Sidi CrossFire 3 SRS MX Boots

What makes a great set of riding boots?

- Simon Thomas

They have to be comfortable, easy to slide on and off, and offer a high level of impact resistance and protection. The style and look are also a consideration when we’re choosing where to spend our hard-earned money.

Sidi’s CrossFire2 MX boots have gained legendary status over the years, with amateur and pro riders singing their praises. They’re full spec, high-end, technical, enduro-style riding boots with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from the brand’s flagship offering. Now, the CrossFire 3s offer some additional features, which make them a stand-out product.

One feature is the Hyper Extension Block System (HEBS). As the name implies, the design stops the rider's ankle from hyper extending. With more and more adventure riders using hard panniers, the number of reported injuries caused by feet being trapped under them has increased. HEBS could well be the long-term answer.
