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 R knee guard is designed to combine maximum safety with really practical use. The protection extends across the entire knee, from the upper section to mid-shin. Armoform technology with sliding polyethylene plates offers great impact dispersal and puncture protection. Its particular structure means that the force of an impact is dispersed across the entire surface of the protector, minimizing the energy transmitted to the knee. The hybrid crash absorb protector that extends across the shin helps to protect against impacts with the pedals, stones or any objects thrown up by the front wheel or a rider in front during a descent. The sliding plate structure guarantees excellent freedom of movement and the possibility to ride without constraints during transfer phases. The knee guards can be worn comfortably even without removing shoes, due to the practical straps that also ensure an excellent fit and hold.
