Elbow Guards

Elbow pads and elbow protectors for MTB, motocross and enduro – lightweight soft protectors and hard-shell models, also for children and teenagers.

Elbow pads for MTB and motocross

In falls, people often instinctively break their fall with their arms – elbows and forearms are therefore among the most frequently injured areas. Elbow pads protect against impacts, abrasions and flying stones and are useful for MTB, motocross and enduro.

Soft or hard shell?

  • Soft elbow pads: flexible impact foam, very light and comfortable – ideal for MTB, trail and enduro.
  • With hard shell: robust against sharp stones and hard edges – popular in motocross.
  • Long models: also protect the forearm.

Protection classes

  • EN 1621-1: Joint protectors for knees, elbows, shoulders and hips
  • EN 1621-2: Back protectors
  • EN 1621-3: Chest protectors
  • EN 14021: Stone strike protection (Roost Deflector) for off-road
  • Level 2 allows less residual force through in the test than Level 1 and thus offers more impact protection.

Size and fit

Measure the circumference of the upper and lower arm and compare it with the size specifications of the model. The pad must fit securely without cutting off circulation.
