DescriptionThe whole story▼
Getting the most out of every ride — whether that's a fast Sunday blast or your first track day — demands a boot that earns its place without demanding your constant attention. The XPD XP9-S in black delivers certified protection, all-day comfort and race-derived features at a price that makes upgrading an easy call rather than a hard compromise.
Key Features
- CE EN 13634:2017 certified — Level 1 abrasion and cut resistance on the upper, meeting current road and track standards
- PU Shock Absorber inserts at the upper tibia and heel absorb impact energy exactly where it matters most in a slide or fall
- High-grip dual-density vulcanised rubber sole with a racing-oriented round profile and diagonal heel design keeps your foot firmly positioned on the footpegs
- Replaceable lightweight magnesium toe slider plus interchangeable calf and heel cup slider inserts extend the usable life of the boot
- TPU ankle protectors with reinforced toe and heel sections add structural rigidity without bulk
- Micrometric ratchet closure with Quick Release at the calf plus a lateral zip make fitting and removal fast and precise
- 3D Air Mesh lining combined with soft-polymer Memory Foam padding keeps foot temperature and pressure points manageable across long rides
Certified Protection You Can Rely On Every Day
The XP9-S has passed rigorous independent testing and carries CE EN 13634:2017 certification, achieving Level 1 in both abrasion and cut resistance on the outer upper. For the majority of sport-oriented road riders this represents a meaningful, real-world level of protection — a boot that meets the standard without sacrificing the walkability and fit that make daily use practical.
The polyurethane shock absorber structures positioned at the shin and heel address the load paths that experience the highest forces in a crash. This is not decorative reinforcement; it is engineered placement based on impact data.
Interior Comfort Built for Long Stints
Comfort is a performance factor, not an afterthought. When your feet are tired or overheating, your concentration suffers. The XP9-S interior addresses this directly:
- 3D Air Mesh lining promotes continuous airflow around the foot
- Soft-polymer padding with Memory Foam reduces pressure points and hot spots during extended sessions
- Air Tech Sensitive Fit insole — antibacterial and replaceable — provides a stable, hygienic base layer
- D.F.A. Nylon inner sole (Differentiated Flexibility Area) balances structural rigidity with ergonomic flex, oriented towards a sporting riding posture
Footpeg Grip and Sole Design
The dual-density vulcanised rubber sole combines the grip needed to hold a consistent position on the footpeg with enough feel to sense feedback through the ball of your foot. The diagonal heel geometry promotes a natural riding position, which becomes especially useful when moving the foot quickly between brake and peg under pressure. The round, anti-skid racing profile keeps unnecessary sole area away from the ground, reducing the risk of the boot catching mid-corner.
Racing-Derived Details That Last
XPD has built the XP9-S to be used hard, with replaceable wear components that extend the boot's service life well beyond that of a sealed, non-serviceable alternative:
- Replaceable lightweight magnesium toe slider — the part most likely to contact the road stays swappable
- Interchangeable calf and heel cup slider inserts in abrasion-resistant polyurethane protect the shell through repeated use
- Gear pad protection (shift pad) on the upper resists the accelerated wear from repeated gear changes at high shifting frequency
- Aerodynamic rear fin and injection-moulded external protectors improve airflow and add a secondary layer of structural defence
- Medial suede microfibre panels at contact surfaces resist heat and abrasion in the zones that work hardest against the machine
Fit, Closure and Entry
- Lateral zip with microinjection insert improves adaptation to individual ankle ergonomics and smooths the inner profile against the foot
- Micrometric ratchet closure at the calf with Quick Release mechanism — dialled in precisely, released instantly
- Microinjected neoprene collar seals the top of the boot against dust, debris and insects
- Vented neoprene front panel plus ventilation pockets at the front and heel supplement the mesh lining's airflow in warmer conditions
Who Is the XPD XP9-S Black For?
- Sport-oriented road riders who want a properly certified racing boot without a race-only price
- Track day newcomers who prioritise durability, comfort and genuine value for money
- Riders who need a boot that pairs cleanly with any leather suit or sport bike colour scheme and performs equally well on the commute and the circuit
