Product Information
Full details
The Endura MT500 D3O Ghost Elbow Pad is designed for mountain bikers and trail riders who prioritize comfort alongside certified safety. By utilizing revolutionary D3O Ghost technology, these pads offer a flexible, low-profile fit that avoids the bulkiness of traditional armor while still meeting CE EN 1621/1 impact standards; however, riders seeking heavy-duty, hard-shell protection for extreme downhill racing may find the lightweight soft-pad construction less robust than rigid alternatives.

FAQs
Can I put these pads in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to hand wash these pads to maintain the structural integrity of the D3O insert and the elasticity of the cuffs.
Are these pads suitable for downhill racing?
These are optimized for enduro and trail riding; while they offer great protection, they do not provide the hard-shell coverage required for professional downhill racing.
What happens to the D3O material after a crash?
The D3O material is designed to return to its flexible state after impact. However, always inspect the fabric sleeve for tears after a hard crash.
Do these come in pairs?
Yes, the Endura MT500 D3O Ghost Elbow Pads are sold as a pair.
How do I know which size to pick?
Measure the circumference of your arm at the bicep and forearm and compare those measurements to the specific size guide for the S/M, M/L, or L/XL variants.
Troubleshooting
Pad slips down during riding
Ensure the silicone gripper is in contact with clean, dry skin; remove any lotions or oils before use.
Material feels stiff or uncomfortable
D3O material is temperature sensitive; wear the pads for a few minutes to allow your body heat to increase the flexibility of the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and low-profile design
- Superior flexibility for unrestricted movement
- Breathable materials prevent overheating on long rides
- Stays securely in place due to silicone grippers
- Certified impact protection that hardens instantly on contact
Cons
- Not intended for extreme downhill or moto-style protection
- Lacks a hard outer shell to deflect sharp rocks
- Fit must be precise; incorrect sizing may lead to sliding
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the silicone grippers are positioned directly against your skin or a thin base layer. Pull the sleeve up until the pad covers the point of your elbow, ensuring the jacquard cuff is snug but not constricting.
For care, hand wash the pads in cool water using mild soap to protect the D3O insert integrity. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents. Always air dry the pads away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can degrade the D3O technology and elastic components. Regularly inspect the stitching and elastic for signs of wear after heavy crash impacts.
