XPD XP9-R Men's Racing and Road Motorcycle Boots | Black

A boot that earns its credentials where mistakes have consequences: the XPD XP9-R is shaped by genuine racing development, and you feel it the moment you pull it on. The fit is secure without being punishing, the foot position is precise, and the ankle support is immediate — so whether you're threading through traffic or pushing hard on a trackday, your concentration stays on the road, not on your feet.

Key Features

• CE EN 13634:2017 certified racing protection — independently verified safety for road and track
• Level 2 upper abrasion resistance and Level 2 cut resistance for maximum confidence at speed
• Removable AGS3 biomechanical ankle guard (Ankle Guard Device) delivers active stability under hard braking, cornering and aggressive exits
• Polyurethane impact absorption at the malleolus, shin and heel — energy management where it counts most
• Replaceable sliders and protective components extend service life and maintain racing-grade performance
• High-grip vulcanised rubber racing sole with diagonal heel design for precise footpeg feel and consistent positioning
• Air-Tech plantar insole with heel and shin ventilation zones keeps feet dry and comfortable across long sessions
• Side zip with micrometric adjustment lever and quick-release closure for a fast, dialled-in fit every time

Built for Control Without Compromise

The XP9-R is constructed around a 1.55 mm highly abrasion-resistant microfibre outer, with a 1.55 mm suede microfibre inner face that is robust against heat and contact surfaces. At the critical zones — shin, ankle and heel — polyurethane shock absorbers manage impact energy before it reaches you. The aerodynamic rear fin and gear-change padding are made from the same energy-absorbing material, so protection is continuous rather than patchwork.

The result is a boot that stays out of your way when riding normally, and does exactly what it was built for when it matters: absorbing energy, preventing rotation, and intercepting contact.

AGS3 Inner Boot: Ankle Stability You Actually Notice

At the heart of the XP9-R is the removable AGS3 inner boot — a biomechanical ankle guard that actively guides and stabilises the joint throughout every phase of riding. You feel the difference most when flicking into a corner quickly, braking late, or driving hard out of a bend: your foot stays exactly where you placed it, giving you a direct, uninterrupted connection to the motorcycle.

Grip, Positioning and Gear Changes: Engineered for Precise Inputs

The rounded, racing-oriented anti-skid sole in vulcanised rubber puts you in direct contact with the footpeg, while the diagonal heel design supports correct foot positioning on the pegs — so your focus stays on the line and the braking point, not on repositioning your foot. For gear changes, the boot adds dedicated shift padding and a magnesium-steel slider that handles the repeated load and abrasion of real-world racing use.

Practical Enough for the Road, Uncompromising on Track

The XP9-R does not demand a dedicated track transport van. A neoprene gaiter at the shaft seals out dust and debris while maintaining a comfortable, secure fit. The side zip makes entry and exit quick, and ventilation ports at the heel and shin keep air moving in the zones that work hardest. The puncture-resistant, non-crushable nylon inner sole adds a further layer of underfoot protection and platform rigidity.

Who the XPD XP9-R Is For

• Riders who want genuine racing-level protection without sacrificing road usability
• Trackday regulars and sportbike riders who prioritise ankle stability, replaceable sliders and a confident sole grip
• Anyone looking for a men's motorcycle boot in black that delivers technically, not just visually
