SHELL CONSTRUCTION: Multi-layer composite disperses energy in impacts.
FOUR DENSITY EPS LINER: The right density in the right area.
SIZE: Each head size has a dedicated shell and EPS dimensions.
LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION: Medium size weighs in at 1260g (ECE), 1379g (DOT).
A-HEAD FITMENT SYSTEM: Patented system provides ultimate adjustability.
PATENTED VISOR RELEASE SYSTEM: Allows visor to release in a crash with the correct pre-determined amount of force, regardless of angle of impact.
PROTECTIVE DESIGN: Engineered raised and padded area reduces forces transmitted to the collarbone.
ULTRA-VENTILATED DESIGN: Visor directs air into ports for added breathability.
MULTI-DIRECTIONAL IMPACT PROTECTION SYSTEM®: Exclusive multi-piece MIPS® system reduces rotational impact forces.
EPS EMERGENCY RELEASE SYSTEM: Safely and easily remove cheekpads while the helmet is still on.
HYDRATION COMPATIBILITY: Engineered canals in lining for hydration tube.

THE TECH 10:
The Tech 10 has set the standard for Motocross boot performance and protection for over a decade. The completely re-designed Tech 10 boot raises the performance envelope even further. While it maintains the iconic look of its predecessor, every single piece has been redesigned and tested on our top Supercross and Motocross athletes. The Tech 10 overhaul had three important priorities: functionality, performance and safety. Creative construction techniques with lighter, more durable composite materials yield a slimmer and more streamlined boot. The new Tech 10 has a greater range of movement, flexibility and support in a considerably lighter package.
FOOT CHASSIS:
All new, slim, single-piece foot chassis features an even more streamlined shape and profile. Injected with five uniquely engineered densities that dramatically reduce weight and improve performance.
FRONTAL FLEX FRAME:
Prevents hyper-extension and over-compression in conjunction with the rear blade system.

Ultra-thin and flexible forefoot area offers increased feel and control of brake and shifter.
DUAL COMPOUND SOLE:
Provides improved footpeg grip as well as mud and water run-off.
