FOX Racing · Knee Guard · Mountain Bike
The FOX Launch Knee/Shin Pads are men’s mountain bike knee guards built for riders who want extended knee-to-shin coverage in a value-focused design.
A slip-on build with hook and loop adjusters helps dial in a secure fit, while a silicone print thigh band is designed to help keep the guard in place during pedaling. Up front, an abrasion-resistant panel adds durability where it counts, and the pre-curved ergonomic shape is made to sit naturally on the leg for long rides.
Launch Knee/Shin Pads use a removable D3O insert that meets EN1621-1 Level 1 CE requirements. For added coverage, an extended EVA lower is designed to cover more of the shin, and contoured EVA side panels add extra coverage in the event of a fall.
A silicone print thigh band is designed to help keep the guard from moving while pedaling, helping it stay positioned as terrain and cadence change.

Comfort
These guards are designed to balance coverage with day-long usability on mountain bike rides.

The silicone print thigh band is meant to help reduce shifting as the rider pedals, supporting a consistent fit over changing terrain and longer sessions.
