Description
Alpinestars Bionic Pro Plasma Elbow Guard
Engineered for enduro riders and motocross enthusiasts seeking CE Level 2-certified protection without compromising mobility or comfort.
Key Innovations:
– Dual-layer thermoplastic shell matrix positioned over high-impact zones (olecranon/forearm) for abrasion resistance during slides and superior shock absorption
– Patented Slip-Joint™ hinge system allows 180° articulation while maintaining a compression-free fit during technical maneuvers
– Nucleon PLASMA core (USDA BioPreferred-certified) combines plant-based viscoelastic foam with hexagonal airflow channels for 30% better heat dissipation vs standard protectors*
Rider-Centric Design:
✔️ Anatomically contoured pre-shaped chassis hugs elbow geometry in all riding postures
✔️ Moisture-wicking perforated lining prevents sweat buildup during multi-hour rides
✔️ Quick-release magnetic closure at upper cuff enables one-handed adjustments while wearing gloves
Eco-Conscious Protection:
– First motorcycle elbow guard using 50% bio-derived polymers in impact layers (certified Cradle to Cradle Silver)
– Removable Nucleon PLASMA core allows targeted washing to extend product lifespan by 200%†
*Lab-tested vs conventional EPS protectors
†Based on 3-year consumer usage study
