Product Information
Full details
RST Knee Sliders are essential safety and performance gear designed for track-day enthusiasts and spirited road riders who require a reliable, durable contact point for aggressive cornering. These sliders provide excellent abrasion resistance and consistent tactile feedback during deep lean angles, though they are specifically engineered for compatibility with suits featuring a standard hook-and-loop interface, meaning they may not work with suits lacking these attachment zones.

FAQs
Can I use these on any pair of trousers?
No, these are designed to be attached to specialized motorcycle leather suits or trousers that feature a dedicated loop-side Velcro patch in the knee area.
How do I know when to replace them?
You should replace the sliders when the thickness of the thermoplastic material is significantly reduced, typically reaching a point where the base or attachment material is becoming visible.
Are these suitable for wet weather riding?
While the material is waterproof, you should exercise caution, as road surface grip is significantly lower in wet conditions and traditional knee-down techniques may be unsafe.
Do these come as a pair?
Yes, the RST Knee Sliders are sold as a set to accommodate both the left and right knee.
Will they fit a non-RST brand suit?
Yes, provided your current suit uses the industry-standard hook-and-loop Velcro system for knee sliders.
Troubleshooting
Slider comes loose during a ride
Clean both the hook-backed slider and the suit's loop-patch with a stiff brush to remove road grime, then re-press firmly into place.
Uneven wear across the surface
Check your body position on the bike; uneven wear often indicates the slider is making contact at an angle rather than flat, suggesting the need for a slight adjustment in knee placement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable thermoplastic construction for longevity
- Easy and quick installation via Velcro backing
- Contoured design promotes stable, even wear
- Provides essential feedback during deep lean angles
Cons
- Compatibility limited to suits with existing loop-side Velcro
- Not suitable for textile pants lacking specific slider panels
- Designed primarily for performance riding, may feel bulky for casual commuting
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the loop-side Velcro patches on your leather suit are clean and free of debris. Align the hook-backed side of the RST Knee Slider with the patch and press firmly across the entire surface to engage the adhesive grip.
Compatibility: These sliders are specifically designed for RST suits but will attach to any leather suit that utilizes standard hook-and-loop patches. Always verify the orientation of your suit's attachment points before purchase.
Care: After a ride, wipe the slider surface with a damp cloth to remove rubber debris or grit. Inspect the Velcro backing regularly; if the hook-and-loop becomes clogged with lint or dirt, use a fine-bristled brush to restore its grip strength. Replace the sliders once the material wears down near the attachment base.
