FAQs

Are the Fox Launch Pro Elbow Guards suitable for all types of cycling?

Yes, they are designed for a wide range of cycling disciplines, including trail, enduro, downhill, and BMX, where impact and abrasion protection are needed.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Fox Racing sizing chart and measure your arm circumference according to their guidelines. The guard should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, and the straps should allow for secure adjustment without fully extending.

Can I remove the hardcap?

Yes, the internal hardcap is removable. This allows you to customize the level of protection and flexibility based on your riding style and terrain.

How do I clean the elbow guards?

Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, or dry cleaning.

What does CE-certified D3O Level 1 mean?

This means the D3O inserts have met European safety standards for impact protection, offering a good balance of flexibility during normal use and shock absorption upon impact.

Will the guards stay in place on rough terrain?

The guards feature an extra-wide elastic upper band with a silicone gripper and adjustable hook-and-loop straps designed to keep them securely in place during intense riding.

What is the benefit of the antimicrobial sleeve?

The antimicrobial sleeve helps to reduce the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the elbow guards fresher and more hygienic after repeated use.

Troubleshooting

Elbow guards slipping down during ride

Ensure the guards are the correct size. Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a tighter fit. Check that the silicone gripper band is clean and making good contact with the skin.

Guards feel too tight or restrictive

Loosen the hook-and-loop straps. If still too tight, consider trying a larger size based on the manufacturer's sizing guide. Ensure the D3O insert is correctly seated.

Reduced impact protection after a crash

Inspect the D3O insert and the guard material for any visible damage, tears, or deformation. If compromised, replace the elbow guards as the protective integrity may be affected.

Elbow guards causing skin irritation

Ensure the guards are clean and the antimicrobial sleeve is functioning. Try wearing a thin base layer under the guards. Ensure proper fit and avoid overtightening the straps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Sizing: Refer to the Fox Racing sizing chart to determine the correct size for your arm circumference.
  2. Donning: Slide the guard onto your elbow. Ensure the D3O insert is positioned over the elbow joint.
  3. Securing: Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a snug, comfortable fit. The extra-wide elastic upper band and silicone gripper should prevent slipping.
  4. Hardcap (Optional): If desired, insert the hardcap into the designated pocket within the guard for added protection.
