When ordering armrests, the padding is included and included in the delivery. The padding does not need to be purchased separately!

For very active athletes, we recommend replacing the padding every two seasons for optimal comfort. To do so, simply provide the original order number or name when ordering.

TRI-C is breaking new ground when it comes to padding. Instead of using simple foam with a thin polyester cover or rubber padding, we use a special combination of padding materials. Annoying problems such as excessive sweating, heat build-up, sticking, slipping and chafing are now a thing of the past.

We use perforated Alcantara as the upper material. The microfiber material is very pleasant on the skin and also very durable and abrasion-resistant. The material allows all liquids to pass through and does not stick to the skin even when it comes into contact with energy drinks. The padding is attached with a high-quality and durable Velcro fastener.

Three pads are supplied per arm shell: one for each side wall and a stronger pad for the underside. The first pad layer is a very light and breathable material that allows for optimal air circulation and fluid transport. This prevents heat build-up in warm temperatures. Only this first padding layer is used on the side walls. For better cushioning, the padding on the underside is supplemented by a denser EPDM foam. This absorbs the weight of the athlete and prevents the pad from sagging on very long rides. Even on poor roads, bumps can be cushioned and comfort guaranteed. The thickness of the padding is adjusted to your weight. This allows optimal cushioning properties to be achieved without adding unnecessary weight. The pad can be rinsed off after intensive use when cleaning the bike. We recommend a light hand wash in soapy water at regular intervals. We do not use any adhesives during processing and sew the padding. This ensures a very long service life. If you decide to order a new cushion after a few years, you can simply do so using the order number that is noted in your armrest. We have saved the measurements underneath.
