Sidi Sport was founded over 40 years ago by sports
footwear icon, Dino Signori. Dino, along with a small
staff of enthusiasts, started by rethinking how trekking
boots were made, then moved on to create the first
rear entry ski boot. From there he took the first
steps in building what is today the premier brand
in bicycling-Sidi. Not being satisfied with these
more mainstream sports, in his spare time, Dino dabbled
in one of his country’s favorite sports motorcycling!
Not being one to mess around (the man to this day
is a dynamo), in 1969 Dino jumped into moto in a big
way, he aligned himself and Sidi with Italy’s
motorcycle hero, Giacomo Agostini, who helped Sidi
advance road race footwear to new heights. At the
same time Dino signed up an outgoing Belgian, five
time world champion Joel Robert. Sidi created for
Robert the world’s first purpose built motocross
boot. This boot was sold in the USA under the brand
name Full Bore that, at the time, was the premier
aftermarket line in this country.
In subsequent years, Dino’s son Daniele and
daughter Rosella, together with the Sidi design team,
have created some of the most groundbreaking designs
in motorcycle footwear. The Royal off road boot was
the first boot to offer inner ankle protection, the
TAE SRS sole replacement system is still in use today
as is the bullet proof and we must say, perfect, cam-lock
off road boot buckle system. Over the past few years
the hinged and exceptionally rigid Flex, Force and
now the exceptional
Crossfire off road boot, the Vertebra sport road boot
and most recently the fantastic Vertigo series of
sport road boots have taken the market by storm and
Sidi’s competitors by surprise.
Motonation urges you to take the time to consider
all the different aspects of the various models of
Sidi boots. These features will help keep you safer
when you ride and the fashion in which these features
are built into the boots will give you years of service.
These features and Sidi’s quality combine to
create the finest motorcycling footwear ever made…
boots that make Dino (DI) Signori (SI) proud. DISI…no,
that does not have the right sound; let’s switch
those letters…SIDI!
