Thor Quadrant Motocross Boots Review

Thor broke into the motocross business producing flash kits and excellent casual wear. Since then, they have understood that the safety and protection side of the industry is just as profitable. They tried their hand, starting with the basic Thor Quadrant boots. Since then they have modified and developed their products making sure that they suit consumer needs. The end product is extremely good, and the latest Thor Quadrant Boots will be putting up a huge fight to the likes of Alpinestars Tech 6, which have dominated market share.

The great thing about Thor is the exceptional value for money that they offer. Their products, whilst they are not the finest in the industry, exceed the expectations as far as quality is concerned. The Alpinestars Tech 6 range in price, although the RRP is somewhere in the area of $350. To be honest, whilst the Tech 6 does have a few extra characteristics, it is nothing noticeable. What is noticeable is that Thor Quadrant Boots are available from most dealers for well under $200, which means your getting the same boot, for nearly half the price.

The Thor Quadrant has been totally redesigned to have a balance between design, fit, comfort, flex and protection. The Quadrant is designed to comfortably wrap around the leg, ankle and foot to give the performance and feel the motocross rider requires.

The medial abrasion plate is injection molded and paired with pre curved shin plates offering excellent protection against weather and the inevitable knocks. The re-engineered buckles and action pivot buckle provide comfortable and secure holding without losing the feel necessary from your boots and are fully adjustable.

An elastic gaiter at the top keeps out the majority of dirt and water, while a split grain leather shield provides protection from the exhaust.

The economy is spinning out of control and everyone seems to be going nuts. But stop, since the ‘recession’ has sunk its teeth in on a worldwide scale, have you not noticed the price of motocross is coming down? Sure, keep going to your local dealer and you’ll pay the same prices; after all, they still have their expenses to pay. So where is the cheapest price to buy the new Thor Quadrant Boot from?

Well, you can probably assume what is coming next. eBay and Amazon are the biggest and fastest growing marketplaces on a global worldwide scale. eBay sells over $4bn worth of goods every month and has a customer base of 88 million, that’s really impressive. There are so many motocross dealers on the two marketplaces combined, that price wars have broken out, making them the best place to shop.

If you don’t believe me, then try checking for yourself. I just got quoted over $200 including shipping for my Thor Quadrant Boot, yet I can get them including delivery for just $175 on eBay. Obviously this represents a huge saving and money that be spent on my bike!

The great thing about eBay these days is that they are literally online shops. If you are purchasing one item such as motocross boots from a seller, check their other auctions. There might be something else you fancy and if so, drop them an email asking for a deal on either the products, shipping or both, and save yourself even more cash!
