Hi, which one would you recommend between the SMX6 v2 and the Nexus from Dainese ? thanks

@cashflownpv 2 года назад

TY for this video. I currently own the Vertigo II and wanted another pair of boots. Alpinestars SMX6 V2 or Sidi ST boots? Decisions decisions.

@mattpurplemp Год назад

I have these but I really struggle to get them on over the GP plus v2 race suit, they fit perfect but it's just when I go to zip them up I can only get them like 90% off the way zipped

@artightrokay9131 5 лет назад

@RevZilla would you recommend this boot for commuting to college and city riding? Or should i sacrifice protection and get the tcx blend or maybe a short boot like the smx 1 R? I'm buying my first riding gear from you guys.

@RevZilla 5 лет назад

If you can only get one pair of boots, get these more protective boots. You can still walk around a bit in these just fine. -DrewZilla

@remzidemir1910 3 года назад

Heyyy Revzilla !! I wear size 41 in sneakers and size 40 in boots. What number should I buy for this bot?

@rustcohle6248 5 лет назад

How are these boots in 50-60 degree weather? I do most of my riding in warmer weather but not sure if I should get the regular version or vented. I really like the color options with the vented version but would like to ride comfortably in early spring when its a little cooler.

@RevZilla 5 лет назад

The vented versions feel pretty cold below about 70, so you might want to go for the non-vented version. -DrewZilla

@fotiskalathas8926 5 лет назад

Hi, is the sizing the same as with the previous version or maybe they come a bit larger than standard? Thank you.

@RevZilla 5 лет назад

Sizing is similar to the previous version. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-smx-6-v2-boots

@thetriplex9365 7 лет назад

A note: the Gore-Tex version doesn't have a toe slider, whereas the Drystar one does. (In Europe, the original SMX-6 had it, but you guys in US didn't get that.)

@kshred3043 2 года назад

Thanks for clearing up that mystery. I had to purchase on-line because no local stock and was not paying enough attention to the photos.. I just received the Gore-Tex version and was a bit perplexed that it didn't have the toe slider. In fact it was a bit of a WTF ? moment. But all good. Actually, I prefer the look without them and have zero plans for the track.

Hi, may I know how comfortable the Mag 1 compare to this boots. I am looking for a boots that is protective enough but still comfort enough for walking. I am trying to choose between Sidi & Alpinestars.

@RevZilla 4 года назад

The Sidis aren't very comfortable for walking. They're very track-focused. The Alpinestars are much more comfortable for walking and street riding. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-smx-6-v2-vented-boots *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-smx-6-v2-boots

Would you recommend this in everyday street riding, with some walking around?

@mikhailtessier1 7 лет назад

Is the red actually red? it looks very orange to me. I am trying to match my new Alpinestars air v2 jacket

@RevZilla 7 лет назад

In the video, those are the waterproof Drystar version of the SMX 6 v2 Boots, and the red is actually red in person, so they'll match. The vented version of the boots have a fluorescent red accent, which won't match your jacket. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-smx-6-v2-drystar-boots

@SidOfRivia 10 месяцев назад

difference between these and SMX S? also how do they compare to forma freccia? these would be my only riding boots.

@RevZilla 10 месяцев назад

Neither the SMX S / Forma Freccia have any hard ankle support like you see on the medial (inside) of the SMX 6 v2 Boots. This helps prevent the ankle from bending side to side in the event of a crash. We'd opt for the SMX 6 v2 between the three.

@schux93 4 года назад

This or the SMX S? What are the big differences for street? I ride yamaha R6.

@RevZilla 4 года назад

The SMX S is a step down from the SMX 6 v2 and it does not include the hard brace on the outer ankle to prevent from lateral torsion. Otherwise they are basically the same boot. I personally love the SMX v2 Boots because of that added protection at the ankle, but Alpinestars likes to give options for every rider. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or cs@revzilla.com.

How is the Drystar version performing in summer temperatures (80-85°F)?

