The Gaerne SG22 is a premier competition-grade motocross boot engineered for serious riders who demand championship-level protection, performance, and Italian craftsmanship. Built as a significant evolution over the previous flagship SG-12, the SG22 introduces a host of technical advancements designed to enhance rider safety, comfort, and control on the track.
At the heart of the SG22's protection system is the Gaerne Dual Stage Pivot System 1.0, which supports the ankle with two mechanical limit switches that restrict hyperextension, hyperflexion, and lateral movements. Refined movement geometry allows the boot to more naturally mimic the ankle's motion, improving ergonomics without compromising protective performance.
The 3D Main Body Toe Box reduces the height between the sole and the shift lever, resulting in faster, more responsive gear changes. Aluminum Superlight Buckles with multiple adjustment positions deliver a precise, tailored fit, while the frontal shin guard offers dual positioning options for added rider versatility.
Airflow is managed through dedicated Air Vents near the frontal plate combined with internal 3D channels that promote optimal airflow, humidity evacuation, and heat dissipation — keeping feet cool and comfortable during the most intense rides. Grip Guard 1.0 rubber elements provide heat protection and enhanced grip on the bike, while Memory Foam 1.0 lining aids foot stabilization and all-day comfort.
The SG22 is constructed using Gaerne's time-honored Goodyear Welted artisanal method — a technique the company has employed since 1962 — which produces a robust, durable sole structure that can also be resoled to extend the life of the boot. The multi-density sole incorporates strategically positioned dual-density inserts for superior grip, traction, and cushioning underfoot.
