Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pads suitable for downhill racing?

No, these are Level 1 RHEON pads designed for trail riding. For downhill racing, you should look for pads with higher impact ratings and more extensive coverage.

Can I wash the pads in a washing machine?

It is highly recommended to hand wash these pads to protect the RHEON material and the elastic grippers.

What is the benefit of RHEON technology?

RHEON technology allows the pad to be flexible and comfortable during normal movement but hardens upon impact to absorb and disperse energy.

Will these fit under a long-sleeve jersey?

Yes, their ultra-light and slim profile is specifically designed to fit comfortably underneath most standard mountain bike jerseys.

What should I do if the RHEON insert gets damaged?

If the protective insert shows signs of cracking or structural failure, the pad should be replaced immediately as it may no longer provide intended impact protection.

Troubleshooting

Pads sliding down during the ride

Ensure the silicone grippers are clean of sweat and dirt; wipe with a damp cloth to restore grip, and check that the sleeve is not stretched out.

Feeling discomfort or chafing

Check that the pad is centered correctly on the elbow and that the internal seams are not folded during wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and non-restrictive
  • Breathable material prevents overheating
  • Flexible RHEON insert feels natural while pedaling
  • Durable Cordura panel provides long-lasting abrasion resistance
  • Low profile fits well under most riding apparel

Cons

  • Level 1 protection is not suitable for high-speed downhill racing
  • Requires proper sizing to ensure grippers function correctly
  • Offers less coverage compared to hard-shell or bulky alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the elastic cuffs are positioned directly above and below the elbow joint. The internal grippers work best when placed against bare skin or very thin base layers. When cleaning, remove the RHEON insert if possible; the sleeve should be hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent and air-dried away from direct heat to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the silicone grippers. Avoid machine drying, as excessive heat can degrade the protective polymers and the grip material.
