Product Information
Full details
The RST Knee Sliders are essential gear for track enthusiasts and performance-focused road riders who need a reliable, high-durability contact point for cornering. Crafted from an abrasion-resistant thermoplastic compound, these sliders provide smooth feedback and consistent performance during lean maneuvers, though they require compatible hook-and-loop suit integration to function effectively.

FAQs
Can I use these sliders on non-RST suits?
Yes, provided your suit features the industry-standard loop-sided fastener material required for the hook backing to attach.
How do I know when to replace them?
Replace the sliders when the thickness of the thermoplastic material significantly decreases or if you notice deep gouges that might lead to uneven surface contact.
Are these sliders suitable for beginner track riders?
Absolutely. Their smooth sliding feedback is ideal for riders learning to find their lean angle and body position on the track.
Do these come as a pair?
Yes, the product is provided as a pair to outfit both knees.
Will the red color fade?
Like all plastic components exposed to heavy abrasion and sunlight, some color degradation is normal, but the functional performance of the thermoplastic remains unaffected.
Troubleshooting
Slider shifting during cornering
Ensure the loop-sided patch on your suit is clean and free of lint; press the slider firmly to re-engage the hook-and-loop connection.
Excessive vibration or 'chatter'
Check if the slider is mounted at the correct height; uneven contact can cause jittering during lean.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable thermoplastic construction resists rapid wear
- Smooth feedback provides predictable handling in turns
- Contoured design improves surface contact stability
- Standard hook-and-loop backing for easy installation
Cons
- Requires a suit equipped with compatible loop-sided fasteners
- Red color may show scuffs and road grime more prominently than black
- Specific to RST mounting patterns which may vary slightly on non-RST gear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply align the hook-sided backing of the slider with the loop-sided fastener patch on your leather suit. Press firmly across the entire surface to ensure the adhesive bond is engaged.
Compatibility: These sliders are designed primarily for RST leather suits. While the hook-and-loop standard is common, please verify that your suit utilizes a loop-sided receiving patch.
Care Instructions: After riding, wipe the sliders down with a damp cloth to remove grit and rubber debris. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these can compromise the thermoplastic compound. Inspect the hook backing periodically to ensure it is free of debris that could weaken the bond to your suit.
