Just curious what offers the best protection from the Roach line up the Indy DH, Rally DH or Rally FR?
Thanks.
Thanks.
They are all pretty much the same....I used to have the original Roach pads....the old style I think they are now the Indy pads. They were great...but the new Rally pads are the ****!enduroprorider said:Just curious what offers the best protection from the Roach line up the Indy DH, Rally DH or Rally FR?

Ummmm, no they're not the same. The Indys are PE plastic inserts sewn into a cordura nylon sleeve, with thermo-moulded inner padding. The DH and FR pads have a hard plastic exteriors shell, with thermo-moulded inner padding and straps around the back.menachite said:They are all pretty much the same...

Although the DH and FR versions look similar, the DH version has thicker padding on the inside, they're stiffer, and they have a mesh backing. The FR version doesn't have any of that.
Check out a review of the Rally DH pads (the Roach and Race Face are the same) here - http://www.nsmb.com/gear/raceface_armour_09_04.php
DH version is better but FR is lighter and has great protection. I love mine (fr) and would buy them again even at full price.enduroprorider said:Just curious what offers the best protection from the Roach line up the Indy DH, Rally DH or Rally FR?

I have only used the rally Dh.....they are very nice. the only difference between the rally DH and Fr is the DH has mesh around the back to protect you as the FR has no mesh.enduroprorider said:Just curious what offers the best protection from the Roach line up the Indy DH, Rally DH or Rally FR?
