Review: Fox Enduro Pro Knee Pads

The Fox Enduro Pro Knee Pads Are More Trail Than Enduro But Sooooo Comfortable!


Throughout my years of mountain biking I have had a hard time with most knee pads. Mainly in terms of sizing, comfort and getting them to stay put without having to adjust them every few feet along the ride. First off, members of the large legs club rejoice! I bought these because of some other reviews out there claiming how comfortable they were and then when I saw they came in an XXL I had to give them a go. For reference the middle of my thighs measure at 27" around and my calves at the largest point measure around 18.5". The XXL's fit awesome! Second, these DO. NOT. MOVE. During my rides with the Fox Enduro Pro Knee Pads I honestly have forgotten I am even wearing them! These are without a doubt the most comfortable knee pads I have ever worn. I would be perfectly fine wearing these on a big dumb ride. One of those rides where you think it might take you a few hours and that turns into like 8 hours and you run out of food, water and light. These would probably not be my first pick for bike park stuff or shuttle rides but anything that I am pedaling on, there is not a better choice for knee pads that I have seen. I would love to see Fox make this same pad with a bit thicker pad and more coverage area for more DH and bike park focused stuff with the same level of comfort.

Sizing guide shows suggested measurements being quite a bit smaller than what my measurements are however I do think they are not measuring off the largest part of the thigh and calf and more likely a couple inches above and below the knee?

The choice of material for impact protection is Koroyd which is super flexible but feels like it could withstand some decent blows. What is really nice about the Koroyd that I have noticed so far is just how flexible and fluid it is. This stuff is pretty amazing.

The outer material doesn't seem like it will slide as easily as a hard shell pad, but a hard shell won't feel this comfortable to pedal in either. The outer material also seems like it's going to hold up quite well.

Little grippers do a great job keeping the pads in place.
