At EVS Sports, innovation and rider-driven design are at the core of everything we do. Today, 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.

A New Look Built on a Proven Platform

The Slayco96 Knee Guard has become a favorite among freeriders and motocross athletes thanks to its lightweight impact-resistant shell, extended coverage zones, and secure all-day fit. With the addition of the Explosion colorway, riders can now take that same trusted performance to a new visual level.

Explosion blends bold splashes of red, green, and yellow against a deep black backdrop, creating a chaotic, high-impact look that feels alive—perfectly capturing the attitude and intensity of modern freeriding.

Designed with Axell. Styled by Renen. Built by EVS.

This colorway is the latest expression of what happens when engineering, art, and rider instinct collide.

“I’m pumped to drop the new Explosion colorway with EVS and Renen. We wanted to bring something loud and different to the Slayco line, and this one hits hard. Same trusted protection—just way more style,” said Axell Hodges.

From the Renen creative team, Pete Fox added:
“The Explosion design was all about capturing raw energy. The red, green, and yellow paint splashes over black create this chaotic, high-impact look that feels alive—almost like it’s moving even when the rider’s standing still. Working with Axell and EVS, we wanted a graphic that reflected Axell’s unpredictable style and the intensity of freeriding. Explosion hits that perfectly.”

Made for Riders Who Refuse to Blend In

Whether you’re hitting freeride lines in the hills or carving track ruts, the Explosion colorway delivers unmistakable style without compromising performance. It’s the perfect match for riders who expect protection they can trust—and a look that can’t be ignored.

The Slayco96 Knee Guard — Explosion colorway is available exclusively through EVS Sports and authorized dealers.
