Collection: MTB Protection

(63)

Alpinestars offers comprehensive mountain bike protection including helmets, body armor, knee and elbow guards, back protectors, chest protection, and gloves. Each product category is engineered with impact-absorbing materials and ergonomic designs to provide race-proven safety across trail, enduro, and downhill riding disciplines. The collection features CE-certified protection options that balance mobility with coverage for technical terrain.

Your protection needs depend on your riding discipline and terrain. Trail riders typically require helmets, gloves, and knee pads for moderate protection with maximum mobility. Enduro and all-mountain riders benefit from adding elbow guards and back protectors for extended descents and technical sections. Downhill and park riders should consider full-face helmets, chest protection, and comprehensive body armor for maximum impact protection during high-speed runs and jumps.

Consider the intensity, speed, and technical difficulty of your typical rides when selecting protection gear from this collection.

Yes, most Alpinestars MTB protection products are designed as standalone pieces that work with any riding apparel. Knee guards, elbow pads, and body armor feature adjustable straps and ergonomic fits that integrate seamlessly under or over jerseys and pants from any manufacturer. Helmets follow universal sizing standards and are compatible with standard goggle systems and accessories.

For optimal integration and performance, consider pairing protection items from the same collection, as they're engineered to work together without interference or overlap.

Clean MTB protection regularly with mild soap and cold water, especially after muddy or dusty rides. Remove soft goods and padding when possible and hand wash separately. Air dry all items away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve foam integrity and elastic properties. Avoid machine washing hard-shell protectors, as this can damage impact-absorbing materials and structural components.

Inspect protection gear before each ride for cracks, worn straps, or compressed foam. Replace any items showing significant wear or after major impacts, as protective materials may be compromised even without visible damage.

Alpinestars MTB protection products meet relevant CE certification standards where applicable, including EN 1621 for limb protectors and back protection, and safety standards for bicycle helmets. These certifications verify that products have passed rigorous impact absorption, penetration resistance, and ergonomic testing protocols.

Specific certification levels vary by product type and intended use. Check individual product specifications for detailed certification information to ensure the protection level matches your riding requirements.
