Fox uses their proprietary F3 Armor to give these CE-certified pads an EN1621-1 Level 1 knee protection rating for high and low conditions.

The Enduro Knee Sleeves are a pedal friendly option that provide moderate levels of protection. The Fox Racing Enduro Knee Sleeve are a great choice for trail riders seeking a lightweight and pedal-friendly solution. People who plan on grinding uphill for substantial periods will love these pads.

Where is the padding on the Enduro knee sleeve?

The padding on the front of the knee pad is soft to the touch, and it extends from the top of the knee cap down the shin a little way. In addition, there is some added coverage on the sides of the knee, which can prove critical. This padding is not a shell or an exterior armor like many other pads in our review.

If you want a lightweight MTB knee pad that stays comfortable all day long, then we think the cool-looking Enduro could be the protector for you. While we don’t think it is tough enough for the more technical and ‘on-the-edge’ downhill riding, these Fox knee pads are a good choice for a day out having a fun blast on the lower trails.

Lightweight and with a comfortable, slip-on design, they are also sleek and streamlined, so little to catch on a fast-spinning pedal or passing branch. Made from perforated neoprene, they are breathable and allow moisture to evaporate to keep you cool and dry. The knee cup is tall for excellent coverage and made from abrasion-resistant padding that absorbs the impact of the average fall or scrap. And there is a silicone gripper inside the top hem to keep it all snug and firmly in place. While these mountain bike knee pads won’t offer sufficient protection for a major, downhill spill or total wipe-out, they will keep you in one piece for a tumble on the flat or less challenging trail.
