Published:
The EVOs’ d3o padding makes them some of the comfiest pads around, which gives you plenty of freedom to keep mashing the pedals all day. Their coverage is good too. The vented rear means you don’t get hot or clammy, which is great on warm days.
The two straps keep the pads in place well, without restricting movement or causing irritation. The pricetag will certainly put a few people off though, and the d3o padding is pretty thin in places, which doesn’t inspire the confidence that some other knee pads do.

Rob Weaver is BikeRadar's technical editor-in-chief. Rob manages all of the testing here at BikeRadar and across our magazines, Mountain Biking UK and Cycling Plus. Rob first graced the pages of MBUK back in 2001 when working as a freelance writer and went on to start testing bikes for the title in 2007. In 2010 he joined the team full-time and has been keeping a close eye on all things test-related ever since. Rob’s expansive knowledge of bikes comes courtesy of his passion for racing. He cut his teeth racing cross-country mountain bikes in the early 90s before finding his feet in downhill. After many years competing on the UK national circuit (including a year attempting to race UCI DH World Cups), Rob realised his know-how and passion for bike setup, tech and writing clearly outweighed his racing ability. A degree in sports technology and decades of riding experience all help to give Rob a thorough understanding of what’s needed to create a great bike or product. While Rob’s a mountain biker at heart and never happier than when he’s sliding down a Welsh hillside, he’s more than happy to put the miles in on the road or gravel bike, too.
