DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered for the demands of track riding, the Dainese Pista Knee Sliders in blue are built from high-density thermoplastic polyurethane — a material chosen for its exceptional wear resistance, consistent friction characteristics, and the kind of tactile feedback that lets you judge lean angle with precision. Whether you are a club-day regular or a seasoned circuit racer, these sliders deliver the confidence to commit to the apex.
Key Features
- High-density thermoplastic polyurethane construction provides outstanding durability and even wear across the full surface area
- Optimised contact face maximises ground contact during lean, giving a smooth, predictable glide rather than a harsh bite
- Dynamic profile is shaped to follow the natural curve of the knee, ensuring the slider meets the tarmac at the correct angle every time
- Strong hook-and-loop Velcro fastening holds the slider securely to your leather suit even under the lateral forces of aggressive cornering
- Suitable for both club-level riders and competitive racers who want reliable, repeatable performance lap after lap
Build Quality and Materials
The Pista slider's defining quality is the grade of thermoplastic polyurethane used in its construction. Harder compounds wear quickly and give little feedback; overly soft compounds grip unpredictably. Dainese's formulation sits in the precise middle ground — dense enough to last through multiple track days, yet calibrated to slide progressively so you always know exactly where the limit is. The moulded surface geometry is not an afterthought; it is shaped to distribute pressure evenly, avoiding the flat spots and edge catching that plague cheaper sliders.
Performance on Track
Consistent friction control is the measure of a quality knee slider, and the Pista delivers it session after session. The optimised surface area means you are feeding information back through the knee rather than simply scraping rubber across the road. Paired with the secure Velcro attachment, there is no movement or lift at speed — the slider stays exactly where it should be, so your focus stays on the riding.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Dainese Pista Knee Sliders are designed to attach to Dainese leather race suits and any compatible suit featuring a standard hook-and-loop knee slider pad. Check that your suit's knee pad area uses the hook-and-loop system before ordering. These sliders are equally well suited to hobby riders enjoying track days and experienced racers seeking a dependable, long-lasting replacement slider.
