Bike riders are more prone to knee injuries. Apart from injuries, there are possibilities of putting strain and pressure on the knees while riding. Most knee injuries in motorcyclists occur at Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL).
By wearing a knee protector while riding not only protects the knees but also provides support and protection to a rider, minimising chances of getting the knee hurt. A knee guard or knee protector is as important to a daily commuter as it is to a professional racer.

Knee protectors are designed to withstand external impacts and are comfortable to wear.
