Product Information
Full details
The 661 Comp AM Elbow Pads are designed for riders seeking reliable, articulated protection during dirt or street cycling sessions. These pads offer a major win by combining internal flex-tech rubber with a pre-curved design to ensure comfort and freedom of movement; however, users should note that as a pull-on style guard, proper sizing is essential to prevent slippage during intense activity.

FAQs
Are these pads machine washable?
We recommend hand washing in cool water to preserve the integrity of the protective materials and straps.
Can I wear these under a jersey?
Yes, the low-profile design of the Comp AM series makes them suitable for wearing underneath most standard cycling jerseys.
What does CE 1621:1 certification mean?
It is an internationally recognized standard that tests impact attenuation, ensuring the pad provides a specific minimum level of protection in a crash.
Are these suitable for downhill racing?
They provide excellent protection for general trail and dirt riding, though extreme downhill racing may require more specialized hard-shell armor depending on your risk profile.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your arm at the bicep and forearm, then refer to the 661 size chart to find the best match for your measurements.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding down during a ride
Ensure the silicone printing is in direct contact with your skin and tighten the hook and loop straps.
Fabric bunching at the elbow crease
Verify that you have the pad oriented correctly (top vs bottom) and that it is pulled up high enough to allow the pre-curved hinge to align with your joint.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of articulation allows for full range of motion
- Pre-curved shape prevents uncomfortable fabric bunching
- CE 1621:1 certification provides verified safety
- Silicone grips maintain secure positioning
- Durable nylon construction for long-term use
Cons
- Pull-on design may be harder to remove than open-back styles
- Requires precise sizing for optimal retention
- Black colorway may show dust easily
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum effectiveness, follow these guidelines for setup and maintenance:
- Sizing: Slide the pad up your arm so the protective cup rests directly over the point of your elbow.
- Fitting: Adjust the hook and loop straps until the pad feels secure but does not restrict blood circulation.
- Compatibility: These pads are low-profile enough to be worn under most long-sleeve jerseys or jackets.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the pads in cool water using mild soap. Air dry them in a shaded area. Avoid using a dryer or harsh chemicals, as heat can degrade the integrity of the protective rubber and the elasticity of the nylon fabric.
