Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to Marc Marquez in 2020?
Marquez broke his right humerus in a crash at the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez on 19 July 2020. He had surgery, tried to return, and then needed further operations. He did not compete for the rest of the season, so his title count stayed at eight until his next championship.
What does EN 13634 cover?
EN 13634 is the European standard for protective footwear for motorcycle riders. It covers design and integrity tests such as upper height, seams, sole bond and transverse rigidity, plus optional ankle and shin impact protection. Individual boots may be tested to some or all of these properties.
Are these the boots Marquez wore in 2020?
No. They are a replica inspired by the Repsol Honda look of that period. They are not made or worn by Marc Marquez and have no affiliation with him or the Repsol Honda team. The design only follows the look of that period, so riders should judge it on its own fit and construction.
What is a toe slider for?
A toe slider is a replaceable piece on the toe of a racing boot. When a rider leans far enough for the boot to touch the tarmac, the slider takes the contact so the boot body is not worn away. They are most useful on track days.
