Sport and race motorcycle boots are purpose-built for the demands of track days and spirited road riding. Shark Leathers stocks Fusport, TCX and Falco boots with CE-certified EN 13634 protection, multi-point ratchet closures, articulated ankle systems and compound soles engineered for grip on pegs and pavement.
How to choose sport and race motorcycle boots
Sport and race boots prioritise ankle articulation, impact resistance and abrasion protection. EN 13634 governs motorcycle footwear with four protection zones: zone 1 (shaft height), zone 2 (abrasion resistance), zone 3 (transverse rigidity) and zone 4 (ankle energy absorption). Level 2 in any zone is the higher performance rating; track-focused boots typically target Level 2 across all four zones.
Fusport XR1 Xtreme R
The XR1 Xtreme R is Fusport's flagship CE-certified race boot. Construction uses hard-wearing PU Microfibre with full perforation for airflow. The F.I.A.S (Fusport Internal Articulation System) controls ankle movement without sacrificing lever feel. Three-point F.R.C.S ratchet closures lock across the forefoot, ankle and calf independently. The Tri-Compound sole delivers three grip zones for peg feel, pit walking and WOP (water, oil, petrol) resistance. Toe sliders are individually replaceable. Sizes run EU 39 to EU 48.
Fusport Rennen V2
The Rennen V2 is Fusport's road-to-track entry point. PU Microfibre construction, perforated panelling, articulated ankle protection and TPU heel and shin inserts combine with a WOP-resistant sole and ratchet calf closure. Sizes run EU 40 to EU 48.

| Fusport Rennen V2 | Ratchet calf + velcro | Articulated TPU | WOP resistant | 40-48 | CE EN 13634 |
Buying guidance
For dedicated track use, prioritise EN 13634 Level 2 ankle energy absorption (zone 4) and Level 2 transverse rigidity (zone 3); these zones do the most work in a low-side or high-side. A replaceable toe slider signals a genuine race boot, indicating lean angles beyond 45 degrees are accommodated. Fit should be snug through the heel with no heel lift; a 1-2 mm toe gap is normal. Size up half an EU size for thick thermal socks on cold track mornings. Road riders who run occasional track days benefit from a sport-road crossover with a WOP-resistant sole.
Frequently asked questions
What is EN 13634 and why does it matter for race boots?
EN 13634 is the European safety standard for motorcycle footwear. It tests four protection zones: shaft height, abrasion resistance, transverse rigidity and ankle energy absorption. Each zone is rated Level 1 (baseline) or Level 2 (higher performance). Race and sport boots typically achieve Level 2 across all zones, making them significantly more protective than general touring footwear.
Are Fusport XR1 Xtreme R boots suitable for road riding as well as track days?
Yes. The XR1 Xtreme R uses a Tri-Compound sole rated for water, oil and petrol resistance, which is practical for road use. The three-point ratchet closure and full perforation suit warm-weather road riding. The boot is CE-certified to EN 13634, so it meets legal protective standards in all riding contexts.
What size range do Fusport sport boots come in?
The Fusport XR1 Xtreme R is available in EU sizes 39 to 48. The Fusport Rennen V2 runs from EU 40 to EU 48. Both models are designed for a secure, close fit; if you are between sizes, Fusport generally recommends sizing up by one EU size.
