The Endura MT500 D30 Ghost Knee Pads are for those rides where you don't need chunky downhill hard pads but you'd rather not go unprotected. Maybe you're going for a quick lap of your local, which you know like the back of your hand put you want to wear pads as a just-in-case measure. Or, your're setting out on an epic full-day ride and you don't want to worry about taking your pads on and off. In either of these situations and many more, Endura's Ghost knee pads are the perfect solution.

The Ghost pads are built around a D3O insert, which provides the bulk of the protection. The D3O meterial is soft and plyable but stiffens when struck to distrubute and dissapate the impact force. The ghost insert is even more plyable than normal due to its cut-out honeycomb construction. This also makes the pads breathe better for exceptional comfort when riding. There are also EVA foam pads down the side of the knee, making it one of the most protective lightweight knee pads out there.

Mobilty and comfort were the top priorities in designing these pads, so if you fancy a more protective alternative then take a look at the MT500 Lite or the MT500 Hard Shell knee pads

There is no escaping that such a minimalist pad is not going to be as protective as its heavier relatives. However, if you prioritise comfort, pedalabilty and light weight, then the Endura MT500 D3O Ghost pads are a fantastic option.

Tester Comments:

These are my new favourite pads. I wear them just about every time I ride and they've saved my knees a couple of times. They stay put all day eeven though there are no straps, they just fit that well. I did find that they took a couple of rides to soften up properly but after that, they have been super comfy. If I'm heading out to ride anything particularly steep, fast or technical, then I might reach for a heavier set of knee guards but the Ghosts are perfect for 90% of my riding.
