Product Information

Full details

The Troy Lee Designs Stage Elbow Guard is designed for trail and bike park riders who require a balance of high-impact protection and all-day pedaling comfort. Featuring advanced D30 impact technology, these guards remain flexible during normal movement but harden instantly upon impact, providing reliable CE-certified safety. While they offer superior ventilation and a secure fit, riders should note that the compression-focused design requires precise sizing to ensure the honeycomb grippers remain effective during intense downhill sessions.

FAQs

Are these guards machine washable?

We recommend hand washing only to protect the longevity of the D30 pad and the integrity of the grippers.

Can I wear these under a jersey?

Yes, the Stage Elbow Guard has a low-profile design specifically intended to be worn under standard riding jerseys.

What is D30 technology?

D30 is a non-Newtonian material that is soft and flexible in its resting state but locks together upon impact to absorb and disperse energy.

How do I choose the right size?

Use a flexible tape measure to find your bicep and forearm circumference, then compare these measurements against the official TLD size chart.

Are these suitable for full-on downhill racing?

They are designed for trail and bike park use. For elite-level downhill racing, some riders prefer more robust, hard-shell protection.

Does the guard provide any thermal insulation?

While they cover your arms, the mesh panels are designed to maximize airflow, making them comfortable for most riding temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Guard slips down during riding

Ensure the skin is clean of oils or lotions before putting on the guard. Check that the Fitlock band is correctly seated.

Material feels stiff or uncomfortable

The D30 material is heat-activated; wearing the pads for a few minutes will allow your body heat to soften the internal structure.

Skin irritation from grippers

If you have sensitive skin, try wearing a light, moisture-wicking base layer underneath the guard to provide a barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • D30 material balances comfort with elite-level impact energy absorption
  • Excellent breathability from integrated mesh forearm panels
  • Low-profile design fits well under most long-sleeve jerseys
  • Fitlock system effectively eliminates the need for constant mid-ride adjustments

Cons

  • Compression-fit style requires accurate measurement to avoid being too tight or too loose
  • Offers less coverage than full-length downhill-specific armor
  • Requires careful hand-washing to maintain the integrity of the grippers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, measure your arm circumference at the bicep and forearm according to the Troy Lee Designs size chart before purchasing. When putting them on, slide the guard up until the elbow cup is centered over your joint, then ensure the Fitlock band is snug.

For care, it is highly recommended to hand wash these guards in cool water with a mild detergent. Air drying is essential; avoid putting them in a tumble dryer or using high heat, as this will damage the D30 material and compromise the elasticity of the grippers. Check the mesh panels regularly for signs of wear after heavy trail usage.
