PRODUCT NEWS Forma Ice Pro boot THE Forma Ice Pro boot is a restyling of the current Ice boot to which aesthetical details and many safety features have now been added. Ice Pro features the exclusive F.C.S. (Flex Control System), which supports the ankle, permitting excellent flex movement while avoiding unnatural ankle movements, equipped with carbon-effect inserts and anti-scratch bike frame protection. The boot also features many additional protections and reinforcements that make it extremely safe. In addition to the cushioned rear stop in the back of the boot, a replaceable nylon heel protection has been added to minimise any damage when sliding or impact on asphalt. Two new internal protections have also been added, which is in the calf area and the heel area (made in rubber for maximum grip and high temperature resistance), plus injected moulded plastic protections and polyurethane gear pad protection. The upper is in microfiber and features red Air Mesh lining, and comfort and ventilation is guaranteed by AIS (Air Intake System), which allows fresh air to enter the boot through the lateral air intake window sand the vented slider, and hot air is then expelled through the vertical vents on the heel cup protection. The boot has a zip and velcro closure and an elastic panel in the ankle guarantees comfort and an easy fit. A new soft rubber flexible collar with air vents to keep the boot dust free and insect proof has been added. The sole is a personalised double density rubber sole. Inside it features the Dual Flex midsole in TPU and anti-shock/antivibration felt covering. The midsole has a stiff mid/back for heel protection and stable foot contact with the bike pedal and a softer and flexible toe area for elevated gear sensibility and comfort when walking. This boot is also available in the Ice Pro Flow version, where the vented microfiber upper guarantees elevated ventilation during hot temperatures during summer riding. Forma Ice Pro boot will be present in all the main World Championships with Karel Abraham & Danilo Petrucci in MotoGp, Simone Corsi in Moto2, Davide Giugliano & Sylvain Barrier in Superbike. Ice Pro is available in white, black, red and blue and the Ice Pro Flow only in black and white. All Forma boots are CE approved, designed and developed in Italy and made in the European Community.
