Italian boot manufacturer Forma has been crafting quality motorcycle products for two decades now, although its presence in Australia has been limited up until recently, when the brand’s distribution was adopted by the highly-regarded Lusty Industries operation.

Spearheading its MX line-up of boots is the Predator 2.0 model – a premium dirt bike boot that we’ve been putting to the test over the last month.

It’s always easy to be skeptical about new or unfamiliar brands, especially when it comes to an important piece of protective equipment, such as motocross boots. I was already aware of the technology and development that has gone the Predator 2.0, although my mind was put at ease immediately after trying them on.
