Product Information

Full details

The Troy Lee Designs Speed Elbow Sleeve is designed for mountain bikers of all ages who prioritize safety without sacrificing mobility. Its primary benefit is the D3O impact-protection technology, which stays flexible during normal riding and hardens instantly upon impact. While it provides excellent protection for aggressive trail riding, users should note that the sleeve is specifically designed for impact resistance rather than heavy-duty downhill armor, making it a specialized choice for lightweight performance.

FAQs

Are these sold as a pair?

Yes, the Troy Lee Designs Speed Elbow Sleeves are sold as a pair.

Can these be washed in a machine?

It is recommended to hand wash these items to prolong the life of the elastic and the protective padding.

What is the primary material?

The sleeves are made from a combination of high-quality nylon and 4mm D3O impact-resistant padding.

Are these suitable for kids?

Yes, this specific model is designed for younger riders.

How do I measure for the correct fit?

Measure the circumference of your upper arm (bicep area) and refer to the brand's specific size chart to match your dimensions.

Does the D3O material harden permanently?

No, the D3O material is non-Newtonian; it only hardens upon impact and returns to its supple state once the energy is dispersed.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve sliding down during a ride

Ensure the silicone grippers are clean of sweat and oils. If they still slide, check that you have the correct size for your arm circumference.

D3O padding feels stiff

The material is designed to be pliable at body temperature. Ensure you have worn the sleeve for a few minutes so your body heat can warm the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supple, non-restrictive material that allows for full range of motion
  • Effective energy dispersion through D3O padding
  • Excellent ventilation provided by integrated mesh panels
  • Reliable fit due to silicone gripper technology
  • Low-profile aesthetic suitable for wearing under jerseys

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme downhill or high-speed racing environments
  • Limited coverage compared to hard-shell plastic guards
  • Requires proper sizing for silicone grippers to be effective

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum effectiveness, position the D3O pad directly over the center of your elbow joint before heading out. The silicone grippers should sit against your skin for the best grip; ensure your arms are clean and free of heavy lotions to allow the silicone to adhere properly.

Care instructions: Hand wash the sleeves in cool water using a mild soap. Drip dry in the shade to maintain the integrity of the elastic and the D3O material. Avoid using bleach, tumble dryers, or ironing, as high heat can damage the protective padding and the mesh fabric.
