What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I love how the X4 Elbow Guards provide solid protection without feeling bulky. The SmartFlex pads flex naturally as I ride but firm up instantly on impact. Plus, the breathable compression fabric and molded fit mean they stay in place-even on long, technical descents."When we hit the trail, we need elbow protection that moves with us. The X4 Elbow Guards feature a pre-curved SmartFlex design, offering a low-profile fit that flexes naturally but hardens on impact. This ensures we stay protected without feeling restricted. The breathable compression fabric keeps things cool, while the internal grooves and vent network improve airflow, even when the guards are pressed against the skin. A textured bottom gripper and wide red top band keep them locked in place, making them perfect for all-mountain, technical trail, and cross-country rides.
