MTB KneePads

The knees are a very delicate part of the body since it is made up of an articulation with bones, ligaments and tendons that have the task of supporting the whole body weight. The knee joint is one of the most stressed when pedaling and it is also the first to collide with the ground when falling from the bike. For this reason it is essential to wear suitable mtb knee pads. The knee pads protect the knee from bumps, abrasions and grazes but, in addition to providing adequate protection, they must also ensure maximum freedom of movement while pedaling. The models are generally made with light, resistant and breathable materials that harden upon impact. The newer models are equipped with gel inserts (D30 or Poron), soft, light and flexible but capable of giving the same protection as those made with harder materials. There are two lengths of knee pads: Short MTB knee pads: protect only the kneecap, are extremely practical and can be easily moved / removed in case of need. The enduro and all mountain knee pads are usually short made of soft material so as to always guarantee maximum freedom of movement. The mtb enduro knee pads are equipped with an elastic band only in the upper part, so as not to be too tight and prevent the movements of contraction and relaxation. Long MTB knee pads: they are equipped with an extension on the tibia as they also protect the calves and shins. They protect the legs not only in the event of a fall but also while pedaling because they protect from stones and debris that can be raised during the journey. They are perfect for those who practice enduro and freeride because, thanks to the stiffer parts, they are able to better cushion shocks. They are generally equipped with an elastic band also in the lower part to keep them firmly in position and prevent them from moving randomly from the continuous vibrations coming from the ground.
