Motorcycle Elbow Guards and Hand Protection

Elbows and hands hit the ground first in nearly every crash. Rogue Powersports stocks soft and hard-shell elbow guards, knuckle protectors, palm sliders, and combination arm-and-hand protection for street and off-road riders.

Elbow and Hand Protection Categories

  • Soft and Hard-Shell Elbow Guards: Strap-on elbow guards from Alpinestars, Fly Racing, and Thor with foam backers and TPU outer shells. Slip under or over a jersey for off-road riding, or strap on under a casual long sleeve for street use.
  • CE Level 2 Insert Pads: Elbow insert pads from Alpinestars and REV'IT that slot into riding jacket pockets to upgrade from foam to true CE Level 2 protection. The cheapest way to dramatically improve a budget jacket.
  • Knuckle Guards and Hand Protectors: Hard-shell knuckle guards from Fly Racing, Thor, and Acerbis that mount to handlebars to protect hands from brush, branches, and brake-lever impacts in tight trail riding.
  • Bar-Mounted Hand Guards: Adventure and dual-sport handguards from Acerbis, Cycra, and Barkbusters with aluminum reinforcement that protect both your hands and your levers in a tip-over.
  • Sizing and Compatibility: Elbow guards measure from mid-bicep to mid-forearm. Hand guards must match your handlebar diameter and grip clearance. Check each product page for fitment notes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need separate elbow protection?

If your jacket has CE-rated elbow armor, you're covered. Standalone elbow protection (Forcefield, Alpinestars Bionic) is needed if you ride in armored shirts only or want Level 2 upgrade over Level 1 jacket armor.

Hand protection vs. gloves — what's the difference?

Gloves protect palms and fingers in slides. 'Hand protection' typically refers to additional impact armor (knuckle protection, hand sliders for track use) integrated into premium gloves.

How do I size motorcycle elbow armor?

Measure forearm circumference. Compare to the brand's chart. Should sit centered on the elbow with impact zone slightly forward (where elbow contacts ground in falls). Should not slip off when arm extends.

Are CE Level 2 elbow guards necessary?

Recommended for serious riders — Level 2 absorbs notably more impact than Level 1. The cost difference is small. Most premium jackets ship with Level 1 by default; upgrading to Level 2 standalone or replacement is worthwhile.

Can I install replacement armor in my existing jacket?

Most riding jackets have armor pockets that accept aftermarket armor. Match dimensions and shape to existing pockets — Forcefield, D3O, and Alpinestars all sell direct-replacement armor in standard sizes.
