New Line Elevates Everyday Mountain Bike Protection with Re-engineered SmartFlex™ Technology for All Riders, All Terrains.
PROVIDENCE, RI, April 1, 2025 – G-Form®, the innovative technology protection brand, today proudly announced the launch of its all-new X4 Collection—a revolutionary full-body protective gear lineup designed for mountain bikers who demand the best in comfort, coverage, and performance.
The X4 Collection redefines impact protection with a complete range of MTB gear, including base layers, limb protection, jerseys, gloves, and more. At the core of the collection is G-Form’s re-engineered SmartFlex™ technology, now re-shaped for greater coverage, a lower profile, lighter weight, and increased flexibility. Combined with enhanced heat management features, including molded vents and breathable compression fabric, X4 ensures riders stay cool and comfortable on every ride.
“The X4 Collection is a game-changer,” said Paul Fisher, G-Form’s Vice President of Product. “We’ve redefined protection by making it more comfortable, breathable, and seamlessly integrated into a rider’s kit. Whether you’re tackling technical trails, all-mountain adventures, or cross-country rides, X4 gives you the confidence to push your limits.”
"What I like most about the new G-Form X4 line is that it’s protection I can trust and all-day comfort," said Ari Factory Racing pro MTB rider Kailey Skelton.
"The X4 Collection is lightweight, comfortable, and breathable, and I’m excited to put it on before every ride," said Propain Positive pro MTB rider Phil Atwill.
The X4 Collection is designed for all levels of riders and all-day, everyday MTB riding. Key highlights of the collection include:
• Knee & Elbow Guards – CE-1621-1 Level 1 certified, featuring a pre-curved SmartFlex pad for an ergonomic, flexible, and secure fit. Extended coverage protects critical areas, while a low-profile design minimizes bulk. Heat management is enhanced through internal pad geometry, molded vents, and breathable compression fabric. Fully machine washable.
• Ankle Guards – Featuring a new SmartFlex "pad-as-panel" design with integrated interior and exterior pads for a sleek look. The elimination of extra stitching reduces friction inside the sleeve. Ventilated holes and breathable compression mesh ensure comfort. Fully machine washable.
• Protective Shirts – New fabric-covered SmartFlex pads provide flexible, secure protection at the shoulders and ribs. A slim-fit base layer with breathable compression mesh offers a comfortable and natural fit. Inner gripper at the hem keeps the shirt in place. Fully machine washable.
• Short Liners – SmartFlex pads at the hips provide superior protection in a compression-fit base layer. Features breathable, 4-way stretch mesh panels, a double-layer crotch for privacy, integrated chamois for comfort, and dual pockets with logo tape. Interior leg grippers keep the shorts in place. Fully machine washable.
• Long-Sleeve Jerseys – Constructed with breathable, stretch fabric and UPF 50+ protection. A modern, color-blocked design with bold X4 graphics enhances style and performance. Made of 88% polyester, 12% spandex. Fully machine washable.
• Gloves – SmartFlex "pad-as-panel" design integrates seamlessly into the fabric for a sleek look. Features impact protection on the outer two knuckles and exterior-facing fingers. The breathable, compression stretch fabric ensures comfort, while a vegan suede palm with perforation enhances ventilation. Reinforced fingertips and silicone grip details provide superior control. Fully machine washable.
With the X4 Collection, G-Form is setting a new standard in MTB protection, combining innovative materials with rider-driven design. More than just safety gear, X4 is about pushing boundaries, unlocking potential, and riding with confidence.
