Trail riding can be unpredictable. Tree roots, rocks, and occasional spills are part of the fun. But that’s also why having the right MTB knee pads is essential.
The best pads give you the perfect balance of protection, comfort, and flexibility, so you can pedal efficiently while staying safe on technical trails.
For trail riders, lightweight and breathable pads that don’t restrict motion are key. At Ivanhoe Cycles, we stock a range of MTB knee pads.
What to Look for in Trail-Specific MTB Knee Pads
Lightweight Design: Trail riding often involves long climbs, so pads need to be light and non-restrictive.
Breathability: Look for vents or breathable fabrics to keep your legs cool on long rides.
Secure Fit: Pads should stay in place without sliding down during climbs or cornering.
Flexible Protection: Impact foam or D3O inserts.
