes/boots. I’d say my left foot is E and my right foot is EEE. I have a pair of TCX street boots size 42 and a pair of Forma Adventure boots size 42, both fit fine. I first tried Alpine Stars Tech 7 size 9, not wide enough, actually hurt my right foot at the joint at the base of my pinky toe (no bunion). Next tried Gaerne SG-12 size 9, wide enough but had a pressure point just above my ankle on the inside of right leg. Didn’t want to take a chance on that breaking in so returned them. Then tried Leatt 4.5 Enduro size 9, wider than the Tech 7’s but not wide enough. These were all purchased and returned from another company. I then called Atomic Moto and spoke with Brian. He recommended three boots. I tried the Forma Predator 2.0 Enduro size 43/9, still too tight on right foot. Returned those for the Gaerne SG-22 size 9 and they fit perfect no pressure point. Brian really knows his boots, highly recommend calling him first if you are undecided or need help.

Great

Great service & Great product, better than the originals that came with boots, super comfy.

My second pair

These boots are amazing! The first pair were over 15 years old, and still going but I decided to replace them with the new one with the buckle.

These boots are awesome. Was using road specific boots for ADV riding for a bit and these are a huge upgrade. The thick soles feel great when standing while riding. Keep in mind that these boots are fairly narrow. They killed my wide feet for the first few times I wore them. Literal worst pain. Then eventually broke in and fit really well. Also they squeak a lot.

Brian at Atomic is the best in the biz. He knows his stuff. Amazing customer service over the last 10 years!
