Product Information

Full details

The SixSixOne Recon V2 Knee Pads are designed for adult trail and all-mountain riders who prioritize lightweight mobility without compromising on safety. Featuring D3O Ghost technology, these pads offer a sleek, low-profile fit that sits comfortably under riding pants or over skin, providing a significant boost in impact protection; however, users seeking heavy-duty downhill armor may find the minimalist design less supportive than bulkier, hard-shell alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pads machine washable?

We recommend hand washing the fabric sleeves to extend their lifespan, though you must remove the D3O inserts first.

Can I wear these under tight riding pants?

Yes, their low-profile, minimalist design makes them ideal for wearing under most modern mountain bike pants.

Do I need to wear Padlock shorts for these to work?

No, the pads are designed to stay in place using silicone grippers, but Padlock shorts offer extra stability for aggressive riding.

Are they suitable for downhill racing?

These are designed for trail and all-mountain riding. For dedicated downhill racing, a hard-shell pad is usually recommended.

How do I know what size I need?

Consult the brand's size chart by measuring the circumference of your thigh approximately 6 inches above your kneecap.

Troubleshooting

Pads sliding down during the ride

Ensure the silicone grippers are against bare skin and not layered over clothing. If the fit remains loose, consider if you are between sizes and require a smaller unit.

Feeling pinching behind the knee

Check that the back of the knee is clear of fabric folds. Ensure the stretch mesh is pulled taut to prevent bunching during the full range of motion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptionally lightweight and low-profile fit
Superior comfort for long days in the saddle
Highly flexible D3O Ghost inserts offer non-restrictive pedaling
Excellent moisture management via stretch mesh panels

Cons

Not intended for extreme downhill or high-speed racing
Less side-impact protection than hard-shell guards
Requires proper sizing for optimal grip performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, pull the pad up so the center of the D3O insert aligns with your kneecap, then smooth the higher thigh cuff to engage the silicone grippers. If using Padlock shorts, snap the connectors into the corresponding loops on the short waistband to prevent the pads from migrating downward.

Care Instructions:

Remove the protective D3O inserts before washing if possible.
Hand wash the fabric sleeves in cool water with mild detergent.
Air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the elastic grippers.
Periodically check the silicone bands for dirt buildup; wipe with a damp cloth to restore tackiness.
