The Dainese Rival family of protectors is designed to offer maximum resistance and protection, and the unique freedom to ride without constraints. The Dainese Rival Pro knee guards bring the protection of steel to the world of mountain biking. This, combined with the flexibility and breathability of Pro-Shape 2.0 technology guarantees excellent freedom of movement during every phase of activity, from the most extreme descents to ascents and transfers, the wearer benefiting from the highest level of safety at all times. Without ever feeling the need to lower or remove them. The steel plate in the center of the knee, inspired by the sliders developed by Dainese for MotoGP™ suits, offers heightened protection against any punctures from sharp objects such as rocks and roots or any high-speed impacts, its excellent slide properties useful in the case of a skid. The main protector in Pro-Shape 2.0 offers great flexibility and protection due to its carbo-elastomer construction, inspired by the geometry of auxetic materials found in nature. An open structure across 45% of the entire surface guarantees the highest levels of ventilation and comfort in every situation. In addition, external protective bolsters provide extra protection for the knee in case of a skid. Positioning and stability during every phase of activity are guaranteed by the construction, with its integrated elastic and long, perforated sock that ensures excellent ventilation and breathability across the covered area. The highest level of safety and resistance, in a protector to be worn at all times, even when climbing.
The highest level of safety and resistance, in a protector to be worn at all times.
The metal plate in the center of the protector, derived from the Dainese sliders designed for professional MotoGP™ riders’ suits, offers superior protection against frontal impacts and sharp objects. It also facilitates sliding in the event of a fall, reducing the risk of any dangerous rolling.
Inspired by the geometries of natural auxetics, the Pro-Shape 2.0 protector follows knee movements, dissipates the energy from any shock, and expands in all directions in the event of an impact. External protective bolsters offer additional protection in the event of a slide. A hybrid construction with integrated technologies to achieve the highest level of safety.
The structure of the Pro-Shape 2.0 protector ensures maximum protection with an open and ventilated surface across 45% of the entire area of coverage. Together with the sock in light and resistant breathable fabric, it provides ideal ventilation during every phase of activity.
With its Pro-Shape 2.0 Hybrid construction, the Rival Pro knee guard is designed to allow its wearer to tackle every phase of activity with maximum freedom. It offers the highest level of protection, with no need to lower or remove it while pedaling, climbing or transferring.
