FAQs
Are these sliders only for wet conditions?
While specifically designed for optimal performance in wet conditions, they can be used in dry conditions. However, their unique compound and grip characteristics are most beneficial when the track is wet.
How long do these sliders typically last?
The lifespan of the sliders depends heavily on riding style, track conditions, and frequency of use. Professional riders may go through multiple sets per season, while track day enthusiasts might find they last significantly longer.
What makes these 'double thick'?
The 'double thick' designation refers to a construction that provides greater material depth compared to standard sliders, offering increased longevity and a more substantial feel during use.
Can I use these with any brand of racing suit?
These sliders are designed for broad compatibility with most motorcycle racing suits that feature standard knee slider pockets. It is always recommended to check your suit's specifications.
How do I attach the sliders to my suit?
The Pista Rain Knee Slider attaches via a secure strap fastener system integrated into the slider itself, which loops through or attaches to a designated point on your racing suit's knee pocket.
What is the benefit of the 'dynamic shape'?
The dynamic shape is engineered to create a smooth and consistent contact patch with the asphalt, allowing for fluid transitions between leaning angles and reducing the chance of unexpected feedback.
Troubleshooting
Slider feels loose after fastening
Ensure the strap is threaded correctly and pulled taut. If the strap is worn or damaged, it may need replacement.
Reduced grip in wet conditions
Clean the slider surface thoroughly with a damp cloth. If the slider is excessively worn down, it may be time for a replacement.
Slider doesn't fit correctly in the pocket
Verify compatibility with your racing suit. Some suits may have specific slider pocket designs. Ensure the slider is oriented correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Pista Rain Knee Slider features a strap fastener system. Ensure the slider is positioned correctly on your knee, then securely fasten the strap to achieve a snug fit. The slider should feel firm but not restrictive.
Compatibility: These knee sliders are designed to be compatible with most Dainese racing suits and other major motorcycle racing apparel brands that feature standard knee slider attachment points. Always check your suit's specifications for compatibility.
Care: After each use, especially after riding in wet conditions, clean the sliders with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Allow them to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Inspect sliders regularly for signs of excessive wear and replace them as needed to maintain performance and safety.
