Product Information
Full details
The Troy Lee Designs Raid Knee Guards are designed for aggressive trail and enduro riders who demand robust impact protection without sacrificing all-day pedaling comfort. Utilizing D3O® technology, these guards provide CE-certified security for the knee and surrounding areas through a breathable, well-ventilated chassis. While they offer exceptional protection during intense rides, the substantial padding profile may feel bulkier than minimalist cross-country alternatives.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these guards machine washable?
Yes, but you must remove the D3O protective inserts first. Wash the outer sleeve on a delicate cycle and air dry.
Can I wear these under my trousers?
They can be worn under looser riding pants, but they may be too bulky to fit comfortably under slim-fit jeans or tight leggings.
What does EN 1621-1 Level 1 certification mean?
It is a European standard confirming the guard has been tested to provide a specific level of energy attenuation upon impact.
How do I choose the right size?
Consult the Troy Lee Designs size chart and measure the circumference of your thigh and calf at the designated points indicated by the manufacturer.
Will the D3O padding harden over time?
D3O is designed to retain its properties over long periods, but you should inspect the material after any major crash for signs of physical damage.
Troubleshooting
Guard sliding down during pedaling
Ensure the silicone grippers are in contact with clean, dry skin. Tighten the Velcro strap slightly or reposition the compression band higher on the thigh.
Knee feels restricted during movement
Check that the flex gusset is aligned correctly with the center of your knee joint and that the strap is not overtightened.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent impact absorption from D3O inserts
- Highly breathable back panel for warm weather riding
- Secure fit system prevents sliding during movement
- Full-length coverage including side and shin protection
Cons
- Heavier and bulkier than minimalist slip-on guards
- May be visible under tighter-fitting cycling shorts
- Requires proper measurement to ensure ideal fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the guard up so the padded cup sits centrally over the kneecap. Tighten the Velcro strap snugly but not so tight that it restricts circulation. Ensure the silicone grippers are in direct contact with your skin for maximum slip-resistance. For long-term maintenance, remove the internal D3O padding inserts before machine washing the outer fabric on a delicate cycle with cold water. Always air dry the guards away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the elastic and silicone components. Each pair includes a mesh-lined storage bag to help keep them clean and organized during transport.
