More control, less distraction – that's exactly what it's built for

The XPD XP-MODE in black is designed for riders who move sportily on the road and want a setup that fits reliably, offers protection, and is comfortable to wear. XPD calls it "Your Extra Gear" – and that's exactly how it feels: like an additional layer of safety and control that helps you remain stable in corners and execute inputs cleanly.

Important to note (as requested): The XP-MODE is primarily a street motorcycle boot with a sporty character. An occasional trip to the track is feasible, but if you ride the racetrack regularly and consistently, models like the XPD X10-R or XPD XP9-S are the more suitable, track-oriented choice.

Your advantages at a glance

• Sporty street boot with racing-inspired components

• Abrasion-resistant microfiber with ventilated zones for robust everyday and sport use

• High-grip dual-density sole (vulcanized rubber) for stable grip on the footpeg

• Replaceable slider: interchangeable plastic toe slider for long service life

• Ankle & calf protectors (molded) + additional TPU elements inside

• Air ventilation pockets on front plate & heel: less heat buildup in the boot

• Soft Lycra collar: barrier against water, dust, and insects

• Zip + Velcro + elastic calf panels: quick on/off, snug fit

• Interior: memory foam + Ortholite® insole (replaceable, breathable, ergonomic)

Why the XP-MODE is so strong on the street

1) Grip and foot position: stable in every curve

The dual-density, vulcanized rubber sole provides traction when cornering and clear feedback on the footpegs. The diagonal heel design supports the ideal foot position – especially helpful when you ride sportily on the balls of your feet or frequently shift.

2) Protection logic according to "Form Follows Function"

With the XP-MODE, protection is not show, but system:

• Injection-molded external protectors

• Molded ankle & calf protectors

• TPU ankle protection on the inside

• Reinforced toe and heel areas

• Medial side: heat-resistant suede microfiber for contact zones

This provides you with a robust foundation for sporty street kilometers – without compromising the character of a racing boot.

3) Ventilation & “Distraction-Free” in everyday life

The XP-MODE is designed not to annoy you:

• Vented areas on the upper

• Ventilation pockets on the front plate and heel cup

• Soft Lycra collar: keeps dust and small foreign objects out better, sits comfortably on the shaft

• Inside: 3D Air Mesh lining for additional breathability

Especially on longer tours or in warm weather, the foot climate remains more controlled.

4) Comfort setup: Memory Foam + Ortholite®

Inside, there is a setup that ensures true everyday usability:

• Memory foam padding reduces pressure points and hotspots

• Ortholite® insole: breathable, lightweight, ergonomically shaped, and designed for long-term cushioning

• Replaceable – practical for hygiene, comfort, and longevity
