Product Information

Full details

The Troy Lee Designs Stage Knee Guards are ideal for mountain bikers and enduro riders who need a balance between pedaling efficiency and impact security. Featuring advanced D3O padding, these guards offer robust protection that stays flexible while moving but hardens during a crash, providing significant confidence on technical trails. While they provide excellent ventilation and an ergonomic fit, riders should note that they are designed as mid-range guards and may not offer the extreme coverage required for professional downhill racing or heavy-duty freeride sessions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these suitable for machine washing?

We recommend hand-washing in cold water to extend the life of the compression materials and silicone grippers.

How does D3O material work?

D3O molecules flow freely when moving slowly, keeping the pad flexible, but lock together upon high-velocity impact to absorb and dissipate energy.

Can I wear these under my riding pants?

Yes, the Stage Knee Guards have a relatively low profile and will fit comfortably under most standard mountain bike riding pants.

What is the CE EN1621-1 certification?

It is a European standard for motorcycle limb protectors, confirming that the gear provides a verified level of impact protection.

Does the sizing differ between the X-Small/Small and X-Large/2X-Large versions?

Yes, the fit is graded to ensure the compression bands and length provide proper coverage for different leg dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Guard sliding down during rides

Ensure the Fitlock compression band is tightened correctly and the inner silicone grippers are clean of mud or excess sweat.

Irritation behind the knee

Check that the breathable mesh panel is centered behind the knee joint; readjust the orientation to ensure no seams are bunching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of protection and pedal comfort
  • D3O material is low-profile and lightweight
  • Highly breathable mesh rear panel reduces overheating
  • Secure fit system prevents mid-ride adjustments

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme downhill race protection
  • Requires precise sizing for the compression band to work correctly
  • Padding profile is slightly bulkier than minimalist trail sleeves

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the Fitlock compression band is positioned securely around the upper calf muscle. The guard should sit centered over your kneecap when your leg is slightly bent. For care, it is recommended to remove the D3O insert before washing if possible, or hand-wash the guards in cold water with mild detergent. Always air dry the guards away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the elastic materials and silicone grippers. Periodically check the stitching and fabric for signs of wear after heavy crashes, as the protective integrity of the chassis can be compromised over time.
