ION Bike

About ION Bike

ION Bike is the mountain biking division of ION, the German outdoor brand known for premium water sports equipment. ION entered the mountain bike market with the same philosophy that built their water sports reputation — technical products designed by riders, manufactured to the highest safety standards, and backed by real-world testing on trails across Europe.

ION Bike focuses on protection and riding apparel for trail, enduro, and downhill mountain biking. Their helmets, pads, and body armour are CE-certified and tested beyond minimum requirements, while their riding clothing combines MTB-specific features with materials that withstand the demands of aggressive riding.

The ION Bike Range

ION Bike helmets include the Traze series for trail riding — lightweight, well-ventilated, with MIPS liner technology for rotational impact protection. The Scrub full-face helmet targets enduro and downhill riders who need maximum coverage without excessive weight. Knee pads range from lightweight sleeve-style trail pads to heavy-duty D3O-equipped enduro protection. Back protectors use multi-layer foam construction with ventilation channels for all-day comfort.

ION's riding apparel includes trail shorts, jerseys, gloves, and rain jackets designed for freedom of movement on the bike while protecting against UV, abrasion, and weather.

Why Buy ION Bike at Surf Store

Surf Store carries the ION Bike protection range for riders who enjoy both water sports and mountain biking. Our team can advise on sizing and protection levels for your riding style — whether you need lightweight trail pads for cross-country or full enduro armour for bike park sessions.

Expert Advice

Protection fit is critical. Knee pads should stay in place during pedalling without restricting movement. We recommend trying pads while seated in a cycling position — they should grip above and below the knee without sliding.

Q: Are ION Bike helmets MIPS certified?
A: Selected ION helmets include MIPS or equivalent rotational protection systems. Check individual model specifications.

Q: What knee pads for trail riding?

Q: Does Surf Store carry ION Bike clothing?
A: Yes — we stock ION trail shorts, jerseys, gloves, and outerwear alongside the protection range.
