The motorcycling landscape is a place of wondrous flux as manufacturers vie for position amongst current trends. It's called striking while the iron is hot, folks, and it's what keeps the lights on around here. For some time now, the traditional sport-touring class has been left out of the fun, relegated to the room's corner chair, where it's watched a bullish ADV segment enter the market's collective garages – oh, the indignity! Yet, change is afoot, as British marque Triumph lends another helping hand to the conventional sport-touring segment, adding to its ever-growing Tiger family with the 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800.

Not to wax poetic, but choosing the right gear requires a little introspection. What are we going to use it for? What do we expect out of our gear? What is the meaning of life – well, perhaps the last one is a bit too heady for a boot review, ladies and gents. Italian motorcycle safety apparel manufacturer Alpinestars is here to help simplify the existential gear selection process with its heavily updated do-it-all road-going boot, the SMX-6 V3.
