tvscum 43 Posted March 16, 2016 Looks like they are closing out the SIDI Charger boot on sale at $269 http://www.chaparral-racing.com/product/sidi-charger-boots/043-1150.aspx They are being replaced by the X-3 at $375. http://www.chaparral-racing.com/product/sidi-x-treme-boots/043-sid-xtr-bkbk-40.aspx This is the mid-level SIDI MX boot. They run a bit small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobATK94 1 Posted March 16, 2016 Anyone have a pair? Can anyone compare to a tech 7? Charger and tech 7 seem to be the same level/price point. Is the crossfire 2 worth the extra couple hundred? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 104 Posted March 16, 2016 I have the charger and my dad has the crossfire 2. For me the chargers work great and i wouldn't pay the extra for the crossfire. Ive ridden with my dads a couple times abd they works great more flex in heel. Had my chargers for over 4 years probably 10k miles and ive trashed them gonna get it resoled and new toe caps up in oceanside and put another 10k on them. Btw if you want the crossfires 2 there a vender on ebay out of holland i belive that has them for a good discount and i know 2 people who have ordered and they did show up in mail no scam.

Vacman 0 Posted March 16, 2016 Crossfire 2 is well worth the extra bucks. Lots of stories out there of broken bones with lesser boots. I've owned the equivalent of the Charger...they're better than some, but not great at ankle protection. They're more of an ADV boot.

Bp619 104 Posted March 16, 2016 Yeah for only $90 more i would get the crossfire for 200 i wouldnt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Diego 40 Posted March 16, 2016 Wow, great price! I recently bought my "dream boot," a pair of Sidi Crossfire 2s. I like the Sidi boots a lot and may get a pair of the Chargers if for no other reason than they are a bit narrower in the angle area and I can wear them under more riding pants, to include jeans. Because the Crossfires are wide in the ankle, they limit the riding pant options to just two (from my inventory). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 559 Posted March 16, 2016 And if you buy the Chargers from Chapparal off of E-bay, you can even get an interest free 6 month pay plan from Pay Pal to buy them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That price is $412 now. And you better make sure you know your size or you have ship back to Germany at your expense. No it's not. You're looking at it with VAT included which obviously doesn't apply and is backed out when you ship them outside the EU. I carried it to the end a could have ordered a pair today. It's not like this is something new or unique...people have been buying from FC moto (and other euro shops) for years. Don't spread misinformation if you haven't even done a bit of homework yourself. I can tell you from firsthand experience that it's no different than buying from any other online vendor, except way cheaper. I had my boots in 4 days via DHL from when my order was accepted. That's nearly faster than Revzilla (who are now owned by CycleGear, btw.) And regarding shipping something back, if you don't know your size in Sidi of course you should go try them on locally first. But if you know your Sidi size they run true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ptkatoomer 114 Posted March 17, 2016 For me it's all about the fit and feel. Over two years ago I broke down and bought a pair of the Tae's. I couldn't believe how much difference in comfort a really good quality boot could be. They look kinda beat but still feel really solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
