$489.95
www.alpinestars.com
Available in five new colorways,
Alpinestars' updated Tech 7 Enduro boots
have new inner ankle braces and dynamic
heel-compression protectors. The soles are
optimized specifically for enduro riding, and
dual pivot systems give the boots flexibility
for added comfort on or off the bike. A
revamped closure system includes quick-
release polymer buckles combined with
high-impact aluminum frames. Extensive
TPU is located externally to protect from
impacts, and there's more calf adjustability
than the previous Tech 7s.
FLUIDLOGIC GPR50 HYDRATION BACKPACK
$479
https://fluidlogic.com
The FluidLogic GPR50 is an "intelligent" hydration backpack that uses
an app with a proprietary algorithm to generate a personalized hydration
plan by measuring biometrics and environmental conditions. Vibration
sensors in the pack's shoulder strap trigger a notification when it is time
for the rider to take a drink. A press on the wireless handlebar-mounted
remote then delivers fluids—without taking hands off the bars. It is
compatible with most helmets, and the backpack comes equipped with a
50-ounce bladder and a USB-C charging cable.
