Royal Enfield and Knox, experts and innovators of protective apparel and body armour, have collaborated to co-create a range of high protection, accessible riding gear, and CE certified external knee-guard called Conqueror. The launch is part of the long-term collaboration in line with Royal Enfield’s commitment to provide protection, comfort and aesthetically designed riding gear and accessories.
Crafted with a vision of offering versatile yet accessible riding gear that meets global safety norms that can be used for multiple riding needs and in varied conditions.
Royal Enfield and Knox got into a strategic partnership 2 years back to offer Knox’s body armors in their new range of riding gear including categories like riding jackets, gloves and riding trousers. Extending this partnership further the two brands have now collaborated to co-create and offer CE certified level 2 external knee guard built with Knox’s microlock protection.
Royal Enfield’s new riding jacket line-up that was introduced last year includes select styles that come equipped with Knox’s CE Level 1 Flexiform and CE Level 2 MICRO-LOCK armours for shoulder and elbow. Along with the knee guard, Royal Enfield has also introduced a range of new riding gloves for varied riding needs. The range has 14 gloves of which 9 are CE certified. The range has been developed with best-in-class features such as knuckle protection, palm protection, padding, cuff adjusters, screen friendly finger tips, accordion stretch panels, and constructed with high quality abrasion resistance leather, Polyester Air mesh and waterproof membrane among others. The new range of gloves will suit the varied needs of the riders, from riding in the city to extreme weather conditions. Further, selective gloves also come with Knox knuckle protectors and Knox scaphoid protection system.
The newly launched Conqueror knee guard, riding jackets, gloves and riding trousers with Knox armours are available for sale at Royal Enfield dealerships, Royal Enfield’s online store (store.royalenfield.com), Amazon and select central and shoppers stop outlets.
With the brand’s collective endeavour to enhance rider safety, the knee guard will offer ample protection and improve the riding experience on daily, short as well as long rides by providing riders the flexibility of wearing it over any regular bottom-wear. This should encourage more riders in India to take notice of other important aspects of safety beyond just wearing a helmet when on the saddle. The Knee guard has undergone thorough testing and has passed CE Impact testing EN 1621-1 Level 2. Designed to protect the riders from leg injuries, the knee guard is made in one piece without any joints allowing for flexible ergonomic design, a secure fit. Special emphasis has been put on keeping the knee guard light. With antibacterial lining, the gear gives extensive perforations for breathability. Keeping in mind the need for superior impact absorption, the outer shell is made of durable low density polyethylene (LDPE) designed in a hexagonal structure. As a market first, Royal Enfield is offering the knee guards with adjustable tough elasticated velcro straps for closure. The knee guard has been co-designed by both the brands and engineered in the UK by British protective apparel specialists at KNOX.
