Trail Knee Pads

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve tried my fair share of knee pads, and these strike the perfect balance between protection and comfort. The RHEON™ polymer insert stays soft until impact, absorbing big hits without feeling bulky. The SuperFabric™ front panel holds up against brush and crashes, while the four-way stretch fabric keeps things breathable on long rides. They stay put without pinching, so I don’t have to adjust mid-ride—just focus on the trail ahead."

When we ride technical terrain, we need knee protection that doesn’t compromise on comfort or mobility. The Trail Knee Pads are engineered for serious riders, featuring RHEON™ Labs impact technology that intelligently strengthens under force, providing reliable protection without the bulk of traditional hard-shell pads. The main sleeve uses a four-way stretch fabric that moves with us, ensuring unrestricted pedaling, while the ergonomic fit and asymmetric design conform naturally to the knee.

Durability meets innovation with a SuperFabric™ front panel, a high-strength textile reinforced with ceramic polymer print for abrasion resistance without sacrificing breathability. A wide thigh gripper keeps the pads in place, even on aggressive descents. Whether charging down technical singletrack or navigating rock gardens at speed, these knee pads give us confidence to ride harder and push limits further.
