We do very much like TCX’s latest boot, the RT-Race, rather a lot. It packs in a huge amount of spec into (we think) a decent price point RRP of £229, and then some…

As most avid bikers will be aware, TCX (formely Oxtar) is a very poplular brand among racers and consumers both, and every year their kit just gets better and better. The RT-Race is the culmination of years of research and development, and you can see a quick, down and dirty unboxing video just below.

The spec for the Boot includes:

Durable, lightweight microfiber upper
Over-injected front and side panel to allow an easy step-in and a precise fit around the foot/leg
Padded rear flex area for a better comfort
Abrasion-resistant microfiber heat guard
FFC Fasten Fit Control lacing system
Soft microfiber gaiter for a perfect fit around the calf
Air Tech breathable lining soft mesh/double density foam for superior comfort around the ankle
DFC Double Flex Control System
Polyurethane shin plate with iron mesh air intakes and micro injections
Polyurethane shift pad integrated in the sole
Ergonomically designed polyurethane heel counter
Replaceable abrasion-resistant polyurethane toe slider
Replaceable magnesium and polyurethane heel sliders
Outside elastic zipper and VELCRO® brand tab closure
Micro-adjustable aluminum buckle and polyurethane-toothed band to allow perfect fastening of the shin plate around the calf
Replaceable anatomic insole
Reinforced midsole with differentiated thickness
Lightweight, mono compound rubber sole

We’re enjoying our time with them thus far, and reckon they’re one of the very best boots on the market. At the very least they should be worth your consideration if you’re looking for a pair of race boots, as they’re comfy, seemingly hard wearing (so far), and make your feet feel nice and safe, too. But you may want to hurry, as we know stocks are vanishing fast, so popular is the new RT!
