“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. Going for the Speed King Elbow next.”

“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!”
