Knuckle guard Rival Intelli-Shock

A knuckle guard contributes to an extra layer of cushioning from the impact created during punching. This also helps protect the knuckles, metacarpal bones, wrists, and elbows from injuries more effectively.

A knuckle guard is therefore highly suitable for providing extra protection to your knuckles during intense punching and boxing.

Neoprene is a synthetic rubber material.

It is widely used because it is a versatile, safe, and durable material. Neoprene was originally developed to replace rubber and therefore has the same positive properties: flexible and sturdy at the same time.

Neoprene is used in many products such as gaskets, wetsuits, laptop sleeves. In the martial arts world, among other applications, it is used in knuckle guards, gelwraps, elbow pads, and knee pads.

Intelli-Shock D3O™ is the best shock-absorbing padding in the world.

Rival Boxing Gear was the first, and is currently the only, company in the boxing or MMA world to use it.

How effective is Intelli-Shock? You get the same protection with about a quarter inch (6 mm) or an eighth inch (3 mm) of Intelli-Shock padding as with about one inch (25 mm) of other padding. This is because it uses Intelligent Shock Absorption™, a patented shock-absorbing material developed with Intelligent Molecules.

At low speeds, the molecules in D3O™ flow freely, making it soft and flexible, while at high speeds the molecules lock together to form an excellent shock absorber. D3O™ provides significantly more protection than conventional foams, making it the perfect solution to enhance the internal protection of equipment and accessories.

The Rival RB10 Intelli-shock bag gloves, which use this technology, harden on impact and reduce not only the amount of energy transferred to the body by 40%*. This means there is a drastic reduction in stress upon impact, but the glove is also about 38% lighter than regular bag gloves with gel technology available on the market.

D3O® is an innovative material with extreme shock absorption! Unlike other padding materials, D3O® maintains its durable performance throughout the lifespan of, for example, boxing gloves. It is also used in protective clothing for defense and extreme sports, such as ice hockey.
