Testing the Vanucci RV5 Pro boots

Discovery

Made of a dense microfiber fabric with a leather look, the RV5 Pro do not forget to be attractive and particularly light. Everything about them expresses sport. Dedicated to exclusively sporting use by their specific design, they incorporate the latest protection systems and adjustments.

Heel and ankle are heavily reinforced on the RV5 Pro

We immediately notice the many reinforcements and protuberances on the shins and heels, some with mesh extractors. But it is above all the side reinforcement plates that attract the attention. These articulated, profiled and textured uprights stiffen the boot in order to minimize any twists or tensions during falls. For the same reasons, the top of the boot is surrounded by an important preformed plastic protection. There is a profiled spoiler on the front and rear crown, preventing any grip on the ground and providing optimal protection to the air flow. The opening zip, topped with a large velcro, is located on the internal side. The adjustment of the external tongue is entrusted to a "micrometric" strap of the ski / snowboard boot type..

The closure is completed by a micrometric system

Many gussets surround the boots for greater flexibility and a yoke adorns the support of the selector. Finally, removable steel spiders protect the front of the RV5 Pro. Undoubtedly dynamic, these Vanucci boots assert a competition style.

Test

For maximum precision, the Vanucci RV5 Pro deliver a snug fit. The upper tightening of the rod is effective, but its action limited for the thinnest legs. We would have appreciated an additional adjustment velcro on the outside. If you are cut like a wader, the top of the boot will be less enveloping, but without in any way hampering efficiency in action. The general comfort is very good, ensuring comfortable motorcycle-paddock trips. The sole offers measured rigidity, an ideal compromise between resistance and a good feeling of support.

Calf and tibia are wrapped in protective shells

Even new, the RV5 Pro are forgotten from the first turns. The studied volumes of the reinforcements do not rest on the motorcycle and leave a lot of ease in movement. Naturally, the feel of the controls and the grip of the soles on the footrests call for no comment. These are made of natural rubber and resist stress well..

In the furnace of certain circuits, the Vanucci RV5 Pro maintain good thermal regulation. Note that an Air model further optimizes this point, the microfiber then being fully perforated. If some like to wear sport boots on a daily basis, they seem well typed for such use. In addition, not waterproof, they will appreciate little, just like you, rainy journeys..

Conclusion

High-performance and remarkably finished, the Vanucci RV5 Pro boots deliver first-rate performance. Taking up an aesthetic common to the brand’s products, as powerful as it is elegant, they offer comfort, efficiency and safety for your evolutions on the circuit. Priced at € 249.99, they offer an excellent service / price ratio. At Alpinestars, the SMX Plus model claims € 319.95 for comparable qualities. However, it incorporates Kevlar fibers and an even more precise fit..
Outsiders of choice, the Vanucci RV5 Pro compose a rational top-of-the-range product, for bikers looking for an innovative product..

In the end, these Vanucci racing boots offer excellent value for money.
