I tried on a heap of them, thought they were all rubbish...finally found Oneil Pumpguns... They are pivoted, so really comfy on a pitbike, and protect the sides of your knees too..

 

[beginnerMX]

sweet thanks ill look into them how much did you pay?

I run the top end fox ones which are really good.

Don't buy Thor ones as they are rubbish. Clips broke on mine after the first ride.

I have had these and thought they were rubbish, they pivot on the front of yoru knee, so they actually need to stretch a bit when your bend your knee, and there is no strap above your knee, which is no good if riding in shorts, I even found them a pain with pants on.

I run the AXO ones, they seem pretty good + they have the pivot point on the knee. Only issue i sometimes have with them (very rare) is they sometimes lock open at the pivot point, but thats only because when your my height and you sit down, your knees sit around your ears.... But besides that they are a good thing and I picked mine up at the local bike shop for $40 or you can get em fomr ebay for about the same.

you want this kind of knee pad, the other kind arent as great

 

[dynamicgs]

Anything with a pivot I recon... if it has no pivot, im not into it... just gets annoying

i have my eyes on the 661s as its got the most recommendations lil pricey though but i guess you pay for quality.
