  1. Richard L.

    You’re gonna love these pads — fit great, lightweight, superb protection!

  2. sharon

    Look no further, these are great. I’m still loving them after using them alot in the past month. They are lightweight and breathable but not flimsy in the armor. I don’t notice them on while riding so theres no reason not to just wear them on most rides whether downhill or cross country. Everything here in Bend has some lava so protection is ALWAYS nice 🙂 I’m really happy with these. They fit me better overall and at the elastic tops, the fabric is well cut /nicer/more breathable so they will be great when its really hot out and the protection is beefier than the previous brand I used. Oh, and the armor is removable so you can wash these too!!!

  3. Tania

    Absolutely love these!

  4. Dee G.

  5. James Pottinger

    Stellar customer service and product!

  6. Gwen G Feero

    They fit great and inspire needed confidence.

  7. John C.

    Very comfortable even on an all day ride. I have been using these on every ride.

  8. Maribel Sanchez

    Perfect fit! I’ll definitely purchase again!

  9. Melanie S.

    I wasn’t sure I needed elbow pads. But tried them out anyway. They fit great, I didn’t notice them at all during my ride. And then I fell! Did a sort of roll and hit my elbow on a rock! Didn’t feel a thing. In the few days after I developed a decent bruise at that spot. Nothing more. So I’d say these elbow pads worked great! Don’t really want to know what that would have felt like without the gear.

    Super comfortable and lightweight. Happy with the quality and price

  12. Keith M.

    Excellent elbow pads for the trails! Only problem is they don’t have a size medium and the large extra large is a tad loose.

    These Speed King elbow pads offer excellent construction, are very comfortable at the bend, and use a clever design allowing easy removal of the thick pads to wash the outer kevlar & stretchy sleeve. At 5’8” 175lbs I have pretty average, not-so-muscular arms and the S/M fit me very snugly, but I think the L/XL may have been too loose. Other elbow pads I’ve used stretched a little bit with use, and I’d expect these to as well, as they will last a long time. Shipping/handling was a breeze as well. Thanks Ninja MTB!

    I’ve worn these on several rides now. Don’t even know I have them on. Have tried other brands and have had to send them back. These pads are great!

  21. Laurent G.

  22. David Olson

    The pads work well and the customer service was just as good. But the sizing is definitely not for walking beanpoles, like me. If you are extremely skinny, I would recommend you count on needing to alter them a little. All I needed to do was sew a little bit of the elastic band over itself and once they fit, the confidence difference was huge and I started sending jumps, tricks, and gaps I thought I was always going to be afraid of.

    Bought them for a weekend clinic. Thought they would go straight to the back of my gear cabinet. But they are very comfortable protection. I’ll be using them on every ride. Thx Ninja!

"These Speed Kings are great… comfort and confidence, you forget you are wearing them but you know they are there… EXACTLY what you want in your pads/protection!!! I have an extensive ‘collection’ of knee and elbow pads, these are now my go-to pads for my rides!"
Keith B.
Verified Customer
"My first ride and impression with the Speed Kings knee pads – comfy and secure on the knee. The best pads are ones you will wear every ride, no exception. I wasn’t even aware I had them on; no pinching, binding, etc. I have tried numerous pads these are by far the best."
