Product: TCX Comp 2 Boots
Colors: Black/Silver, White, Black
Sizes: US Men’s 5-14
Price: $242.99
Key Features:
-Upper leather and padded micro fiber area for good flexibility
-Breathable fabric lining
-Tosion Control System allows flexibility but limits range of motion for added protection with no inner bootie required.
What We Liked:
-Very light weight compared to most boots.
-Boots come with extra pair of anodized buckles.
-There was no pinching in any circumstances and the boots are very comfortable right away with plenty of toe room.
-The top boot leather liner creates a very good seal, keeping rocks and dirt out.
-The Comp 2 looks like a higher end boot and nearly identical to its bigger bro
ther, the Pro 2, with out the extra cost. They even use the same torsion control system that works very well.
What We Didn’t Like:
-They definitely felt a bit stiff at first and take about two to three rides to be fully broken in.
-One of the screws for the buckle fittings attached to the top of the boot backed itself out on the first. Not a big issue and quickly fixed but still noteworthy.
-There was a little, but noticeable amount of flex in the soles on big G-outs and landings.
What We Really Think:
Boots are essential part of any riders arsenal. If your feet aren’t comfortable then you cannot perform to the best of your ability, at least that’s what Lieutenant Dan always told us. However, not everyone wants to spend an arm and a leg just to be comfortable. The TCX Comp 2 boots offer a quality design at an affordable price for features normally found on far more expensive footwear. If you are serious about racing but need to save some coin for gas and parts, check out the new TCX Comp 2.

Gotta agree with Aldo, give these boots a chance guys. Have had TCXs pro 2 boots for 7 years. This comp 2 is the same boot without the inner bootie. Quality, comfort, and protection are as good as the overpriced gearne and over-rated alpinestars.

Most boot companies design there footwear to last one racing season, nothing more. If you ride on a regular, or even semi-regular basis, you boots should only last you two years at the absolute most. Any more than that and their supportive and protective qualities are extremely diminished. We did not say that the TCX's are cheap, but they do offer far more support than similarly priced boots.

wow "one racing season" if thats the case I shoud of had gone through like 6 boots by now! thanks for the info bayodome!

SIDI crossfire 425 bucks, love em!

Wow one year huh? thats nutty, I got my A-Stars Tech 6's when I was 14 years old, been usin them all the way until I was 20 and they lasted no problem, never had a defect or problem, soul could be replaced ( Which Alpinestar will do for free ) but thats about it . Throughout that time I raced motocross every weekend went riding all week so I dont know, I think if you get a good quality boot like Alpinestars or Gaerne then they'll last you for a long time. I'd suggest Alpinestar myself cause any sort of issue you EVER have, A-Stars covers you like no other, they fix your stuff for free and they'll even send you out a pair of LONER Boots……….crazy right?

sending in my tech 10's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 14th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
teck 10s are better btosports.com have some for $319
October 14th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
So your saying that your feet have not grown in 6 years??? That is pretty amazing!!
October 14th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
So much ignorance …do you guys support the sport or what!
October 15th, 2009 at 1:38 am
give me a break. this is a better boot than a tech 7…and cheaper. It actually has a functional, protective bracing system in the torsion control system, something the tech 7 doesn't even come close to having.

And of course most of these comments about spending big bucks on their feet come from guys that buy a cheap helmet, go figure, wonder which end is more important?
October 15th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Yeah btosports.com also sucks ass, if you want good service go to BikeBandit.com they do Price Matching so you can get the same price if they are cheaper, I know Alpinestars has a MAP set pricing so if btosports.com is pricing them too low they can get in trouble from A-stars!
October 15th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Yeah my feet were a size 11 when I was 13 years old and I still wear a size 11 in my new tech 10's so STFU smart ass

I also agree with Aldo, I have seen these boots and know plenty of guys that have bought them and been very happy! The guys that are quoting the cheaper prices are listing discounted online prices against the suggested retail of the TCX boots, compare the suggested retail of Alpinestars or Gaernes and you'll see a huge difference. I know the guys at TCX boots and for that matter Aldo from Utopia optics and they are a good group of guys that support the sport and sell great products. These guys spend there weekends at tracks away from there families to support riders at the tracks, support the guys that are supporting the sport.
Buy TCX boots and Utopia goggles!

The ones available from BTO are 3 sizes of the silver boot on closeout sale.. thats it.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Reg. price on A-stars T10 is $579

Sidi Crossfire SRS were rated #1 by the transworld crew themselves. i have used them for 4 years now and not once have i had one foot/leg injury. yes they are a bit pricey at $500 but a broken foot or leg is how much?
