Full Grain Microfibre

TECHNO-MICRO

Leather

Leather has the pros and cons of all naturall materials. Small scars or scratches, normally present on an animal’s hide, should not be seen as defects, since they are a characteristic and a sign of real leather.

Full Grain Microfibre with very similar characteristics to the genuine leather. Full Grain microfiber is not affected by aging and all its features are meant to be long-lasting. Lighter of leather it has very high mechanical properties outstanding tensile strength, tear resistance and flexing endurance. It maintains its softness independently from the exposition to every temperature. Full Grain Microfibre is stabil, breathable and water repellent. More resistant than leather.

When constructing most of Sidi boots, Sidi uses a new generation material called “Technomicro”. Technomicro is a composite microfiber material created from strands that are so fine, each one is less than one thousand the thickness of silk. These fibers act like natural leather skin, but with the advantage of better strength, softer texture and lighter weight. Technomicro is also water resistant, highly resistant to abrasion and tearing and is easy to clean and maintain. Technomicro doesn’t stain and offers reduced weight, more flexibility and a better feel than leather or other synthetic material boots.

Teflon

This fabric has been treated with TEFLON Fabric Protector, DuPont’s high performance protection against water and stains. Teflon acts as an invisible protection to provide maximun water and stain repellency, to keep your garment drier and more comfortable in all weathers. Teflon surrounds each fibre, maintaining the breathability of the fabric. Teflon is durable to washing and dry-cleaning.

Cambrelle

Cambrelle is a special lining in polyamidic bi-component fibre, suitable for every kind of footwear. It guarantees hygiene (it allows moisture to evaporate quickly), comfort and durability.

GORE-TEX

The GORE-TEX® membrane is at the heart of all products engineered with GORE-TEX® fabrics. It contains over 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square cm (9 billion pores per square inch). These pores are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule. Water from the outside will never penetrate. Yet perspiration can escape easily, so that less moisture is trapped in the insulation. The result: you stay warmer when it’s cold and drier when you perspire.

CE

The “CE” marking means that the product meets the basic health and safety requirements of European Directive 89/686/EEC.

STRONG AND STYLISH

Crossfire 3 SRS is the most eccentric of the collection. The graphics and attractive design, together with the wide range of colors, make it easy to combine with the most whimsical outfits, while the high quality of the materials makes it an inseparable companion on adventures.

Technology

UPPER TECHNOMICRO MICROFIBRE LINING · AIR TEFLON MESH · CAMBRELLE

REPLACEABLE SHIN PLATE - The thermoplastic front shin plate is anatomically shaped and replaceable, an exclusive-patented Sidi feature.

2

MICRO ADJUSTABLE AND REPLACEABLE BUCKLE SYSTEM - The Sidi micrometric buckle used on motocross boots, with indented memoryregulation straps. The buckle, strap and retaining clips are easily replaceable. The buckle has just one fixing point (by a screw), which allows them to be easily closed making the boot adaptable to the rider’s position.

4

REPLACEABLE METATARSUS INSERT - A rigid replaceable nylon insert has been added to protect the inside of the boot in case the rider’s foot slides off the foot peg or if it slips off the kick-starter. The insert is replaceable by unscrewing the 4 screws.

THERMOPLASTIC DEFENDER ON THE TOE AREA - The toe is entirely covered by plastic protection panels with an embossed geometric design for greater grip.

ANATOMICALLY SHAPED HEEL - The heel is anatomically shaped and manufactured in PU. Its particular form was designed and implemented to provide more safety to the foot in case of twisting. The new heel guarantees comfort and stability.

ASSEMBLED AND REPLACEABLE BOOT LEG - STITCH-FREE - The boot leg (upper) is entirely assembled with screws, thus it is stitch-free and totally replaceable.

FLEX SYSTEM - The upper pivot, on the bootleg, improves the flexibility of the boot and the adjustment of the bootleg itself. In this way, the rider can adjust the boot strap at the calf to his personal preference and achieve an improved fit.

HYPER EXTENSION BLOCK - The Crossfire 3 has an articulated joint on the ankle, called “HYPER EXTENSION BLOCK”, with completely revolutionized technology. It prevents the hyper extension of the ankle, the instep and the posterior tendon when the leg is flexed forwards or backwards. This technology guarantees the rider’s safety.interlocking system.

ADJUSTABLE CALF SYSTEM - The boot leg has a replaceable inner calf plate, produced in PU and a printed rubber insert, to protect the leg from exhaust heat, wear and tear. The calf plate features an inner double adjustment, which allows to widen the circumference of the boot and accommodate even wider calves and shin guards. achieve an improved fit.

SRS/DOVETAIL SOLE - The SRS (Sole Replacement System) interchangeable sole has an innovative design and a revolutionary replacement system. Design and technology are patented by Sidi. The base of the soles, or boat, features a more aggressive look and is slightly higher for greater engagement with the upper. The tip and heel are fixed, while the central part, subject to greater wear, is replaceable. The tip has a special design with traction grooves for greater grip, also ideal for Enduro. The heel area has a fixed insert in soft PU that makes the boot more stable and offers increased traction against the bike. The central part of the sole is made of a rubber insert studied with a new interlocking Dovetail system and 4 screws for easy replacement. Functional design for motocros.
