Dainese Rival Pro – Knee Protector

The Rival Pro knee pads bring the protection of steel to the world of mountain biking. Combined with the flexibility and breathability of Pro-Shape 2.0 technology, this guarantees a particularly high degree of freedom of movement.

That allows you to manage every phase of activity from the most extreme descents to climbs or transfers always with the highest level of safety – Without ever feeling the need to push down or remove the protectors.

The steel plate in the center of the knee is inspired by the sliders that Dainese has developed for the MotoGP™ suits. It provides excellent protection against the penetration of sharp or pointed objects such as rocks and roots and in case of impact at high speed, and supports sliders with its high sliding ability. The Pro-Shape 2.0 main protector offers maximum flexibility and protection thanks to its construction in carbon elastomer, inspired by the geometric shapes of auxetic materials found in nature.

Ventilation and comfort at the highest level in any situation thanks to the open structure on 45 % of the entire surface. The external protective pads provide additional protection to the knee. Positioning and stability in every phase of the ride are guaranteed by the design with integrated elastic and by the long perforated sock that allows excellent ventilation and breathability throughout the covered area. A protector that offers maximum safety and resistance and should always be worn, even when climbing.
