Fox Racing Launch Pro Knee Guard

D3O is a non-Newtonian material that remains flexible and comfortable while you are pedaling, allowing for a full range of motion. Upon impact, the molecules instantly lock together to absorb and dissipate energy, providing a hard shell of protection exactly when you need it.

Yes, the hard cap is removable. You might choose to remove it for lighter trail rides where you want less bulk and more breathability, or keep it on for aggressive enduro and downhill runs where you need extra protection against rocks and debris.

The Launch Pro guards use a slip-on design combined with silicone grippers to keep them anchored to your leg. While the Ariaprene construction is highly breathable, the secure fit ensures they won't slide down even when you are working hard on technical descents.

Yes, they are CE certified to EN1621-1 Level 1 standards. This means they meet the necessary impact protection requirements for most enduro and downhill racing events.

Because of the D3O insert and technical fabrics, it is best to hand wash them in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat and agitation can damage the protective materials and the silicone grippers.

The low-profile design is intended to fit under most riding pants, but it depends on the fit of your gear. If you prefer a slim-fit pant, you might find the added bulk of the hard cap noticeable, though the slip-on design keeps the overall silhouette relatively streamlined.
