KNEE SLIDERS

High Performance Motorcycle Sliders: Protect Your Knees

Motorbike sliders are much more than an aesthetic accessory: they are a key component for any rider looking for performance, safety and control in extreme cornering. Whether on the track or on the road, sliders allow you to maintain controlled contact with the tarmac, facilitating knee down technique and improving rider confidence.

At BeRacing1, you will find sliders from top brands such as LighTech, RST, Oxford and our own BeRacing1 line, developed to offer the best balance between durability, feel and performance.

what are motorbike sliders and how do they work?

Sliders (also known as sliders) are parts usually made of polyurethane, technical plastic or special compounds, which are attached by Velcro to the knee pads of the motorbike suit. Their main function is to provide a point of contact between the rider's body and the tarmac when leaning into tight corners.

Benefits of using sliders:

1. Better control in tight corners.
2. Knee and suit protection.
3. Tactile feedback during leaning.
4. Quick and easy replacement.

Types of motorbike sliders

1. Polyurethane sliders: The most common material. Offers a good wear and feel ratio. Ideal for mixed street and track use.
2. Titanium sliders or sliders with metal inserts: They generate sparks when rubbing against the asphalt. Very popular on the racetrack due to their high wear resistance and striking aesthetics. Preferred by experienced riders.
3. Soft compound sliders: They have more grip at the initial touch. Very useful for riders who are starting to practise cornering techniques, as they give a greater sensation of contact with the asphalt.
