The triangular shape of the portion that actually covers your kneecap grips the ground more and will fling you forward. The smooth shape of the old model that covers your kneecaps lets you slide. The new ones might be better for ventilation, slightly, but it's overshadowed by their lack of functionality in my opinion.
yes! Thanks for communicating that better for me!
It makes a difference at 1kmh, but in reality when it happens at 50 they'll slide fine.
Safety can’t be overstated. I ride the Dualtron Storm scooter. Haven’t crashed IT, yet, but have crashed on other, less powerful scooters and my wrist guards definitely saved me. I also have knee/elbow protection but imo the wrist guards are as necessary as a full face helmet
I saw two girls riding an electric bike together. They fell and really messed up their skin. They weren't wearing head gear, nothing. The ambulance came, police, it was a huge spectacle.
The new ones seem to be more breathable with the hole pattern on the knees but may possibly make it more difficult to slide on them.
Been waiting for this review thanks man!
doesn't appear Leatt needed to do any re-design on the dual axis tbh - it's a fine product.
imo, the best part of those armored shorts is the little flaps that go a couple inches above the hip. That is a spot that always gets scraped in a crash, and just that little bit of material can save a lot of pain. Otherwise, that thin padding isn't worth much (via experience during crashes) - I've found that having hard plastic/padding combo shorts, more legit motorcycle shorts, are needed to really prevent hip damage in a substantial crash. I'll sometimes wear those thin padded shorts and hard plastic shorts over those (both under pants) for certain rides.
Leatt designs its products for motocross and downhill biking and I think that for those practices, those improvements are great and welcoming. But i'm agree with you for Euc's riders the Og version is quite better!
I use the Leatt 3.0 EXT for my knee and elbow and so far they are the best i have use, on a hard crash i don't even feel the impact... the only problem for the knee and shin one are the strap which stretch over time, my girlfriend did shorten them twice.
Getting these for sure. Thanks for the video
Thank you so much: my OG leatts I spend more time in than my helmet and I rate sooooo highly. Thank you for your contributions; you’re a legend zen the community loves u ❤
thanks Guy!
The newer knees also have a rubber pad on the inside side to facilitate grip with a bike (or euc)
You're wrong Zen
I really like the way you review the gear.
Keep up the great work 👍
I appreciate that
do the extra hole, like Marty Backe has shown in an old video. That will make the Leatts feel much more secure and less prone to slipping down over time. After you make the extra hole, skip the lowest hole and use the new hole and the old middle hole instead. Works like a charm.
Have you got a link to Marty video on that? I wouldn't mind seeing that might do the same thanks! 👍🏻
I've found this video where ElectricUnicycles adds an extra hole to prevent slippage: th-cam.com/video/jeny6BKNWWs/w-d-xo.html
@@widemelon nice one thanks for that I'll take a look! 🙌
Thank you for the video! Really like my Z-frames, protect from dislocating too (dislocated my knees for 5 times riding ski's and snowboard, never had issue with Z's). The honeycomb on new ones is most likely carbon reinforced, it looks similar as in the Z-frames (I broke one, cost me 60€ to replace and straps 55€)
Z-frames got similar "rubber" in knee cup, might be impact gel.
E. got Alpine star hard shell underpants. I have had soft versions, but surprisingly the hard shell is so much more cool over the padded ones, I rather stick with the ones making me sweat less even though they are a bit clumsy.
Thanks for sharing!
Tortoise pads shorts seem to have the best coverage and you can customize the thickness
Thanks for the excellent review, i am newish and had several shin related issues (fkn ouch) so i need more protection, you saved me £45 getting the older model so i'll buy you a beer one day. I am mid 60's and discovered you don't bounce at my age.
Hi Zen Lee!!!🙏😌
As usual, many thanks for your precious advices, because, without "minimum" security, Pleasure and Speed are nothing!👌
Have a great continuation and see you.
😉👍👍👍👌
Hi.. nice video.. what pants are those you use when riding your euc?
