Elevate your mountain biking experience with the Terra MTB Knee and Elbow Guards, the proud winner of the ISPO Award 2023. These cutting-edge guards represent a fusion of safety and sustainability for mountain bikers, delivering unparalleled protection while leaving a minimal environmental footprint.
The Terra MTB Knee and Elbow Guards provide CE-certified EN1621-1 Level 1 protection, meeting the highest safety standards. At the core of these guards lies the groundbreaking RE ZRO® technology, which is the world's first fully biodegradable* and 100% recyclable** impact protection material. This technology is not only lightweight and flexible but also offers unrivaled ventilation. It's designed to meet and exceed CE Level 1 and 2 standards, ensuring your safety on the trails.
“The Terra Knee and Elbow Guards are a statement of dedication to the sport, the environment, and riders of all levels looking to go next level. Our inspiration stemmed from the need for a minimalist yet highly functional guard, and we went the extra mile by integrating a compelling sustainability narrative”, explains Paul Fisher, G-Form VP of Global Product.
Design and Functionality
The Terra Guards boast a minimal and streamlined design inspired by conscious material use, making them both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The exterior features an abrasion-resistant layer for exceptional durability on rugged trails. The protective pads are nestled in a breathable mesh pocket, ensuring comfort during long rides.
A distinctive feature of the Terra Guards is the coated mesh window on the front knee/elbow, providing a visual tribute to the cutting-edge technology within. The top stitching, in striking contrast, holds it securely in place. The guards are easy to maintain with removable and washable pads.
The sleeves are designed for practicality and sophistication, with extra-wide elastic straps for stability. Inside, a silicone gripper ensures a secure fit, reinforced by overlock stitching. A low-profile, silicone-textured gripper band along the bottom of the sleeve prevents undesirable rolling up.
USP: Sustainability
Beyond their protective prowess, the Terra Guards embody a commitment to sustainability. The RE ZRO® technology is 100% recyclable and fully biodegradable, proving to return to zero in a landfill in 3–5 years. This innovation significantly reduces the environmental impact and sets a new standard for eco-friendly protective gear.
