We saw an opportunity to produce a knee guard that ticked some boxes that we felt were currently left empty, and in partnering with the engineers at RHEON™ Labs, we've managed to create a guard that we're extremely proud of, but most of all, keen to slip on whenever we head out for a ride.

The majority of the protection is located up front provided by RHEON™ and encased in an aramid skin to provide resistance to abrasions and tears. Additional lateral foam inserts keep the pad low-profile and allow for unrestricted movement, without bumping the cost sky high.

The RHEON™ insert is located on an airprene backing to provide structure, and also moderate temperatures on those all day epics.

The calf gusset is designed to keep the pad in place, combined with the generous silicone band around the top, and the upper stretch mesh which allows movement of your leg while keeping everything where it needs to be.

Good pads, but the chaffing ruins them for me.

These knee pads are nice construction and stay in place well, but the seam on the inside middle of the pads chafes my knees raw on even moderate long pedals.

Honestly, I can't recommend them until they come up with a new design to address this issue.

Thanks for sharing. We havent had this feedback before but It's been shared with our design team.

Best Knee Protection in the Business

I’ve used several knee pad brands over the years and these Knee pads are the last buy you’ll make… EVER! They’ve done their job when it was need and what makes them a true standout and best in class is when you’re pedalling all day you forget that they are there, so comfortable! Top of a ride someone said “don’t forget your knee pads” I did forget them….but they were already on.

So far so good!

Had two rides on these so far, and the first ride I had them on the wrong leg and got some pinching behind the knee. Switched them to the proper legs for the next ride and no pinching at all. Very light weight and super comfortable.

Knee pads are great

I’m 6 foot and 176 lbs and found the pads to be a comfortable fit. They are unnoticeable on a ride and seem hard wearing after 100km of enduro

Love the protection, appreciate the ventilation

I’ve done about 12 rides with these so far and I haven’t yet hit anything really hard, but I’ve no doubt they’re up to the task. The material protecting the Rheon is super tough, and I appreciate the flank protection. Ridden a few long days in hot weather, and I forgot they were there after a while, and they haven’t slipped. The grippy material on the inside cuff is super skookum. I was a bit concerned the rough knee fabric would catch on long/DH pants, but it doesn’t. So far they’re the best knee pads I've owned.

Knee pads - comfortable and not too hot

These are great. Use for XC and downhill.
