First Ride: iXS Trigger Race and Carve Race Knee Guards (Product Review)

Overall Review
Afew years back, we rounded up a bunch of knee pads in different categories (links HERE and HERE) to help our readers and viewers figure out what’s what. iXS had a couple of contenders in the mix back then that we got on well with, so when the company recently released two updated versions, we were eager to give them a try. Read on to find out how we got along, and you can also check out the Gear Show coverage to see the guards in action (jump straight to 4:56 for the relevant segment). iXS Carve Race Highlights iXS Trigger Race Highlights Xmatter protection foam (exchangeable) Low friction...

Super Light & Breathable! iXS Trigger FF Helmet Reviewed (Product Review)

Overall Review
The iXS Trigger FF builds on the company's Trigger AM half-shell helmet, providing full-face protection on more rides. It's fully certified up to the DH-specific ASTM 1952 standard and achieves its low weight by relying on an in-mold, single-layer EPS construction with an internal X-Frame "skeleton" molded into the chin bar to increase frontal impact strength and security.The Trigger FF is made in two shell sizes with an adjustable internal retention system and a set of different thickness pads to fine-tune the fit. The visor is adjustable and there is a clever "gripper pad" around the back to...

Tested: iXS Trigger AM Helmet (Product Review)

Overall Review
Aside from grabbing your bike, a helmet is the most essential product when prepping to ride. Helmet safety and design are all quite competitive these days with each brand touting a variety of features. A few months back, iXS launched an entirely new helmet, the Trigger AM. The focus was on fit and ventilation while still meeting all the current safety standards. We've been filling the top-shelf offering from iXS with buckets to sweat to see how all its features add up. To see if you should “pull the trigger,” keep scrolling. Strengths Weaknesses Helmet retention design Fidlock magnetic chin...

Overall Review
The iXS Trigger Knee guards have treated us very well during the testing period and yes, they’ve even hit the ground. From deserts to mountains, we have had these pads in all conditions and they have not failed in comfort or protection. They look great as well, with coverage that helps to minimize the shorts-to-knee pad gap that we have seen with other pads. Notably, these pads stay in place without pinching or bunching up. Let's get into it. Strengths Weaknesses Comfort and breathability Easy to wear when pedaling Level of protection Design and features that matter, none that don’t Stay in...

Overall Review
If it’s protection you need, you can be pretty sure that iXS has you covered. They’ve been making a wide range of different types of apparel and body armor for mountain biking since the Swiss brand was created in 2001, but that’s never a reason to rest on one’s laurels. For 2018, iXS has introduced several key updates to the Flow and Carve lines of product, so we decided to take a closer look.iXS Carve EVO+ Knee Guard Highlights Xmatter™ protection foam (exchangeable) AeroMesh™, light, moisture-wicking, breathable, anti-bacterial, added structural strength, high level of comfort LoopLock™...
