G-Form Protective Pads On Cross Bike Review

1 comment

Cross Bike Review recently gave G-Form’s Knee, Elbow and Shin protective pads the highest score possible, a World Cup rating.

The article, written by Scott Hackett, explained how wearing protective gear will not only protect you, but it can also help give you that sense of confidence when going out there and trying to master new skills or increase your intensity during your ride.

“It’s funny how resistant some people are to wearing protective gear other than a helmet. Yet the very same rider will be very cautious and worried of physical harm to a point that when practicing skills they get very little out of it and their skill development is greatly diminished as a result. Wearing protective pads are not directly going to make you a better rider but for the times when you do go boom a well fitting pad will offer some level of protection so it won’t hurt as bad by lessoning the severity of the impact.”

In his final say, Hacket stated, “The G-Form knee, elbow and shin pads with PORON® XRD™ are lightweight, flexible form fitting protection that is very effective and comfortable enough to wear all day with out slipping out of place and at a very reasonable price. Given these attributes there simply is no reason for any rider weather they are fearful of crashing or those that are pushing their limits all in between not to wear G-Form protective knee, elbow and shin pads. For when you go boom G-Form with PORON® XRD™ has you covered.”

“G-Form pads are the best protection available,” Petterson says, “I would recommend them to anybody that does any type of sport that takes any type of bodily impact.”

G-Form pads are one of the best product lines that I’ve brought into my shop. People see them being used on the trail by my other customers & come to the shop ready to get a set for themselves. Cross-country riders want them because they are light & don’t restrict movement. Down-hill & free-ride cyclists buy them because (unlike other pads) they wick sweat, making them cool in the summer & warm in the winter. Everyone likes them because of their superior protection. If customers still have questions as to the effectiveness of G-Form products, Cole, one of my staff, puts on his arm pads. Then we whack his elbow repeatedly with a ball-peen hammer. That always convinces them!

I am an avid cyclist who rides both to work and participates in longer group outings every weekend. It was not possible for me to enjoy the amount of miles I rode until I discovered G-Form products and applied them to all my bikes.

The discomfort from my saddle and bike hoods had eroded the joy of the sport for me. Numbness and tenderness were the results of any ride longer than my four mile commute to work. I have spent a small fortune on most of the ergonomic and expensive saddles only to be forced to abandon them in pain a short time later.

The G-form saddle and hood pads ease the pressure created by my normal contact points when cycling. I cannot wait to order the new Shimano/105 hood covers for additional hand comfort and protection when they are available.

Thank you G-Form for making riding an adventure again!
