FAQs
What makes these sliders 'High Durability'?
They are constructed with a high-density polymer compound, the same material used in top-level racing, which is specifically formulated for increased resistance to abrasion and longer life under intense use.
Can I use these with any motorcycle suit?
These sliders are designed to work with suits that have a compatible Velcro fastening system. They are optimized for Dainese racing suits, but may fit other suits with a similar Velcro attachment point.
How long do these sliders typically last?
The lifespan depends heavily on riding style and conditions. However, their high-density, race-derived compound is engineered for significantly longer durability compared to standard sliders.
Are these suitable for street riding?
While durable, they are specifically designed for the high-performance demands of track riding. For street use, their durability may be excessive, and dedicated street sliders might offer different characteristics.
How do I clean the sliders after a track day?
Clean them with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure they are completely dry before storing them to maintain the integrity of the Velcro.
What is the shape of the slider designed for?
The dynamic shape is engineered for optimal and smooth contact with the asphalt, ensuring consistent sliding performance and reducing unexpected friction.
Troubleshooting
Sliders detach during riding
Ensure the Velcro on both the slider and the suit is clean, free of debris, and securely fastened. Check that the suit's Velcro is still in good condition.
Excessive wear after minimal use
Verify that the sliders are attached correctly and are the correct type for your riding style. Excessive wear could indicate improper contact angle or an unexpected track incident.
Difficulty attaching sliders
Clean the Velcro surfaces on both the slider and the suit. Ensure you are aligning the Velcro correctly before applying pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These knee sliders are designed to attach to compatible Dainese racing suits or other motorcycle apparel that features a robust Velcro fastening system. Ensure the Velcro area on your suit is clean and dry before attaching the sliders for maximum adhesion.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for Dainese racing suits and leathers. While the Velcro system is standard, compatibility with non-Dainese suits may vary depending on the size and type of Velcro present.
Care: After use, especially after contact with the track, clean the sliders with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Inspect the Velcro for any material buildup that might impede adhesion. Allow sliders to air dry completely before storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
