Sidi Sport was founded over 40 years ago by sports
footwear icon, Dino Signori. Dino, along with a small staff of enthusiasts,
started by rethinking how trekking boots were made, then moved on to create the
first rear entry ski boot. From there he took the first steps in building what
is today the premier brand in bicycling shoes - Sidi. Not being satisfied with
these more mainstream sports, in his spare time, Dino dabbled in one of his
country's favorite sport - motorcycling!
Not being one to mess around (the man to this day is a
dynamo), in 1969 Dino jumped into moto in a big way, he aligned himself and Sidi
with Italy's motorcycle hero, Giacomo Agostini, who helped Sidi advance road
race footwear to new heights. At the same time Dino signed up an outgoing
Belgian, five time world champion Joel Robert. Sidi created for Robert the
world's first purpose built motocross boot. This boot was sold in the USA under
the brand name Full Bore that, at the time, was the premier aftermarket line in
this country.
In subsequent years, Dino's son Daniele and daughter
Rosella, together with the Sidi design team, have created some of the most
groundbreaking designs in motorcycle footwear. The Royal boot was the first boot
to offer inner ankle protection, the SR sole replacement system; which is still
in use today as is the bullet proof and we must say, perfect, cam-lock off road
boot buckle system. Over the past few years the hinged and exceptionally rigid
Flex, Force and now the exceptional Crossfire and Charger off road boots, the
Vertebra sport road boot and most recently the fantastic Vertigo series of sport
road boots have taken the market by storm and Sidi's competitors by surprise.
MetricBikes urges you to take the time to consider all the
different aspects of the various models of Sidi boots. These features will help
keep you safer when you ride and the fashion in which these features are built
into the boots will give you years of service. These features and Sidi's quality
combine to create the finest motorcycling footwear ever made boots that make
Dino (DI) Signori (SI) proud. DISI - no, that does not have the right sound; let's
switch those letters - SIDI!
