SAS-TEC Elbow/Knee Protector – Level 2
Upgrade the protective performance of your motorcycle riding gear with the SAS-TEC Elbow/Knee Protector – Level 2. Designed for riders looking for advanced impact protection without the stiffness and bulk of a traditional hard-shell protector, this armor uses viscoelastic foam technology that remains soft and flexible during normal riding but reacts to sudden impacts by hardening and absorbing energy.
The protector is certified to CE EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2, providing a higher level of impact protection for the elbows and knees. Its flexible, edge-free construction is designed to provide improved comfort and mobility while riding.
The SAS-TEC protector is supplied as a pair, making it a practical replacement or upgrade option for compatible motorcycle riding jackets, riding pants and protective gear.

SAS-TEC Viscoelastic Protection
Unlike conventional hard-shell armor, SAS-TEC protection uses viscoelastic foam material.
Under normal conditions, the material remains soft and flexible, allowing riders to move naturally while riding. When subjected to a sudden impact, the closed-cell structure responds by becoming more rigid and absorbing the impact energy.
This combination of flexibility and impact absorption makes viscoelastic armor a popular choice for motorcycle protective equipment where both mobility and protection are important.
CE Level 2 Motorcycle Protection
The SAS-TEC Elbow/Knee Protector is certified to CE EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2.
Level 2 motorcycle armor is designed to provide a higher level of impact attenuation than Level 1 protection, making it a suitable choice for riders looking to upgrade the protective inserts in compatible motorcycle apparel.
The armor is designed for use in the elbow or knee protection areas of compatible riding equipment.
Comfortable Flexible Armor
Motorcycle protection does not need to be rigid to provide effective impact protection.
The SAS-TEC construction is soft and flexible during normal movement, helping the rider maintain natural elbow and knee movement. This can make it more comfortable for everyday riding, touring and long-distance motorcycle journeys.
The absence of a hard shell and sharp edges also contributes to a more comfortable fit when installed correctly inside compatible riding gear.

The SAS-TEC armor can be used as a replacement or upgrade for compatible protective motorcycle apparel.
It is suitable for compatible:
-
Motorcycle riding jackets

How many protectors are included?
The product is sold as a pair, meaning two armor pieces are included.

Is the SAS-TEC protector flexible?
Yes. The viscoelastic foam is designed to remain soft and flexible during normal movement, helping maintain comfort and mobility while riding.
Can I use it as replacement armor?

Is it suitable for motorcycle touring?
Yes. The combination of flexible construction and CE Level 2 impact protection makes it suitable for compatible touring, adventure and everyday motorcycle riding gear.
Will it fit any motorcycle jacket or riding pants?
