Crossfire TA
Dual Flex System
The key feature in the Sidi Crossfire boot is the Dual Flex system, which allows for easy movement forward and backward but is extremely strong side to side giving the rider the finest in ankle protection and long lasting comfort. The hinged, dual position, stitch-free upper is constructed from injection-molded plastic. With the exclusive Dual Flex system and the four floating - independent straps the Crossfire can provide each rider with a personal fit no matter his body shape or if he uses knee braces or not.
Heel Detail
Three extended ribs are featured at the back of the boot to assist the rider in making upshifts with his heel when starting a race. Rigid, shock resistant, anatomically shaped heel for maximum protection.
Non-Bootie Designs
Sidi boots do not incorporate inner booties into their design, and for good reason. Booties make the design larger and cumbersome; add to the boot's thickness, which interferes with shifting,
plus the inner booties retain body heat affecting the rider's performance and comfort.
Buckles
Sidi's exclusive cam-lock buckle system is acknowledged as the finest system on the planet. It must be as most of Sidi's competitors have attempted to copy various aspects of it. The cam-lock buckle system incorporates a strap memory retention system. Adjust the straps once and they will be at the same position for every ride after that! No more readjusting for every ride or mid-day during a ride.
Toe Areas
The tip of the toe on the Crossfire and Charger boots are covered with plastic to protect the base material and seems against abrasion from brush etc. Plastic shift and brake lever guards on the top of each foot area.
Heat Shields
Each Sidi boot is equipped with an anti-heat undressed leather protection panel at the same height of most motorcycle's exhaust heat shields.
Lorica®
Every Crossfire SR outers is fully constructed with Lorica. Lorica is a composite micro fiber material created from strands that are so fine, each one is less than one thousandth the thickness of silk. When injected with special resins, these fibers act like natural leather skin, but with the addition of better strength, softer texture, lighter weight and better moisture protection. Lorica is also highly resistant to abrasion - yet it still breathes - with more than three million pores per square centimeter. Easy to maintain, Lorica doesn't stain and can't be scratched and offers, reduced weight, more flexibility and more feel than leather racing boots.
Composite Insole
Sidi is the only manufacture to use a composite insole that is anatomically shaped to the rider. A cushioned liner is provided that can be removed if the rider desires a more roomy fit. Sidi does not use steel shanks riveted to its insole like most manufactures, details such as this enable Sidi boots to enjoy a multi year service life versus the competitors multi month lifespan as over time, a steel shank can deteriorate, rust and fracture exposing the rider to injury.
Competitors Insole
Over time the shank gets rusty from sweat and moisture creating a weak link in the boot's protection.
Lining
Cambrelle is a lining that, due to its particular polyimide structure, guarantees a rapid drying rate after the boot gets wet or sweaty. This prevents the onset of mold forming which xtends the boots lifespan dramatically. The Teflon treated mesh panels in the rear calf area of the Crossfire boot allow humidity to escape while the boot is in use.
