EVS TP199 Lite Knee Guard Blackout Black -Large/XL - TP199LK-BKO-L/XL

The EVS TP199 Lite Knee Guard in Blackout Black — part number TP199LK-BKO-L/XL — is built for riders who need serious knee protection without the bulk. Available in a Large/X-Large sizing, this knee guard is purpose-designed for MX (motocross), BMX, and MTB (mountain bike) use, featuring a shorter overall profile derived from the legendary TP199 platform that EVS developed alongside Travis Pastrana since the mid-1990s. If you've been searching for lightweight, low-profile MX knee guards that don't compromise on impact protection, the TP199 Lite Blackout is a top-tier contender.

Key Features & Benefits

• Reactive Memory Foam (RMF) Technology: The knee cup area uses EVS's Reactive Memory Foam, which stays soft and flexible during normal riding but stiffens on impact to shield the patella — meaning you get comfort during the ride and real protection when it counts.
• Molded Bio-Foam Impact Protection: Bio-foam borders the knee cup and pairs with a polyflex shin guard to deliver increased impact resistance across both the knee and shin areas, giving you broader coverage than a knee-only pad.
• Shorter Overall Profile: The "Lite" designation means a trimmed-down silhouette compared to the full TP199 — ideal for MX, BMX, and MTB riders who want a guard that integrates cleanly under riding pants and clears boot tops without bunching.
• Circular Comfort Gel Donut (Inner Knee): A gel donut on the inner knee side helps limit migration during aggressive riding sessions, so the guard stays where you put it instead of rotating or sliding down mid-ride.
• Silicone Grippers: Strategically placed silicone grip zones keep the pad locked in position, reducing the need to stop and readjust — especially important during technical singletrack or track laps.
• Fully Breathable Air Mesh Backing: The mesh construction promotes airflow against the leg, helping manage heat and sweat during hard efforts. Temperature control is a real concern with knee guards, and EVS addresses it directly with this design.
• Integrated Floating Knee Stabilizer Sleeve: The internal compression sleeve provides consistent support and stability around the joint, functioning more like a performance brace sleeve than a simple strap system.
• CE Certified — Level 2: These guards are rated to CE EN 1621-1 Level 2, which is the higher of the two CE impact protection levels for limb protectors. This is a meaningful, independently verified standard — not just a marketing claim.
• Blackout Colorway: The all-black Blackout finish gives the guards a clean, stealthy look that works with virtually any riding kit without clashing colors.
• Travis Pastrana TP199 Heritage: The TP199 line was originally developed with and for Travis Pastrana's freestyle riding demands, then refined for general availability — so the platform behind this guard has decades of pro-level feedback baked in.

Fitment

The EVS TP199 Lite Blackout is a rider fitment product — it fits the rider, not a specific vehicle. The Large/X-Large size is intended for riders whose leg dimensions fall within the L/XL range (EVS offers a separate S/M variant for smaller riders). The shorter profile is specifically called out as ideal for motocross (MX), BMX, and mountain bike (MTB) disciplines. It is not a vehicle-specific part and has no year/make/model restrictions. When sizing, note that the S/M size is a separate SKU (TP199LK-BKO-S/M); this listing is exclusively for the L/XL size.

What's in the Box

The TP199 Lite Blackout L/XL is sold as a pair — you receive both the left and right knee guards in the Blackout finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the TP199 "Lite" different from the standard TP199 Knee Guards?

A: The TP199 Lite features a shorter overall profile than the standard TP199. Both guards share the same TP199 platform and impact-protection philosophy, but the Lite version is trimmed down in length — making it particularly well-suited for MX, BMX, and MTB riders who want a lower-profile guard that fits cleanly under pants and around boots.

Q: Are these CE certified, and what does that mean?

A: Yes — the TP199 Lite Blackout is CE certified to EN 1621-1 Level 2, the higher of the two CE impact protection levels for limb protectors. CE certification is an independently tested and verified standard, giving you documented confidence in the guard's impact performance.

Q: Does this listing include one knee guard or a pair?

A: This listing covers a pair — both left and right knee guards in Large/X-Large Blackout. If you need the S/M size, that is a separate SKU.

Q: How does the guard stay in place during aggressive riding?

A: EVS uses a combination of strategically placed silicone grippers and a circular comfort gel donut on the inner knee to resist migration. The integrated internal floating knee stabilizer sleeve also helps maintain consistent positioning, so the guard doesn't slide or rotate during technical riding.
