The G-Force 2 Air shoes from REV’IT! are a sport derived riding shoe that takes inspiration from the MotoGP and WSBK worlds. They are design to pair perfectly with a sport leather jacket and a pair of your favorite riding jeans. This being the Air version they breathe quite well and are great for warm weather riding, but if you need a waterproof shoe there is also the H2O version.
The closure on these shoes are simple laces but you do get a hook and loop panel to cover the top part where the laces would tie, to me this is vital in a sport shoe to keep you laces clean and organized. Another nice feature is the rubber gear shift pad, this extra layer helps the shoes last longer as it will combat the extra stress that your bike’s gear shifter puts on your shoes. From a comfort standpoint the G-Force 2 Air shoes include a padded tongue and a soft mesh lining.
Overall build is made up of an artificial leather, microfiber, perforated microfiber suede, rubber, Seamless TPU film and TPU Knit. Looking at protection the G-Force 2 Air shoes have a reinforced ankle, side panel, heel and toe as well as SEESOFT ankle discs and Thermoformed heel cup and toecap. There is also reflection at the heel for low light and night time visibility. These shoes feature a CE level 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 rating.
The G-Force 2 Air shoes are a really solid shoe that gives you a sport and track like look without the full on size and bulk (and naturally less protection) than a full on sport or racing boot. If you want to keep the same aesthetic but in a more street friendly package these are a great way to go. Personally I have owned a pair of the original G-Force shoes and now a pair of these second generation shoes and one of the main things that I like is just how comfortable they are for a pair of riding shoes. They offer solid protection, yet I have worn both generations through a full 8 hour work day off of the bike and they were still comfortable, that’s impressive for a shoe that actually provides solid riding protection. :: Damir 4/24/24
