Bluegrass Aura Core Elbow Pads – Lightweight Level 1 Protection for Trail, Enduro, DH and eMTB

The Aura Core is Bluegrass's slim-fitting, under-jersey elbow pad built for riders who want genuine protection without the bulk. EN 1621 Level 1 Type A certified, it uses Triple-Flex SAS-TEC technology to deliver impact absorption that stays flexible and responsive rather than rigid and restrictive.

What It Does

The long-sleeve construction wraps the elbow in a second-skin fit, keeping the pad stable through rough terrain without constant readjustment. Four-way stretch fabric moves with your arm in every direction, and the minimal-seam design means no pressure points when you're gripping the bars hard over technical ground. The pad is slim enough to sit cleanly under a long-sleeve jersey, making it well suited to racing days, cold-weather riding, or any session where you want protection that stays hidden.

Why Torque Collective Stock This

Most riders who end up not wearing elbow pads gave up on them because of bulk, heat, or slippage. The Aura Core addresses all three: it's light enough to forget you're wearing it, breathable enough for full days out, and the SAS-TEC pad holds its position without a strap system getting in the way. For trail, enduro, and eMTB riders who want certified protection they'll actually keep on through a full ride, this is a practical choice we're happy to carry.
