iXS Trigger Knee Guard
Best lightweight protection for dedicated trail and enduro mountain bikers
These pads are for the rider who hates the bulk of traditional armor but refuses to ride unprotected. By swapping rigid caps for high-performance foam, they offer a streamlined, ergonomic fit that disappears under your gear. You sacrifice the heavy-duty shell of downhill armor, but you gain all-day comfort for long, pedal-heavy rides.
