All about TCX boots…
Comfort. Style. Safety.
TCX Motorcycle Boots & Shoes.
Often you’ll see our lot wearing
what looks like ordinary shoes
when we do tests and features in
the magazines. They might look like
normal casual wear, but the fact
is that motorcycle wear is actually
really high tech stuff.
If you follow the magazine, you’ll have
noticed that there is a new brand of
motorcycle footwear in SA in the form of
TCX footwear imported by the bunch at
Henderson Racing Products.
We take a look at the product, where
it comes from and the technology
and testing that goes into making this
footwear…
Straight out of Italy, TCX Boots are
a premium quality brand that brings
together a wide-range of expertise in the
design and production of motorcycle
boots. Whether you are looking for
touring or adventure boots, motorcycle
shoes, or tip of the spear racing boots,
TCX is all about motorcycle footwear.
From old-school cruisers to the around
town commuter crowd and full-throttle
racers, TCX makes footwear for every
motorcyclist.
The brand’s story began in 1999,
with the launch of the first motorbike
footwear with an international
patent - the T.C.S. (Torsion Control
System). This system allows controlled
movement of the foot laterally and
longitudinally and protects the ankle
from injury.
It was an immediate success. Soon
OXTAR, (today TCX), became a sector
leader, consolidating its distribution
internationally and gained important
market shares globally.
Today the TCX range is the most
complete on the market, offering
road racing and off-road, Touring and
leisure footwear in all forms, including
footwear for ladies.

one could imagine. As the most

CE CERTIFIED TECHNOLOGY AND
PROTECTION
In 2000, TCX Boots was the first
to launch motorcyclist boots that

regulations.
“Safety is always a priority. TCX
was the first company in the sector
to introduce CE Certification on all
products. This certification is awarded
at a European level by independent
bodies as a guarantee that the
footwear has passed stringent safety
tests. Finding the right motorcycle
boot for your individual needs is not
always easy.
