ION Launches the Arcon LT Kneepad 10

The new chapter of ION. ARCON rewrites the rules of protection, where it morphes into a second skin that moves with you, not against you. For those who want to ride fearlessly and push to their limits, not their gear’s. A sleeve comfort that keeps the focus on exploring flows, technical steeps to lung-busting climbs. For those who want to feel shielded with a Level 2, and simply look good without bulking.

THE MOST RESPONSIBLE PROTECTION RE ZRO

The ARCON Level 2 Re Zro protection pad covers a 15% larger surface compared to standard CE certified pads, including medial and lateral protection of the tibia head. At the same time, it’s everything you want for any kind of biking: lightweight and extremely well ventilated so you never get toasty using heavy duty protection again.

SHEAR THINNING LEVEL 2 PROTECTION

Re Zro® proprietary technology protects the riders through the fracture of the molecular bonds under impact, releasing energy through heat and sound, a material behaviour known as shear-thinning. The Supermolecules then recombine instantly, Re-setting to Zro.

BIODEGRADIBILITY OF RE ZRO PAD

Special ingredients are added during the manufacturing process of the Re Zro® materials to speed up the biodegradation process in a microbe rich and oxygen-depleted environment. At the end of life when a Re Zro® product is disposed of in a landfill – a microbe rich and oxygen depleted environment – microbes and fungi colonize the pad at a molecular level. They feast on the carbon of the plastic until eventually only biogas and biomass remains. This biodegradation process takes only 3 to 5 years, whereas traditional synthetic products, such as a plastic water bottle, take 400 to 500 of years.

A SUBTLE PIONEER

The sleeve construction is made from an exceptional mix of recycled Nylon, including the 4-way stretch abrasion-resistant Cordura fabric. This appliance is a first in protection pads and it offers additional durability of the fabric, without the weight of hardcap. For the ultimate fit, there are extended silicone grippers on the top and bottom to keep the sleeve construction perfectly in place throughout any ride. Additional to the industry leading Re Zro ventilation, laser venting holes give the ARCON an exceptional anti-toasty comfort, for heavy duty or long pedal rides.
