Body Armour

It's important that your feet don't slip from the pedals, so grippy, comfortable cycle shoes or trainers are important, as are sunglasses to protect your eyes, and more information about these can be found in their respective sections.

For downhill mountain bike enthusiasts, rigid body armour might be necessary. Protection is available for the entire body, from knee and shin guards to full torso and spine defenders to reduce the risk of serious injury, as well as wrist guards to nearly eliminate sprains and breaks. Manufactured using cutting edge materials, they, like helmets, are light, flexible and strong.
