Our Take

"The Mechanical Lung"

Yes, it takes 5 minutes to put them on. The three cable winches are complex. But once you dial them in, the Rex fits like a prosthetic limb. The connection to the bike is total—there is zero slop between your foot and the peg. And the "Air" part? It's not a gimmick. You can literally feel the breeze cooling your toes at speed, which keeps fatigue at bay during summer track days. The ankle support exoskeleton is rigid enough to prevent hyperextension but articulated enough to let you shift without feeling like Frankenstein. They squeak when you walk—loudly—but that's the sound of safety. If you ride in hot climates and value ankle protection above convenience (and your bank account), this is the boot. A mechanical masterpiece.

"Italian race boot engineering with maximum airflow. A mechanical masterpiece."

Overview

Sidi Rex Air

The Sidi Rex Air is pure Italian racing technology dedicated to airflow.

The Ventilation King

The “Air” isn’t marketing—the entire upper is perforated Technomicro material. It flows massive amounts of air, keeping feet cool during intense track sessions or hot summer rides.

Techno-3 Push System

Forget zippers and velcro. The Rex uses three steel cable winches:

  1. Shin Tensioner: Secures the top.
  2. Ankle Support: Locks the heel in place.
  3. Instep Adjuster: Customizes the fit over the arch.

This ensures a glove-like fit that doesn’t loosen over time.

Ankle Support Brace

The robust external resin structure limits lateral movement (twisting) while allowing front-to-back flexibility for shifting and braking.

Replaceable Everything

Sidi boots are an investment. Almost every part of the Rex is replaceable:

  • Toe sliders
  • Shin plates
  • Fasteners
  • Heel cups

If you ride hard in hot weather, there is no better boot. The mechanical closure is a masterpiece of engineering.
