A rubberised overlay protects the bike from scratches and delivers secure footing; it is 76 cm long and 15 cm wide with a 31 x 69 cm lift table. The minimum height is 11.5 cm and it offers three height stops at 24.5, 31.5 and 36.5 cm. New in the Italian specialist Stylmartin footwear 2020 collection are the 'Core' and 'Grid' sneakers. 'Core' has a streamlined, minimalist design, "created to appeal to all generations of motorcyclists", said to be comfortable and versatile with an extremely 'slim' fit resembling leisure boots, without compromising on the necessary protection and certification for riding footwear. The upper is made of grain leather, the lining is waterproof and breathable plus air mesh, and there is malleolus PU internal protection on both sides. Fastening is by laces and the footbed is anatomic, changeable and breathable. The sole is made of rubber and comes in either black or white and available colours are black, black/white or brown. 'Grid' is intended to be a summer model based on the same technical principles as 'Core', but crafted of different materials, more suited to hot weather. The textile upper is slightly waxed to make it water repellent, able to cope with humidity and light showers, while the absence of an internal membrane ensures the highest level of ventilation for the foot. Other features include nappa hydro leather inserts, breathable air mesh lining and malleolus internal protection on both sides. Only in blue 'Grid' They are a plug & play easy install that replaces all the original fork internal components for a modification-free, fully reversible performance suspension upgrade.
