Motorcycle Boots

Motorcycle Pro Boot - Komodo Gear

Motorcycle boots are a necessity.  Komodo Gear actually offers three types of boots, the Outlaw, which is perfect for drag racing; the Pro boot, which is perfect for track days and the FX, which is a dedicated race boot.  All are good boots, but the Pro boot is a bit unique because it can actually fulfill all three roles.

The Pro boot uses very high grade 2mm leather that completely surrounds your feet and shin.  In addition, it comes with TPU, a tough plastic that covers your ankle, heel, shin and toes for protection.  The Pro boot is also a very comfortable boot, one that you can wear all day long.  Sizes are standard and are available in 6-13.

The Pro boot has been tested by several editors in the industry along with hundreds of racers and riders.  We actually raced in them for 2 seasons and survived 3 crashes.  The boot did its job as our racer suffered no rash or had any issues with feel on the lower controls.  Boots with this capability are usually priced closer to $200; Komodo is having a special right now for a limited time and you can get the Pro boot for $75.  This is a limited time offer to get a great boot with a well earned reputation that will protect your feet for a long time.

Safety as a Value

Safety as a Value - Komodo Gear

Most of us who ride have a strong support system, friends and family.  Does this sound familiar?  What brings us together is our passion for the sport of motorcycling.  Regardless of what you ride, it’s a bond that we can all identify with and it transcends across all borders.  When it comes to our passion, we must do all that we can to protect ourselves and loved ones.

Komodo holds firmly to the philosophy that safety is a Value.  We believe that form must follow function; we provide our customers with products that actually work in a racing environment.  Safety is a value that can
not be compromised and we believe in building a safety culture around us and our customers.  Educating our customers on materials and production methods we use in a racing leathers is always a priority; and we openly share these facts with our customers because we believe it creates trust and confidence.  We passsafety on as a value because it is a part of our code of ethics.

We will continue to live by this code because it is our loved ones that suffer most when something happens.  When you live for your passion, make sure you are placing your faith in a company who values your safety as much as you value your own health.

See you trackside!

Racing and Social Influence

Racing and Social Influence

friends that ride - komodo gear

When it comes to our hobbies and passions, we spend a bit of our time on forums and also on social networks just reading what others have to say.  This is particularly true of certain items that we need  or are interested in regarding our interest in motorcycles.  If you’re looking for a new exhaust, you’ll find lots of opinions on the forums, which is good.  It makes for good reading and research.  The same is true of apparel and racing leathers, lots of opinion’s and information out there.  The difference, is that a lot of opinion’s are just that, or they are too biased and there are times we are looking for a more objective response.

It’s even better if you can  find information from those who use a product in competition, like actual racers.  I mean, if you’re looking for products that have a proven past and are used by actual racers, where do you go?  Komodo Gear understands this need to find relevant information when it comes to racing leathers.  Because of this, we have been working closely with the racing community for the past 8 years and have been fortunate to acquire actual video and written testimonials from privateers and pro’s from across the country.

We think one of the best places to find “real world” opinions from racers that are unscripted are on Komodo Gear’s YouTube Channel
Opinion’s are great, especially from our friends because we trust them and know they have real experience using the product.  It’s even more cool when you can get information from the privateers and pro’s and know the information they’re providing is genuine.  Komodo will continue to share video and written testimonies with our friends because we want to be able to continue to meet the needs of riders – and be viable to the sport.

See you trackside!
