Built on the trusted Slayco96 protection platform, this new graphic delivers high-impact style without sacrificing performance. Designed with splashes of red, green, and yellow over a deep black background, the Explosion colorway captures the raw energy and unpredictable attitude of modern freeriding. Developed under the creative direction of Renen and Pete Fox, this design ignites a fresh visual edge to one of EVS’ most popular knee guards. Price for the Slayco96 knee guard in the Explosion colorway is listed at $160 per pair.

Slayco96 Knee Guard Features

  • RMF
    • Reactive Memory Foam (RMF) gives you the best of both worlds: all-day comfort and serious impact protection. The foam stays soft and flexible while you ride, molding to your knee for a natural, unrestricted feel. The moment you take a hit, it instantly hardens to absorb and disperse impact energy.
  • BIOFOAM
    • Bike hugging molded bio-foam shields your knee and shin from impacts, and the foam wings keep the pad tight to the bike so you can stay locked in. More control. More confidence. No slipping, even when the ride gets sketchy.
  • Breathable
    • Class-leading engineered Hexprene fabric gives you targeted support while pushing airflow through the pad to keep you cool, dry, and protected on every ride.
  • COMPRESSION FIT
    • The inner sleeve delivers a snug, supportive fit that boosts knee stability and prevents pad slip, keeping your focus on the ride, not your gear.
