The Chromag Shift Knee Pad delivers certified Level 2 protection in a low-profile design built for real trail riding. Comfortable enough for long climbs and secure enough for technical descents, it’s protection you can leave on all day.

A next-generation RHEON™ insert remains flexible as you move, then stiffens instantly on impact. Shaped to contour naturally around the knee, it increases coverage while maximizing airflow to reduce heat and weight. The result is a pad that feels light and free-moving without sacrificing protection.

The performance sleeve uses durable, stretch fabric for a close, breathable fit, supported by a contoured internal bracing layer that helps keep the pad in position. Up top, a wide silicone-impregnated cuff with segmented vertical grip lines replaces traditional solid silicone bands. By spreading traction over a larger area, it holds securely without constricting, improves moisture movement, and allows the pad to stretch naturally with the leg.

Designed for long rides, variable terrain, and riders who value comfort as much as protection, the Shift balances mobility, security, and impact performance with intent.

Engineered with RHEON™ Technology

RHEON™ is an energy-absorbing super polymer. Born out of NASA & developed for over 15 years at Imperial College, London – regarded as one of the leading institutes of innovation in the world.

☛ RHEON™ is soft and flexible in its natural state, it stiffens dynamically when subjected to force.

☛ This dynamic quality allows it to absorb slight knocks and bumps, stiffening up to react to higher-energy impacts in the event of a collision.

☛ Lightweight - Weighing in from only 40g. Made to feel invisible, allowing for unrestricted movement while riding.

☛ Breathable - Air flows freely through our unique cell design, allowing heat to dissipate for a more comfortable ride.

☛ Flexible - Our dynamic, reactive material moves with you, giving impact protection where and when it’s needed.

☛ Built for real rides - We perform 1000's of impact tests to deliver a product that far exceeds testing standards.

Shift FAQ's

Yup. Both the RHEON insert and garment itself are fine to throw in the washing machine.

Best to machine wash cold, and avoid the dryer completely.

Due to the nature of the materials, they dry pretty quickly when hung to dry.

The Shift has been
rigorously tested to not only pass, but exceed CE certifications, not to mention additional testing by RHEON labs.

Shift Knee exceeds EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2 impact certification.

Shift Elbow exceeds EN 1621-1:2012 Level 1 impact certification.

Yes actually! We've found folding over the stretchy top band, so that the grip strips face out really helps getting the pads off. It even prolongs the life of the pads, as you don't have to wrestle with them to get them off.
