The Dainese Enduro Knee guard is their most advanced knee pad they’ve developed for mountain bike protective gear, and they feature a complex hybrid construction design that includes ABS plates, carbon elastomer, and soft foam; all of which are ergonomically placed to provide the best protection available while providing pedaling comfort.

 

Years of research into racing and high-performance materials were necessary to develop the most advanced Dainese knee pad of all time. The Enduro Knee Guards feature a complex hybrid construction that mixes together the extra mobility and breathability of the nature-inspired Pro-Armor padding with the high durability and impact resistance of ABS technology.

The engineered construction covers specific areas of the knee bones like the kneecap and the shinbone, while the extended Pro-Armor construction provides great coverage to cartilage during sliding falls. Extra protection is offered by the three Crash Absorb pads on the inner section to lessen bumps with the frame and other possible injuries. The Enduro Knee Guard is developed around the shape of the knee to provide the rider with extreme freedom of movement while pedaling and maximum comfort even after miles of aggressive riding.

Protection

The hybrid construction extends all over the knee bones, replicating body biomechanics while maintaining mobility and coverage during stretching, compression, twisting, and flexion. The front ABS plates provide the rider with high impact resistance and ensure sliding during falls while the Pro-Armor and the Crash Absorb side padding bolsters ensure great coverage on delicate side parts of the knee.

Anatomy

The pre-curved hybrid construction of the Enduro Knee Guards allows the rider to have unrestricted motion during climbing and descending, with enough flex to aid re-mounting without the pad shifting. The elastic bands were completely redesigned to perfectly follow the leg shape, while the elastic calf gripper allows the pad to stay firm during the ride.

Lightness and Breathability

The fractal-inspired structure balances the density of padding with ventilation, which not only results in a high level of protection but also offers an unmatched degree of breathability and ventilation compared to other certified protectors on the market. The new Airnet sleeve features jersey hole mesh on the back of the knee, ensuring the rider feels fresh and comfortable even during hard efforts.
