TCX Ikasu Reflex, boots waterproof

Ikasu Waterproof is a certified and waterproof motorcycle boot with impermeable T-DRY membrane.

The Ikasu Waterproof feature reinforcing D30® inserts on the ankles and protectors on the toe and heel. They have been developed to combine the perfect fit and maximum safety, protecting the sensitive areas of the foot.

Protection is guaranteed by the special Zplate® insert in molded polymer that, thanks to its Z-shape, combines transverse stiffness for maximum safety and longitudinal flexibility. Zplate® allows the shoe to follow all the natural movements of the foot both in the saddle and when walking. At the same time, the technology protects against compression of the shoe in the event of an impact.

The upper is made of reflective mesh fabric with suede inserts and features side lacing. An elastic zipper at the front makes it easy to put on and take off.

The highly breathable Ortholite® insole with durable cushioning makes the shoe comfortable to wear. The abrasion-resistant Groundtrax® sole features a textured tread that guarantees maximum grip and ensures stability even in wet conditions.

ZPLATE®

Sturdy laterally, flexibe frontally. The ZPLATE shank in the midsole keeps the right flexibility of the shoe, for an optimal riding and walking comfort, ensuring at the same time the transverse rigidity to protect the foot, in case it would be crushed under the vehicle.

Groundtrax® outsole

Groundtrax® outsoles are engineered to ensure stability, grip and traction both on the footpegs and once got off the saddle. This is due to the design of lugs and grooves, as well as the choice of the rubber compound, which also maximize the wear-resistance and self-cleaning of the tread. The sole is featured by a dedicated gear shift area, to provide a higher precision during the ride.

D3O® inserts

In its raw form the D3O® molecules flow freely, thanks to their non-Newtonian nature, allowing the material to be soft and flexible. On impact, the D3O® molecules lock together, absorb and dissipate the energy from impacts, significantly reducing the amount of force that gets transmitted to the body compared to standard materials.
