TCX RT-RACE PRO AIR
TCX’s flagship racing boot – the high-performance RT-RACE PRO AIR – is now available in three dynamic new colourways; Black/Reflex, Black/Blue/Red and Black/Grey/Red.
Introduced in 2018, the AIR version of the RT-Race boot has been developed with track performance in mind. Giving the boot its aggressive and dynamic style and unparalleled comfort and convenience is the over-injected front and side panel, that allows for an easy step in, along with an upper constructed with durable and lightweight microfibre. The F.F.C Fasten Fit Control internal lacing system, which is linked to the boot lining by a high-tenacity lace, ensures a precise fit and greater sensitivity when riding, and the micro-adjustable, quick-release aluminium buckle is designed to adapt perfectly to various calf shapes.
The innovative AIR TECH lining is a soft-touch mesh providing ultimate breathability, paired with a double density foam for superior comfort around the ankle.
Fully CE-certified and reinforced with a Double Flex Control System, the boots offer greater protection than before whilst still allowing front and rear flexibility. The boots feature newly-designed PU reinforcements in the most vulnerable areas of the foot, such as the shin, ankle, heel and toe, as well as magnesium heel sliders which are interchangeable and highly resistant to wear, and allow for natural sliding across the tarmac in the event of a fall.
TCX RT-RACE PRO AIR
The Race RT Pro Air is fitted with a MICHELIN® BURNOUT sole. Inspired by the MICHELIN® “Power Supersport Evo” tyre, the sole features a tread with differentiated grip zones, designed to guarantee superior grip onto the peg and greater resistance to wear and tear.
Closing features an outside elastic zip with a velcro tab as well as a micro-adjustable buckle that has a PU toothed band all designed to allow for a perfect fastening.

A newly-designed, abrasion-resistant microfibre heat guard helps to offer the best protection and grip on the bike frame.
The breathable lining offers superior comfort around the ankle thanks to the soft-touch mesh combined with double density foam. The newly designed polyurethane shin plate with iron mesh allows for the intake of air adding to the boots’ breathability.
For natural sliding on tarmac, the CE-certified boots feature replaceable abrasion-resistant polyurethane toe sliders and replaceable magnesium and polyurethane heel sliders. The sole is lightweight and made from a mono compound rubber sole with a specific grip area. With an Ortholite® extra-light and durable footbed, the RT-RACE boot allows for the perfect amount of flexibility and comfort whilst remaining secure and protective when out riding.

Introducing the TUCANORAK: The first rain jacket designed to be worn alongside the Termoscud® leg cover from Tucano Urbano, to provide ultimate protection against rain and cold.
Tucano Urbano has been crafting smart urban innovations for the past 21 years, starting with the first-ever Termoscud® leg cover introduced in 1999. Since then, Tucano Urbano has been a brand synonymous with rainwear and weather protection for scooter riders, and now, the Milanese brand launches the new TUCANORAK; a waterproof anorak-inspired jacket with a Termoscud®-ready system to prevent any water infiltration between the leg cover and the body of the rider.
In just three simple steps, any rider can become ready to take on a downpour; first, lift the front pocket of the TUCANORAK jacket, then slide the Termoscud® bib under the pocket, and finally, close the pocket over the bib. Water will simply run off the jacket pocket and over the leg cover, ensuring it doesn’t reach the rider’s body.
The TUCANORAK is constructed with a breathable, lightweight polyamide, which is windproof and has a high water column resistance with taped seams. There is a double waterproof flap covering the central zip and collar, and meets the requirements for rain protection fabrics (PPE Rainwear Category 1) in accordance with EN 343:2019.
The back of the jacket features reflective inserts for added visibility in poor conditions, and there’s a polyester mesh lining for breathability. To ensure the jacket doesn’t flap, it is designed with a long, fitted shape to wrap around the hips and pelvis, and comes with elastic waist and cuff adjusters. For when riders aren’t wearing their helmet off the bike, there’s an ergonomic hood which folds into the neck.
The TUCANORAK is available in four sizes; XS-S, M-L, XL-2XL and 3XL-4XL, with RRP £59.99.
For enhanced protection against cold weather, the Termoscud® leg cover is also compatible with Tucano Urbano’s TERMOWARM heated leg pad; simply place the heated leg pad into the top Termoscud® compartment pocket and switch it on for added warmth.
The TERMOWARM is made with extremely tough Oxford polyamide, and to ensure heat is reflected towards the rider’s legs, there’s an inner aluminium foil to deflect heat on the top, and the rear side is constructed with Aero 3D mesh to spread the heat uniformly. Powered by a power bank with minimum capacity of 5000mAh 5V/2A (not supplied), the heating duration is around 1.5hours based on 5000mAh power.
The TERMOWARM has an RRP of £49.99. For more Tucano Urbano News check out our dedicated page Tucano Urbano News
