SixSixOne DBO Knee Pad
Vital Review
Overall Review
15years ago, a certain 17 year old kid made Rampage history, and his protection sponsor would soon leave its mark on the mountain bike world as well. I’m talking about Kyle Strait and 661 of course – everybody remembers that suicide no hander, and I’m pretty sure everybody has owned a pair of 661 Kyle Strait kneepads as well at some point. Fast forward to 2019, and Kyle is still throwing those suis off massive cliffs, and 661 is still making protection.

Overall Review
Back in the day, 661 was pretty much synonymous with sending it. Saying that they revolutionized the knee protection game with the original Kyle Strait pad is not much of a stretch, seeing just how popular that product and (often-copied) design became. As for helmets, 661 made quite a few models that followed the company ethos of making good protection affordable for all, and while they didn’t enjoy the same level of planetary success as the kneepads, they could still be spotted in many a lift line as well. Over the last couple of years, 661 had fallen off the radar a bit, but now under new...