@RevZilla 5 лет назад

They'll feel warm, but if you wear good wicking socks (with Coolmax for example), it'll help. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-socks-tour-summer *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revzilla-coolmax-moto-socks *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/klim-vented-socks

@rybarry 5 лет назад

@@RevZillaThank you. One more question - is there a significant/noticeable difference compared to standart version regarding performance in warm/hot temperatures?

@RevZilla 5 лет назад

There's not a huge difference with the non-waterproof, so if you'll ride in the rain, it's worth it to get the waterproof version. -DrewZilla

@twistychaser8973 6 лет назад

How are these compared to the sidi roarr and tcx race boot

@RevZilla 6 лет назад

The TCX RT-Race Boots provide the most ankle stability, while the Roarr and SMX 6 v2 Boots offer just a bit less. All three have similar heel, toe, and shin protection. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/tcx-rt-race-boots *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sidi-roarr-boots *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-smx-6-v2-boots

@FirstMrNick 4 года назад

would these make a good boot for dual sport riding?

@RevZilla 4 года назад

There really isn't enough grip on the sole in mud/dirt conditions or protection against the tongue area from branches etc. These would help you on the road portion of a Dual Sport ride, but not really the woods/trails. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat

are these narrow toe box? i didnt fit in sidi crossfire 2 srs boots, and needed somthing wide, ended up with gaerne sg10. would i like the fit of these smx 6 v2 boots??? do you recommend?

@RevZilla 9 месяцев назад

Alpinestars has a slightly wide fitting toe box. It'll likely be between the Gaerne and the Sidi in terms of width.

awesome thanks for reply/info!@@RevZilla

@Rav123123 7 лет назад

Did they fix the screw that comes loose at the ankle? I RMA'd one boot to A* (they requested both, and I did send both). A few weeks later the other screw came out. There is no way for the customer to fix this screw

@dvera9726 4 года назад

So if I wear a US shoe size 10 in every shoe what size will I get these boots in European size 43 or 44

@RevZilla 4 года назад

44 would be your best bet, its the same size as me. You might have a little bit of room around the toes, but the 43 would just be too tight in my opinion. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455. -Pat

I'm stuck between these and the Sidi cobra air, which one would you recommend for a daily commute and weekend ride on a zx6r? Thanks!

Both are really good options for your riding. The Cobras have better toe and heel protection, while the SMX 6 v2 Boots have better ankle protection. -DrewZilla

@amitaiefrati4111 7 лет назад

Hi, what is the difference between them and the regular SMX-6 and SMX plus

@RevZilla 7 лет назад

Compared to the previous-generation SMX-6 Boots, the v2 Boots have a new accordion stretch panel across the top of the foot that improves flex, new dual density reinforcement on the medial side of the ankle, and an updated sole. The SMX Plus Boots are a step up from the SMX-6 and newer SMX-6 v2 Boots. The SMX Plus Boots have a more secure buckle closure, more protective ankle protection to limit torsion/hyperextension, better heel reinforcement, and an internal lacing system. -DrewZilla

@amitaiefrati4111 7 лет назад

So the SMX Plus are newer then the SMX-6 boots? and more protective then the SMX-6? thanks

@RevZilla 7 лет назад

Yes, the SMX Plus Boots are more protective than the SMX-6 and SMX-6 v2 Boots. The SMX Plus Boots came out around the same time as the old SMX 5 Boots and were recently updated to have an aluminum toe slider instead of plastic. Otherwise, the SMX Plus Boots are about the same as they were in 2013. The SMX-6 v2 (version 2) are replacing the SMX-6 Boots, and the SMX-6 Boots replaced the SMX 5 Boots. -DrewZilla

@mitchxr2112 4 года назад

I broke my gearbox with quickshifter with this boot! Because the rubber part with which you operate the lever when shifting is too soft. it is pressed in such a way that you do not fully forward shift with the quickshifter, despite using enough power. I have had this several times with hard acceleration with all the consequences! Be warned! This boot is okay for normal driving and shifting with the clutch. It's also comfortable and waterproof, but I definitely do not recommend it for sporty driving! I have not bought this boot here, but I find it necessary to warn others before they buy it.
