Shift Racing Partners With XDL Series

At the core is the new Shift Kicker shoe, which is packed with performance features like a reinforced midsole for stability and a non-slip sole for optimal traction in all riding conditions. Medial and lateral plastic ankle protection protects against impacts and abrasions and a secure alloy buckle closure adds additional safety and a secure and personalized fit. The speed lace system makes it quick and easy to put on and take off the shoes, direct inject rubber atop the toe box provides extra durability and grip while shifting, and the breathable, moisture wicking interior materials offer exceptional comfort in the heat of a session. The Shift Kicker shoe will also be the shoe worn by XDL staff.

Weve been involved in Sportbike Freestyle for several years stated Shift Media Relations manager Brian Horton. Teaming up with the XDL Championship was just a natural progression for us. Shift is all about aggression, creativity and pushing your limits, which is a perfect fit with sportbike freestyle. Youve got shoes made for just about any and every sport in the world, but sportbike freestyle riders were still out there risking injury in shoes designed for riding a skateboard. The art and aggression involved in sportbike freestyle requires a shoe that is just as specialized as any other sport out there, and were proud to supply both the top riders and the top championship with our performance footwear.
