ALPINESTARS SX-1 PLASMA KNEE PROTECTOR

The SX-1 PLASMA Knee Protector features the PLASMA Knee Protector built into a highly ventilated semi-rigid frame construction for superior impact protection, while the integrated Dual Gear System (DGS) promotes natural knee movement.

Features

• Extremely comfortable: the Nucleon PLASMA knee pad is made of a USDA-certified, bio-based viscoelastic material. Designed for multi-directional flexibility, it conforms to the knee and fits snugly, effectively dissipating impact energy and providing reliable protection.
• Dual-density frame for support and unparalleled comfort: designed with a convex lower extension made of a soft polymer blend to avoid any pressure associated with the hard edge that occurs when the boot is pressed against the boot protector. The same convex design is also used for the upper extension, which prevents the boot from digging into the skin and causing discomfort during riding.
• Controlled natural movement: equipped with a double gear system (DGS), where the upper and lower frames have integrated gear profiles that ensure smooth hinge action and promote natural knee movement.
• Ergonomic frames with versatile sizes:The ergonomically designed frames of the SX-1 PLASMA knee protector feature strategically placed rigid and flexible coated shells that provide a secure yet flexible fit for different leg sizes.

Construction

• Lightweight knee protection with extensive protective coverage.
• The upper and lower frames are made of high-performance polymer for optimum flexibility and strength and excellent weight-saving properties.
• The integrated double pivot hinge system of the upper and lower frame follows the natural movement of the knee and keeps the protector in the correct position during driving.
• The frames have a slim ergonomic design.
• The double buckle closure system features a velcro strap fastening and buckles for easy on and off and a customised, secure fit.
