Fox Racing Launch Pro Knee Guard

Yes, the hardcap is removable. This allows you to switch between a lower-profile, more flexible setup for trail riding and a more robust, impact-resistant configuration for aggressive downhill or enduro sessions.

They are designed with a floating sleeve construction and an extra-wide elastic band lined with silicone grippers. This combination keeps the pads securely in place even during long, high-cadence climbs.

They use ARIAPRENE and micro-span fabrics, which are specifically engineered for ventilation and moisture-wicking. While they offer significant coverage, they manage heat much better than traditional, fully enclosed foam pads.

These guards are CE-certified to EN1621-1 Level 1 standards. They feature D3O inserts, which remain flexible while you ride but instantly harden upon impact to absorb energy.

To get the best fit, measure the circumference of your thigh about 4 inches above your kneecap and compare that to the Fox Racing size chart. Because these are a slip-on style, getting the correct measurement is crucial to prevent them from sliding down.

It is best to hand wash them in cool water with mild soap to preserve the integrity of the silicone grippers and the D3O material. Always remove the hardcap and the impact inserts before washing, and let them air dry away from direct sunlight.
