Calabasas Hills, CA - TCX Boots and their exclusive United States distributor Helmet House, Inc. are pleased to announce the introduction of two exciting new products for 2009—the TCX SS Sport performance street boot and the TCX Comp 2 off-road boot.  Both new products are designed to add not only high levels of performance and comfort but deliver high value to the end user.  The SS Sport is inspired by the styling of TCX's road racing boots and designed to offer the comfort and functionality of a sport-touring-inspired product while keeping the boot at an entry-level price point.  The SS Sport features a full microfiber upper construction; a breathable Airtech fabric liner;  polyurethane toe sliders, and heel and shin guards.  The TCX SS Sport is available in black or white for $199.99 retail.

The new for 2009 TCX Comp 2 off-road boot delivers on two very important aspects for the off-road boot buyer.  First is performance—the Comp 2 is equipped with the same patented TCS Torsion Control System that TCX's much touted Pro 2 is known for, but is offered without the inner booty.  Second, the Comp 2 was designed with quality and value in mind while offering a full array of features (see attached) at a very attractive $269.99 price point.  The introduction of the SS Sport and Comp 2 boot further augments TCX's complete boot collection for the motorcycle enthusiast while offering Italian style, fit and function.  Look for these leading products at a TCX Authorized Dealer near you or have your dealer contact Helmet House, Inc.
