A Bold Start in 1985

In 1985, two passionate individuals set out to solve a problem that many motocross riders faced serious knee injuries and a lack of effective protection. With no suitable brace on the market, they developed the AMX‑5, the industry’s first motocross‑specific knee brace. This innovation became the foundation of EVS Sports, launching a new era in rider protection.

Innovation Built from Experience

The AMX‑5 quickly gained attention for its performance and comfort. Riders across the motocross world, including some of the sport’s top names, adopted EVS gear. Their early success proved there was a real need for rider‑designed protection that worked in high‑impact, high‑speed conditions.

A Quarter Century of Progress

Over the next 25 years, EVS Sports continued to expand. What started as one innovative knee brace grew into a full line of protective gear. The brand developed neck supports, elbow and shoulder protection, impact vests, helmets and more always designed with rider comfort and mobility in mind.
