The boots that come from the pit lane

Some products seem "sporty." The XPD XP9-R is sporty because it was created where mistakes are not an option: in racing. These boots are the choice of top-level riders – and you can feel that expertise as soon as you step in: firm grip, clear foot position, stable ankle, protection in the right places. And yet, comfort remains high enough that you want to ride them seriously not just on the track, but also on the street.

The XP9-R is aimed at riders planning their next step: to ride more precisely, to brake later, to shift cleaner – all while being better protected.

Why the XP9-R works so convincingly

• Racing protection according to standard: CE EN 13634:2017 certified

• Level-2 Performance: Upper material abrasion resistance Level 2 & cut resistance Level 2

• AGS3 inner shoe: removable, biomechanical ankle protection for noticeable stability

• Shock-absorbing protection: polyurethane structure at the ankle (malleolus), shin, and heel

• Replaceable sliders & protective parts: for long durability and true racing suitability

• High-grip racing sole: vulcanized rubber, slip-resistant and direct in feedback

• Secure fit: side zipper + micrometer adjustment lever with quick release

• Climate & foot feel: Air-Tech plantar for better sweat drainage + ventilation zones at heel/shin

Protection where it matters – without the "board feel"

At the limit, you need two things at once: control and reserve. The XP9-R combines both:

• Outer material made of highly abrasion-resistant microfiber fabric (1.55 mm)

• Inner side in suede microfiber (1.55 mm), robust against heat and contact surfaces

• Shock-absorbing polyurethane at critical zones (shin, ankle, heel)

• Aerodynamic rear fin and shift pad also made from shock-absorbing material

This creates a boot that does not "get in your way" during normal riding, but in an emergency does exactly what it was built for: absorb energy, prevent twisting, intercept contact.

AGS3 Inner Shoe: Stability You Feel While Riding

The centerpiece is the removable AGS3 (Ankle Guard System) inner shoe: a biomechanical protection that guides and stabilizes the ankle. This is particularly noticeable during quick transitions, hard braking, and aggressive acceleration out of corners – your foot stays where you need it.

Grip, Positioning, Shifting: Designed for Precise Inputs

The round, racing-oriented anti-skid sole made of vulcanized rubber provides direct contact with the footpeg. Additionally, the diagonal heel design supports your foot position on the pegs – ideal when you are focusing on the line and braking point, not on "rearranging your foot".

For shifting, there are also:

• Shift Padding

• Magnesium-Steel Slider (for load and abrasion in racing conditions)

Practical for Everyday Use, Uncompromising in Action

The XP9-R remains functional even when you are not just riding track days:

• Neoprene gaiter at the shaft: tight closure against dust and foreign bodies, while providing a comfortable fit

• Side zipper: quick entry

• Vents at the heel and shin: air circulation in heavily stressed zones

• Puncture-resistant, crush-proof nylon insole: more protection, more stability

Who is the XPD XP9-R Ideal For?

• Riders who want racing protection with street suitability

• Track day and sport bike riders who value stable ankle support, sliders, and grip soles

• Anyone looking for a men's motorcycle boot in black that not only looks good but also performs technically

Size Advice (based on foot length in mm)

Tip: Measure foot length (from heel to longest toe) and choose accordingly.
