Bluegrass
Arto Knee pads
SHORTENED SIZE, AMPLIFIED PROTECTION
Level 2 Certified MTB Kneepads for Trail, Enduro, DH and E-MTB
The new Bluegrass Arto kneepad is designed for riders seeking excellent protection with minimal length, reducing excess fabric coverage. With its half-calf construction, the Arto offers targeted protection for the kneecap without extra fabric layers. Crafted from breathable multi-layered fabric, the Arto facilitates airflow, making it also suitable for wear under long pants. Certified to Level 2 Type B for MTB, it’s versatile for E-MTB trail riding to bike park sessions, offering a solution for every ride.
Specification:
- Half-calf Construction: The Arto features a shorter design compared to traditional kneepads, prioritizing airflow without compromising on essential kneecap coverage. Its half-calf construction is a versatile solution between breathability and protection, ensuring comfort and safety during your rides.
- Side Protection: Featuring SAS-TEC Technology, we’ve integrated top-tier MTB impact protection surpassing Level 2 Type B certification. This is complemented by inner and outer sides EVA padding, providing additional shielding against frame hits and extending leg coverage.
- Stability and Comfort: The Arto is equipped with a thin Hook and loop strap strategically positioned to enhance stability without causing discomfort on the back of the knee while pedalling.
- Elastic Band: The upper elastic band delivers a customized fit around the quadriceps, accommodating various leg shapes for maximum comfort while riding.
- Breathability: Crafted from a multi-layered fabric featuring micro perforations, the new Bluegrass Arto ensures optimal airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout your rides.
- What is Level 2? Level 1 and Level 2 are certification’s grades based on the protector’s energy dissipation performance. 3 impacts are required on each protector in the central and side area. To get Level 2 certification the average result of those impacts should not exceed 20kN, ensuring a minimum of 40% improvement in energy dissipation compared to a Level 1.
- What is Type B? Type A and Type B define the minimum impact tested area of the protector, effectively indicating how much the pad safely covers the joint. Type B-certified protection provides 39% more coverage on knees.

- EN 1621 Level 2 Type B certified, highest MTB impact protection by SAS-TEC
