Brian offers unparalleled customer service and I could not be more pleased with my purchase. Will be returning for all future moto needs.
Got these to replace Sidi Adv 2. The added protection can be seen and felt upon taking them out of the box and even more so when putting them on. The memory foam that firmly encases the ankle combined with the solid outer boot and hinge should keep the ankle as safe as possible. The stiff sole and firm but low-profile toe box will keep the foot from getting smashed. Despite having the feel of a ski boot, the SG-12 is absolutely walkable.
Should have bought them to begin with instead of seeking a compromise in the Sidi Adv 2.
I’m a 10 1/2 US in running shoes and 11 fit perfectly in both the SG-12 and Adv 2.
Thanks Brian, for taking the time to explain the differences and shipping these out very quickly. Looking forward to years or riding in them!!
While dealing with Brian on this purchase it became obvious I was dealing with a highly knowledgeable, old school motorcycle guy. It reminded me of the guys I would talk with 30 years ago who knew the products, all the products. Tell him what you want and he'll tell you what you need. And it will likely be just that. There's value in this service. The SG12's are a heavy duty boot. To the point I was asking myself " do I need this much protection?" After breaking my leg at the ankle waring my old boots the answer was clearly yes. There are going to take some getting used to no doubt about it but you will have THE best protection money can buy. I can't compare to the Tech 10's because I haven't worn those. The Klim helmet Brian recommended is fantastic as well.
Highly recommend Brian and Atomic Moto! Brian spent a ton of time on the phone with me gathering the info he needed to guide me in getting the best boots for me. Ended up with these Gaerne SG12’s and I couldn’t be happier. I have been recommending Atomic Moto to all my riding buddies and I am (almost) looking forward to the next time I need to buy some boots, it will definitely be from Atomic!
This was for my Grandson Birthday and it just what he needed. He had several
places he needed these boots for. Work - Motor Cycle - Plays Drums in Group
and he will wear them on stage Drumming. These are great for the snow when
he does his work in mountains. He works for the state and sent places that these boots are rugged to withhold his support. Great quality and high level.
Love them; need size 10, ordered 9; run slightly smaller. Was told I couldn’t return them, but not sure why…
Boots are awesome. Confidence inspiring. It is taking some adjustment for shifting and rear braking but not a big deal. Taking a bit for break-in but better every time I put them on. Brian’s advice was spot for me. I am no pro but with these boots I feel much more connected to the bike! Best price I found and arrive on time as promised.
I bought these boots because they are real leather with a stitched on sole . I bought them from atomic moto because I bought a set from them several years ago and had a good experience. With this pair Brian really work with me over the phone with photos and video of my foot . In an effort to get the correct size the first time. From just trying these on he did it. I'd like to ride with them but that just has not happened yet. They look great and feel good walking around the house.
It was a pleasure purchasing these from Atomic moto. Great boots, great advice and great price.
I'm a hardcore Astars guy. I was looking for a better ventilated Tech 7 replacement and found Atomic Moto over on ADV Rider and then YouTube. I couldn't find a bad word about A.M. or Brian.
After a good phone call to discuss my sizing issue with the Tech 7, Brian had a pair of these on the way. My first ride was 200 mile off-road trip, and I never missed the trusty Tech 7 once. This was a fantastic swap, and it's absolutely a better, more technical, and more comfortable boot.