I had an interarticular knee fracture when I hit the lower part of the leg guard, but I hit the iron gate at high speed
oh man, hope you've healed up
@@ZenLee That was 2.5 years ago. All right
Nice channel!
@@ZenLee thank you
Hi awesome video! Whats the brand of the backpack at 9:43 ? Thanks
i toppled off the raised part of my other brand elbow pad and it rolled up my arm. So now im also concerned about raised areas on pads. I re tested and yip i topple off that raised bit.
might be a weird question, but if you wear the knee guards under your jeans, which are most comfortable to Sit down in? ( rally adv rider here, i tend to have stretches where i just sit on the bike )
I am guessing that the holes give them better traction on the surface so they probably don’t slide as well as the other ones.
What are the sizes you got for both?
I do have a New Olders helmet. I'd like to know your impressions about it!
Thanks for the video!
its lightweight, but lacks the high quality protection of a motor helmet
Good information! Also what is the chest protector with shoulder pads that you use in some of your videos?
I use the Leatt 5.5 will make video on it soon
Why don’t you use motorcycle pants. You also need abrasion resistance. Also these guards easily get of your knees during the first second of the crash.
And the knee pads in moto pants will literally slide right off to the side, same result lol
The do not get of your knees in a crash!
stop talking shit on things you don't know anything about.
@@JonahHax @tylorwithano76 I have to agree with Tylor (depending on the pants mentioned) My friend used to wear motorcycle pants while riding, and the knee cap protection slid to the side when crashes and he badly damaged his knee. They also don't cover your shin very well. If you have a good pair send me a link, I'll be interested in looking at yours, but definitely don't recommend
Just in time, I was looking to upgrade.
Hey Zen! At 12:30 … which documents did you need exactly?
Unicycle riders of the future will be paid so good it will be worth every penny we spend.
😂
Sure bloody hope so. If euc never makes me a penny it’s still sooooo fuckint worth it
Paid? How s9
@@coolhawk2003 just like gamers or Nascar drivers...there are avenues that will make euc racing on of the most beautiful sports in the world. Most riders are just beginning to get a handle of technique required for the track, and the rewards of uncovering these techniques will be powerful.
Thanks zen, I just put those leatt kneepads in my cart. I want the OG but hate the straps, I to overlap. Also want the og colors... not the current selections 😒
DO NOT OVERLAP! do the mod from Marty Backe.
@JonahHax overlap works great for me. Marty is a backyard mechanic clown.
@@dirt.surfer yes, but he didn't come up with this fix, he just made a video about it, and it works wonders. Overlap does jack shit!
tortoise pads the best for undies
Hey Zen Lee, thanks for your great content we love it,
Can you give a bit more info on the doc's you are going to print for the police and what is that name of the company that step in? AUMP?
Thanks- Yes, let me follow up on that. Right now I just have the one that says I bought the wheel before 2024. The other is just some certification from the factory, and the other will be the documents AUMP sent to the police for the rider to get his wheel back.
Thanks for your reply ZenLee, the more papers we have the better we stand against confiscations.
@@ZenLee 🤘
No dude - I reckon you were right the first time - to me it looks like the fully rounded knee caps on the OG slide smoothly, whereas the cut-outs in the new one grip the ground and tip you...
Yes, I think so
Slidability hum yip. Not to much not to little.
Thanks brother!!🙏
You bet!
Thanks for the info bro ❤
congrats on your channel! Looks like your getting close to 1k subs keep it up! Hope to see some tutorials and personal vlogs.
They don't come in leatt green which is a crime. They do seem like they'd be more ventilated for summer riding and the rubber like padding might absorb sweat less. Quite expensive thou considering.
that's a good point!
Hi. What's name of this wrist guards? Where can i buy?
they are rollerblading wrist guards, can maybe find them at a skate store
Well done Mr Zen Lee, Thank you.
My recent crash results.
