Amplifi MKX Knee Protectors for Bike and Snowboard
MKX Knee protectors earned the World of MTB Best of 2020 award.
Amplifi used the latest 3D knitting technology to create the MKX knee protector. The seamless one-piece sock-thin sleeve conforms and molds perfectly to the shape of your body - the first protector of its kind.
With the MKX Knee Protector, the Amplifi brand demonstrates the latest in knee protector technology. The 3D knitted sleeve is made of a flexible material and contributes extremely to ventilation and comfort during movement. The protective Hex Grid 3D honeycomb-shaped protector is injection moulded directly onto the sleeve during production. The knee protector made in this way does not require seams, glue or Velcro.
The Amplifi MKX Knee intentionally does not offer the lateral protection of heavier knee pads.
The result is a knee protector that is so thin, weighing only 280 grams, and so comfortable that it's so inconspicuous you'll easily forget you're wearing it. Thanks to advanced technology, waste in production is also minimised and only the smallest amount of material is used for the protectors.
