After the helmet, the knee pads are probably the most important protections, because in 90% of the falls, the knees hit the ground
It is a fundamental accessory for those who practice trail, all mountain, enduro and gravity disciplines
In this video we will consider 9 ideal knee pads for bike park sessions and enduro races
The test was carried out by a prestigious English-speaking site dedicated to the world of Enduro
Laboratory tests have found that modern knee pads with viscoelastic foam protection are the most efficient when it comes to absorbing impacts.
Clearly, the level of protection is the most important factor to evaluate, but the test also put the fit factor on the same level, because if a knee brace is uncomfortable it is useless to put it on.
Another important factor considered in the test phase is the level of breathability because during hot days, the knees must allow good ventilation
Let's start from the ninth position where we find the Sweet Protection knee pads, where this model in particular has not achieved the desired result
Other than protection, where he obtained top marks, the knee pads seem not to be completely comfortable while pedaling, they do not disperse the heat sufficiently and are also quite expensive.
12 stars in all
In eighth position we find O’Neal with the SINNER model.
The knee pads are excellent in terms of protection and perfect for gravity disciplines.
Instead for long distances, where you have to pedal, sabra that the knee pads create different contacts and friction with the knee. An absolutely positive point is the fact that you can put them on by opening and closing a zip
This knee brace also gets 12 stars in all
The 661 evo knee II is found in 7 position
The EVOs offer considerable protection especially on the side, some testers have found a slight friction and pinching in the posterior cavity of the knee
Totoal 12.5
The LEATT 3DF 6.0 comes in sixth position.
The design offers a high level of comfort, and its soft padding also adapts well when pedaling, regardless of durability
Total 13
In fifth position we find iXS with the carve evo + model
A rather light knee brace, well made and with good perspiration. the knee brace extends lower than other models, offering additional protection to the shin
Total 14
Amplifi, with the cirtex polymer model, stands in 4 positions
The protection is excellent, and the external material allows the protection to slide well on the ground without creating friction
Total 14
Scott, with his Grenade Evo, offers a very comfortable knee brace with excellent protection both centrally and laterally to the knee. Small crooked note concerns breathability
Rating 15
In second place we find Fox Launch pro D30
These knee pads seem to be really very comfortable and offer good breathability.
Only sore point, the price
And in first place we find ION, who with his K_PAC Zip wins the highest peak
It excels in almost everything. The finishes are of high quality and the side zip does not impact comfort.
Protection is maximum.
