TCX Dartwood Tex, shoes

Certified motorcycle shoe with an urban and modern look, perfect for daily commuting. Ventilated, made from various fabrics, with suede leather protectors on the toe near the gear shift. It offers lasting comfort, protection, and versatile style, even on the hottest days.

Designed for modern urban motorcyclists, Dartwood Tex is a certified ventilated motorcycle shoe that is perfect for everyday use during the hottest time of the year. It combines protection with distinctive style and maximum comfort – both in the saddle and when walking.

The upper combines lightweight fabric that keeps the foot cool on hot days with the durability of suede leather protection in the gear shift area. Reflective inserts ensure visibility at night. Inside, the shoe is extremely comfortable yet uncompromisingly safe.

Protection is provided by reinforcements at the toe and heel, as well as inserts at the ankles made from D3O® – this special material stiffens on impact and protects the foot only when necessary. In addition, the Zplate® insert combines lateral stiffness with longitudinal flexibility, guaranteeing maximum safety. The shoe follows all the natural movements of the foot – both in the saddle and when walking – while protecting it and preventing bruising in the event of an impact.

Optimal grip and high stability thanks to the wear-resistant Groundtrax® rubber sole with a special hexagonal block structure.

Otholite® insoles combine durable cushioning with breathability. Finally, the side zipper system and laces, which can be easily stowed in the elastic band on the tongue, ensure easy closure as well as a perfect fit, ergonomics, and practicality.

Dartwood Tex is the ideal motorcycle shoe for everyday city riding in the warmest season. Lightweight, comfortable, and protective for those who also want to stand out in style.

ZPLATE®

Lateral stability, frontal flexibility. The ZPLATE insert in the midsole maintains the correct flexibility of the shoe for optimal riding and walking comfort, while ensuring lateral stiffness to protect the foot if it should become trapped under the vehicle.

Groundtrax® outsoles

Groundtrax® outsoles are designed to provide stability, grip, and traction both on the footrests and when dismounting. This is due to the design of the lugs and grooves, as well as the choice of rubber compound, which also maximizes the abrasion resistance and self-cleaning properties of the tread. The sole features a special shift area to ensure greater precision while riding.

D3O® reinforcements

In their raw form, D3O® molecules move freely thanks to their non-Newtonian features, making the material soft and flexible. Upon impact, the D3O® molecules lock together, absorbing and dispersing the energy of shocks, significantly reducing the force transmitted to the body compared to standard materials.
