Our Two Cents
These new RT Race boots are really sharp and pack lot of premium features into a reasonably priced package in my opinion. They offer the interior lacing for size adjustment and have an ankle torsion control system and lots of high tech looking components!
I was all set for sticker shock when these boots first landed on my desk, With other race boots with the list of features these have, I’d have guessed a price point of $400 or more, but I was pleasantly surprised with the $299 retail price. Good job TCX! I like the textured material used on the bike-side of the boot. The material will help to grip the body parts of the bike and the material is somwhat soft like tight grain suede. It has a neat pattern molded into it too.
These boots are one of the few out there constructed with the interior lacings across the instep and ankle area of your foot. Its hard to get an exact fit with a side-zip boot and these lacings help you to do just that. Also there is a strip of slightly stretchy material on the back side of the zipper to help provide a bit of “give”. That little bit of flexibility helps with fit, but also makes it a lot easier to raise the zipper. The calf if adjustable too. Its a ratchet type closure that is easy to use and quite secure.
If you look at the close-up pictures, you can see the exterior “Flex Control System”. Its a firm molded plastic piece that fits all around the ankle. It provided limited flex front to back and side to side but resists any large flexing like you might experience in a crash.
The whole boot really feels sturdy and should provide great crash protection. And the overall looks are much less “clunky” than past designs I’ve seen. I really do like this boot… especially for the price! :: Paul, 11-15-17
