Motocross and off-road riding expose the upper body to constant punishment. Roost and rocks get kicked up constantly, branches come from out of nowhere, and even small mistakes can send a rider into the ground faster than expected.

Not all knee guards are created equal because not all riders want the same thing in a knee guard.  Some prioritize maximum mobility and bike feel, while others want added structure and coverage that sits closer to a knee brace.

Moto is unpredictable. The track changes every lap as ruts can change or deepen and crashes can happen unexpectedly. It’s a common mindset for riders to never swing a leg over a bike without wearing a helmet, but, for some reason, knee protection still gets treated as an optional thing for many riders.

We’re excited to introduce the newest evolution of the Slayco96 lineup: the Slayco96 Knee Guard in the all-new “Explosion” colorway—a dynamic, high-energy graphic born from our ongoing collaboration with Renen and legendary freerider Axell Hodges.
