Product Information
Full details
The Fox Racing Enduro Knee Guard is an ideal choice for trail and enduro riders who prioritize a lightweight, pedal-friendly design without sacrificing impact protection. Featuring removable D3O inserts, these guards offer high-level safety encased in a breathable, moisture-wicking chassis that excels during long rides. While they provide excellent comfort and protection for typical trail hazards, they are primarily designed for pedaling efficiency rather than the heavy-duty gravity or downhill protection found in bulkier hardshell alternatives.

FAQs
Are these knee guards certified?
Yes, they are certified to EN1621-1 Level 1, ensuring they meet professional standards for impact protection.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Yes, but you must remove the D3O inserts first. Wash only the fabric sleeve on a gentle cycle.
Are these guards suitable for downhill mountain biking?
They are designed primarily for Enduro and Trail riding. For aggressive downhill racing, we recommend heavier duty hardshell guards.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The guard should feel snug without cutting off circulation or being so loose that it rotates around the knee.
Do these guards have any odor protection?
Yes, they feature an anti-microbial treatment specifically designed to reduce the bacteria that cause odors.
Troubleshooting
Guard slips down during the ride
Ensure the sleeve is positioned correctly and that the fabric is clean, as dirt on the inner silicone grippers can reduce friction.
D3O insert feels stiff
D3O is temperature-sensitive. The material will become more flexible once it warms up from your body heat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and comfortable for long days in the saddle
- Breathable design prevents overheating
- Removable D3O inserts facilitate easy cleaning
- Flexible construction allows for a full range of motion
- Anti-microbial treatment helps manage odors
Cons
- Not suitable for extreme downhill or high-speed gravity racing
- Lacks hard-shell plastic plates for puncture resistance
- Slip-on style may require occasional adjustments during long rides
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, slide the guards up your leg so the D3O cup sits squarely over your patella. The silicone or elasticized cuffs should sit snugly against your skin to prevent slippage.
Care Instructions:
- Remove the D3O inserts through the internal opening before washing.
- Machine wash the fabric sleeves on a gentle cycle using mild detergent.
- Air dry the sleeves away from direct heat to maintain fabric elasticity.
- Clean the D3O inserts separately with a damp cloth; do not submerge them in water or use harsh chemicals.
- Once fully dry, re-insert the pads, ensuring they are oriented correctly.
