The Fox Launch Elite MTB Knee/Shin Guards are designed for mountain bikers seeking a balance between high-impact safety and pedal-friendly mobility. These guards are ideal for trail and enduro riders who need robust lower-leg protection without the bulk of heavy hardshell pads, though their sleeve-style construction may feel restrictive if the sizing is not precisely matched to your leg.

Yes, they meet EN1621-1 Level 1 CE Certification standards for impact protection.
It is recommended to hand wash these to preserve the life of the elastic grippers and the D3O inserts.
Yes, they provide sufficient protection for trail and enduro racing while offering the mobility needed for pedaling.
Yes, the guards include bonded Poron pods on the sides to provide added protection against frame strikes and incidental impact.
D3O is a patented material that is soft and flexible under normal conditions but locks together on impact to absorb energy.
Ensure the silicone gripper prints are clean and making direct contact with skin. If they continue to slip, you may need a different size for a tighter fit.
Hand wash with an anti-bacterial sport wash. Ensure they are completely dry before storage to prevent microbial growth.
D3O material reacts to body heat. Put the guards on 5-10 minutes before riding to allow your body temperature to soften the inserts.
To achieve the best fit, slide the guards up so the knee cap rests securely in the center of the D3O insert, ensuring the Poron shin extension is centered. Because these are unisex guards, ensure you reference the size chart to match your calf and thigh circumference. For care, hand wash the pads in cold water using a mild detergent. Always air dry them away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, as high temperatures can degrade the D3O material. Avoid using strong chemical cleaners to maintain the integrity of the anti-microbial fabric treatment.
