The new Artiglio WP boot boasts plenty to attract the all-round off-road rider, not least that waterproof element. Acerbis claim “excellent” levels of protection and support thanks to unique TPU inserts in the tibial, ankle and gearbox areas.
To improve fit, the boot also has durable tibial inserts made of soft microfibre plus there’s an extra dose of comfort from a 3D Mesh padding. Comfort is important, right?
The Acerbis dual density sole looks good to us for grip on the pegs and the ground – “perfect for enduro and adventure riding” Acerbis say. The sole has side channels designed to improve traction and prevent mud from building up, helping grip on the footpegs even in the muddiest situations Acerbis say.
