POC VPD Max Elbow Guards: Certified Protection for Downhill and Enduro

VPD Max elbow guards are the ideal solution for those who ride downhill mountain biking and high-intensity technical trails. Featuring a double-layer VPD structure (Visco-elastic Polymer Dough), these guards are EN 1621-1 Level 2 certified, the highest available protection standard. The innovative material warms up and molds to the body during use, then hardens at the point of impact to effectively absorb the force of crashes from high-energy falls. The double-layer construction enables controlled sliding, ensuring superior impact management and reducing the risk of injury. Thanks to the ergonomically shaped elbow design, the guards naturally follow body movement while pedaling, maintaining a close fit without compromising freedom of movement.

Ergonomic Design and Optimal Comfort for Long Sessions

The VPD Max guards are designed to prioritize comfort during extended enduro and downhill sessions. The perforated VPD material structure allows for controlled compression and promotes airflow, preventing heat and moisture buildup. The outer cover in soft, stretch fabric, combined with Lycra in direct contact with the skin, ensures a comfortable fit and optimal breathability. The padding is shaped to perfectly follow the anatomical curves of the elbow, regardless of the riding position. This attention to ergonomic detail allows riders to focus on performance without distractions, maintaining maximum comfort even under high physical stress.

VPD Technology and Advanced Impact Protection

VPD (Visco-elastic Polymer Dough) technology represents an innovation in cycling protection. This intelligent material remains soft and flexible during normal movement, allowing natural elbow mobility. Upon impact, VPD instantly hardens to absorb and distribute crash force over a wider surface, reducing concentrated load on the joint. The double layering amplifies this protective capability, delivering superior defense against violent crashes typical of downhill and enduro. The guards are enclosed in a durable fabric sleeve that ensures long-lasting wear and easy maintenance. This combination of materials and design makes VPD Max the preferred choice for professional and amateur riders who refuse to compromise on safety.