Look at your wrist watch because that's the spot of my body Armour that has no Armour that rolled around my arm to my elbow.
Ouch.
Front hips, and guts hurt.
Hips cracked back in a day ago so I walk right again ha.
So I'm looking at elbow pad designs, and front hips and guts.
Wear all the gear,my crash was rider error, wheel operated correctly. I'm riding tomorrow if I can help it.
Nice ride today, see my smile.
Keep at it Will! Thanks for sharing your experiences and supporting the channel.
I posted in the EUC groups about this EXACT issue back when I first saw the new model and everyone told me I was insane and it wouldn't make any difference, esp the chick from SF...
yes, I think you're right man, thanks for your work, it's hard to be a critic, people don't like to have there new expensive gear put under the light so to speak..or there wheel lol
i love gear. be safe.
hell yeah man nice work
Those OG Leatt are the same ones I have. Any tips to stop them from sliding down your legs? It's annoying af
I'm having a seamstress shorten the straps
So Marty has a great video on a super simple mod where you drill a new hole, a bit above the existing middle strap hole, allowing the middle strap to lay on the top of your calf. I did it a couple years ago and it works.
And then Adam Wrong Way put a thin line of adhesive caulk near the edge of the knee area, on the inside like a giant "O", adding more grab.
Don’t they stick better and don’t slide down the leg as much?
yes
Good tips👍🏾
You're right, the old dual axis is more than good enough! The underwear is overpriced and you could buy something cheaper for just $40. Good video!
thanks Stealth!
I'm not a huge fan of the new ones either, my beef is with the straps, not stretchy exactly like you said.
yes! It's really annoying the straps.
@@ZenLee I added colored surgical tubing between the buckle and the strap. Now they are the most comfortable pads I have ever worn, and stay 100% in place.
i have fake leatts and they work really well for the 40 bucks they did cost
ohhh where do you get the fake ones?
@@ZenLee AliExpress as always haha
U get the wewaysteps?
@@kyles5836 brand name is "pro biker" and you find them under motorcycle gear
Oh a thing I'm pondering is slidability. How much grip per slide do I have? When I've fallen off.
Is my Armour so rock hard I skim over surface not slowing down. Or am I going to grip to hard causing a possible tumble? Is my Armour right yet.
Simply solve the mystery of the euc.
Simple enough.
Ha.
yes, I think the OG Leatts are the better option for sliding and not bouncing around
@@ZenLee dood I was freaking out you'd be disappointed in me for giving the opinions. Im sure they saved mega knees.Thanks man it's hard to have opinion and be liked ha. Being right or not might not help with making friends.
There's an android here who probably thinks that could be great comedy fodder, either that or my friend being a robot is.
Thanks again Mr Zen Lee, this makes my day.
You make my day Will, and give me hope to ride in NZ one day! I enjoy reading your opinions and I'm sure others do as well.@@WillofNewZealand
@@ZenLee yeah man, I could be up for a wheel if you down this way, post me a comment. I'm in North Island, Auckland north of. They seem to be putting more tracks in so I've yet to ride most.
My design concern is for road and forest use pads that scoop rocks, glass,wood splinters while in a kneeling position through a scoop design and combined with holes in knee so same possible issue in knee the leading edge.
My 5c opinions.
I like action and quality looks nice, i bet that company has saved many knees from foolishness, and we love it.
These are super cheaper and better . The American Football EQ
They are great knee pads but not good knee braces. The upgrade to a brace is worth it.neither of these offer torsional protection. These are a cool looking upgrade to the dual axis. Nicer profile. The upper and lower OG used to pinch my over pants
Thanks for sharing
I believe they're supposed to go under your jeans or ontop of leathers
the Leatts? I've never seen anyone wear them under before, would be interested to see how that works out.
Do you find on both versions there is enough internal foam - cloth padding between flesh and hard plastic?
Yes, a little bit more wouldn't hurt, but I've went down hard many times and have had 0 knee injuries
