Mountain bike knee pads are a personal part of your riding kit, but when going off road they are an essential for every ride. They are the perfect example of it’s better to have something and not need it, than need something and not have it.
Modern day mountain bike knee pads should not be seen as a less bulky derivative of their motorbike cousins. These products are designed specifically for cyclists and takes body movement, temperature management, comfort and most of all protection into careful consideration to provide the best and safest riding experience.
Mountain bike knee pads are constructed in a strong lightweight manner to have the least amount of restrictions while maintaining the highest level of protection against impact and abrasion.
The material used for the sleeves features a meshed construction to improve ventilation to keep you cool while pedalling so you do not need to take your knee pads on & off between climbs and descents.
Viscoelastic material is used in the pads itself. This helps the pad to stay flexible under normal movement, to bend with your pedalling motion and take on the shape of your legs to sit tightly while riding. On the other hand, viscoelastic material will harden immediately on impact or with a sudden strike. This greatly improves the protective qualities of pads and will stand up better against contact with hard or sharp objects to keep riders safe in the unforeseen event of a crash. This same technology is used in motorcycle protective wear like jackets, pants, knee & elbow guards – protecting riders at much higher speeds so will be more than adequate for cyclists.
Choose between various imported brands and have a look at products with size specific fitment to ensure your mountain bike knee pad stays in place while riding but also fits comfortably.
