The 2010 Offroad AXO collection includes enduro-specific gear in the form of the Enduro WP Pants and Dart Enduro WP boots. The pants are highly durable, made from a perforated polyester and nylon mix, and are antibacterial and antiperspirant. They have a removable Watertech waterproof lining and have additional space and movement around the knees and waist. The Enduro WP Pants are fully adjustable around the waist and ankles and they have a convenient ratchet closure mechanism.
The pants are available in black in European sizes ranging from 46 to 58. They can be matched to the Dart Enduro WP boots, made from completely waterproof materials. They have a new lever closure system designed to remain closed even under hard conditions. The boots are adjustable around the calf area and can be attached to the pants via a velcro strap. The tapered design means that the rider can enjoy full movement and flexibility, without interfering with the bike. The boots have leather uppers, a comfortable suede lining and in-built shin protectors. The Dart enduro boot is available in sizes 40 to 49.
If you wanted to see the work that goes into your motorcycle gear, you should check out these interesting videos from AXO on the manufacturing process of a pair of motocross boots and a leather suit. The first video shows a professional, AXO MX boot in the making, while the second, after the jump, shows a leather suit being made. After seeing these videos, I’ll never complain about the cost of things again!
