DHaRCO Gravity Knee Pad
Level 2 protection you’ll actually ride in
The DHaRCO Gravity Knee Pad delivers genuine, high-level protection in a design that’s comfortable enough to wear all day.
Built around a Level 2 CE-certified RHEON™ insert, this is not your typical lightweight sleeve pad. It’s designed for riders who want proper impact protection without the bulk, restriction, or discomfort that usually comes with it.
What It Does
This is a pedal-friendly knee pad that:
- Absorbs and disperses impact through advanced RHEON™ protection
- Stays comfortable on climbs and long rides
- Provides extended coverage beyond just the kneecap
It sits directly between lightweight trail pads and full downhill armour — which is where most riders should be.
Why We Stock It (Torque Collective View)
Most knee pads force a compromise:
- Comfortable, but not very protective
- Protective, but uncomfortable to ride in
This doesn’t.
The DHaRCO Gravity pad stands out because it delivers:
- Level 2 protection
- Sleeve-style comfort
- Low-profile, pedal-friendly fit
That combination is rare — and genuinely useful in real riding.
This is the kind of protection riders actually keep on all ride, rather than removing halfway through.
