Out With the Old, In With the New!

Hello Derby World! 

We are helmet deep in all things derby and this blog is no exception! We are going to give you all the details on our updated 2.0 Atom Gear and the brand new Snap wheel. We will also tell you the best way to keep up-to-date with us so you can get to know all that Nistevo (Atom Wheels, Luigino USA, Bionic Bearings, and Atom Gear) has to offer.

Updated Product

-Atom Gear-

The Elite 2.0-Knee fit snug and contour more to the knee, better than the 1.0’s, making it more comfortable to fall and move in. Though the sizing has generally stayed the same, there will be little to no slipping because of the silicone band all the way around the top and bottom of the pad openings. The biggest improvements are definitely in the fit of the kneepad around the knee itself and the addition of the plastic shell on the outside of the pad.

The Elite 2.0-Elbow is updated with straps that go all the way around the pad, effectively eliminating the ripping that was happening with the 1.0’s. They too have the silicone band all the way around the openings making them stay in place.

We’ve made a slight change to the Palm Guard. The wrist strap is slightly longer so big hands have the option of squeezing into smaller pads and still be able to secure the strap. 

Here is a current Atom Gear sizing chart including adult and kids sizes:

The Snap Wheel is a great option if you like the Poison but want more roll. The Snap is an excellent training wheel, with the same urethane as the Poison, you can push them day in and day out and then, put your good wheels on a week or two before a bout and have them fresh and ready to go. They are available in black, blue, lime green, pink, and yellow.
