Product Information
Full details
The Madison DTE Level 2 RHEON Knee Pad Set is designed for mountain bikers who demand high-impact protection without sacrificing all-day pedaling comfort. Utilizing advanced RHEON reactive polymer technology, these pads remain flexible during normal movement but stiffen instantly upon impact to protect your joints, making them ideal for long trail rides or enduro sessions; however, users should note that the slim profile is specifically optimized for trail versatility and may offer less coverage for extreme downhill racing compared to bulky hard-shell alternatives.

FAQs
Are these pads CE certified?
Yes, they feature Level 2 RHEON impact inserts which are tested and certified for high-impact protection.
Can I wash the pads in a machine?
We recommend removing the inserts and hand washing the sleeves to prolong their lifespan.
Do these pads get hot?
The open-cell structure and lightweight stretch fabric are designed specifically for breathability, though individual heat tolerance may vary.
Are they suitable for enduro racing?
Absolutely, they are designed for enduro and trail riding where pedaling efficiency is just as important as impact protection.
Will they fit under tight riding pants?
Yes, the slim profile is specifically designed to fit comfortably under modern mountain bike apparel without creating excessive bulk.
What should I do if the RHEON insert is damaged?
If the protective insert shows signs of structural failure or deep tearing, it should be replaced to ensure continued safety.
Troubleshooting
Pads sliding down while pedaling
Ensure the silicone grippers are clean of mud or sweat; wipe them with a damp cloth to restore tackiness.
Knee soreness or pressure points
Verify the pad is centered correctly; if discomfort persists, check if the sleeve has been pulled too tight or is the incorrect size.
Sleeve feels stretched out after long use
Check the washing instructions to ensure you aren't using fabric softeners, which can degrade the elasticity of the synthetic materials.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Breathable construction prevents overheating on long climbs
Cons
- Not suitable for full-face downhill racing protection
- Slim fit may require precise sizing to prevent movement
- Less side-impact coverage than heavier duty options
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum effectiveness, position the RHEON insert directly over the kneecap. The sleeve should feel snug but not restrictive to circulation. When sizing, ensure the elasticated grippers are positioned directly against the skin or thin base layers to prevent slippage. For care, it is recommended to remove the RHEON inserts before washing the sleeves. Hand wash the fabric sleeves with mild detergent and air dry away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the elastic fibres and silicone grippers. The RHEON inserts should be wiped clean with a damp cloth; do not submerge or machine wash the protective inserts.
