The G-Form Pro-X3 Street Art Knee Guards combine flexible SmartFlex™ impact protection with a standout graffiti style, keeping skate, BMX, and MTB riders safe and comfortable all day.
The G-Form Pro-X3 Street Art Knee Guards bring a vibrant, custom aesthetic to the trail and skatepark without sacrificing any of the cutting-edge safety features that G-Form is famous for. Perfect for everyone from skatepark beginners to veteran trail riders, these lightweight guards ditch the bulky, restrictive plastic shells of traditional armour in favour of a streamlined, second-skin fit. Featuring a bold, multi-coloured graffiti graphic across the protective face, they let you express your individual style while keeping your knees fully shielded from hard falls and tarmac abrasions.
At the core of these knee guards is G-Form’s industry-leading SmartFlex™ technology. This rate-dependent, body-mapped padding remains completely soft and flexible while you are pedalling, pumping, or pushing, contouring seamlessly to the natural bend of your joint. However, the moment you experience a sudden impact or crash, the molecules instantly lock together to harden and absorb up to 90% of the crash energy before returning back to their flexible state. Beneath the outer protective layer sits a ventilated, soft foam inner liner that maximises airflow directly to your skin, preventing excessive heat buildup during intense sessions.
Constructed using a high-grade compression sleeve, the Pro-X3 guards use integrated silicone grippers at both the top and bottom hems to ensure they stay firmly locked in place without slipping down your calves. The main body fabric is engineered from a premium moisture-wicking blend that features UPF 50+ sun protection to shield you from the harsh Australian sun. Best of all, the entire guard is completely waterproof and machine washable, allowing you to easily toss them in the laundry after a muddy trail loop or a hot day at the local concrete bowl.

Dual-Layer Construction: Combines the hard-hardening SmartFlex™ exterior with a plush, ventilated inner foam layer for maximum breathability.

✅ Why This IS For You
Hate Bulky Hard-Plastic Pads: Perfect if you want reliable knee protection but absolutely despise the rigid, restrictive feel of heavy plastic hardshell armour.
Pedal and Move Constantly: Ideal for trail riding, BMXing, or skateboarding where you need your legs to bend smoothly without chafing or binding.
Love Standout Custom Aesthetics: The graphic graffiti finish is perfect if you are tired of plain black protective gear and want to inject some colour into your kit.
Value Effortless Maintenance: Excellent for riders who want to avoid hand-washing funky gear; just pull them off and throw them in the washing machine.
Ride in Hot Australian Weather: A great option for summer sessions thanks to the breathable, moisture-wicking sleeve fabric and ventilated foam inner layer.
❌ Why This May NOT Be For You
Riding High-Speed Downhill/DH: For aggressive downhill racing or rocky alpine bike parks, you will want heavy-duty, hardshell knee protection built for massive rock strikes.
Prefer a Discrete, Stealth Look: If you prefer your safety gear to blend in subtly under your riding pants, the bright graffiti styling might be too loud for your taste.
Dislike Tight Compression Sleeves: Because they rely on a close compression fit to stay put rather than bulky Velcro straps, some riders may find the initial sleeve feel restrictive.
BFC PRO TIP
Because G-Form compression sleeves use a secure, second-skin fit to keep the SmartFlex™ pads perfectly aligned with your kneecap, they can occasionally feel slightly tight right out of the box. Don’t panic and swap to a larger size immediately! Wear them around the house for 20 to 30 minutes or go for a quick warm-up pedal. The warmth of your body will naturally soften the SmartFlex™ material and relax the elastic fibres of the sleeve, letting the guard mold beautifully to the unique shape of your leg for a custom, zero-slip fit!
