Description
Alpinestars Paragon Plus Knee Protectors are designed for mountain bikers who prioritize both safety and comfort during demanding trail rides and off-road adventures. Engineered with advanced materials and ergonomic innovation, these guards provide strategic protection without hindering movement or causing discomfort over extended sessions. Perfect for technical descents or aggressive pedaling on rough terrain, they’re built to adapt seamlessly to your riding style while maintaining durability against abrasion and impact.
Engineered for Performance:
The Paragon Plus combines 40% polyurethane for impact absorption with breathable stretch mesh panels that conform to your knees like a second skin. This lightweight yet rugged construction ensures you stay agile whether navigating tight switchbacks or powering through steep climbs. The slip-on design includes silicone-printed grippers at the cuffs to lock them securely in place during high-speed maneuvers or sudden stops—no more mid-ride adjustments.
Comfort Meets Protection:
Flat seams on the interior eliminate chafing and irritation, while pre-shaped ergonomic contours align perfectly with your body’s natural movements across varied riding positions. Key impact zones feature rip-stop fabric reinforcements that resist tearing even after repeated contact with rough surfaces, extending their lifespan through frequent use. The perforated protector pads are strategically secured within ventilated mesh pockets to enhance airflow and keep you cool during intense downhill sprints or endurance climbs.
Why Choose Alpinestars?
Compared to competitors like Fox Racing’s rigid designs or Troy Lee’s bulkier options, the Paragon Plus strikes an ideal balance between flexibility and durability. Its breathable construction outperforms heavier alternatives such as Giro’s knee pads while offering superior abrasion resistance through targeted reinforcement zones.
