We’re constantly testing the best bits of kit, and over the past 14 months we’ve been testing out the latest Evo Knee Protectors out of the SixSixOne camp. Check out the original article from issue #016 or read on below!

the
SixSixOne are straight outta Southern California and base themselves around the protective market, starting in motorbikes. So, if you’re that fast…

Given the condition these are in, no one can quite believe that Aaron has been riding and racing in the SixSixOne Evo Knee protectors for over a year. “No protectors have ever lasted me as long as these! Everything is still in tip­top condition – the Velcro, seams, and rubber straps,” exclaims a visibly impressed Aaron.

Fitting and breathing well, these 100 € knee pads score highly for comfort, even on long rides. The Kevlar front seems indestructible, but you do feel ground friction when you crash due to their rough surface. Because of that, they get pulled off more easily – but the SixSixOne protectors do absorb the first impact effectively and reliably.
