Italian gear maker Dainese has unveiled the Nexus 3 الدراجات النارية boot, featuring a detachable shin guard that allows riders to wear it inside or outside riding pants. Priced at €299.95 (~SAR 1,125), the boot combines track-level protection with daily comfort and arrives in Gulf markets by Q2 2025.
Italian motorcycle gear specialist Dainese has launched the Nexus 3 boot, a versatile riding shoe that adapts to both track and street use. Its key innovation is a removable shin guard, letting riders wear the boot under regular trousers or over riding pants.
What’s new in the Dainese Nexus 3?
The standout feature is the exclusive “In-Out” system. The hard shin guard on the front of the boot can be detached. When attached, it provides maximum protection for track riding. When removed, the boot becomes slimmer and can be worn under normal pants for everyday use.
Protection and materials
The Nexus 3 is made from high-quality cowhide leather with reinforced ankle and heel areas. It carries CE certification (Category II) under EN 13634:2017, ensuring top safety standards. A dual closure system (zipper plus Velcro strap) keeps the boot secure.
Comfort and ventilation
Ventilation openings at the toe and sides provide good airflow, and the breathable inner lining helps manage heat. The sole is slip-resistant and offers excellent grip on footpegs. The boot weighs approximately 1.8 kg per pair.
