Alpinestars GP Knee Sliders

By Jermaine from North salt lake, UT

Pros: They look great, fit great and provide awesome feel when grinding through corners... smooth as butter.

Cons: All gone in one trackday. My previous pair of A-stars pucks I was able to keep for five full trackdays. Maybe these are a little too soft? Or maybe I should grind less? Still love 'em, though.

Pros: Feedback from these pucks is very good. Logo and other aesthetic details are somewhat a waste with pucks suck as these as they are made of a VERY soft compound. The Astars logo didn't last beyond my first session. The pucks are of a similar thickness to shift, chicken hawks, etc. Compared to the Astars sport sliders they are slightly more solid. The sport sliders seem to have a honeycomb structure that becomes visible as the slider ends its life; I didn't notice this with the gp type.

Cons: The thickness is good but seriously required. I was pretty surprised at how quickly these sliders wore out. Seems like the wear when you cough on them. I got 1 sunday at Rd A out the right puck and about half of the is gone left. Fairly poor if you consider the amount of money these run. Feedback from them is good as i said but the rate at which these sliders wear out is incredibly fast. They came free with my suit and that is the only way that I would take any of the 2 Astars pucks offered.. Free.! I appreciate that alot of people enjoy having Astar stuff and generally they quality is good but your really wasting money on these as the chicken hawks soft are a much better alternative. It's a shame that they don't sell a hard compound slider like the ones you see most the moto gp paddock and wsbk sporting.

Comments: Don't waste your money on them if your looking to replace the stockers. Unless you want to pay for new sliders the day after to roll on them.

Pros: Thick

Cons: - Price - I don't know, maybe it was just my leathers (Alpinestars TZ1), but these sliders didn't stick well at all. Everytime I bent my knee to sit down or got on my bike, I can see the velcro start to separate. I had to keep pushing them against my knees so they wouldn't come off. One ended up coming off at the track the first day I used them. Saw it as I passed the corner on the next lap. Now I got a nice scrape on knee from dragging it without a slider.
