Over the years, Nock handguards have become the preferred choice of mountain bike enduro racers, whether at the highest level of competition with the UCI EDR or in local races. This trust drives us to constantly push back the boundaries of reliability along 2 axes: functional reliability, i.e. the ability to provide better hand protection in all situations, from vegetation to tree collisions and falls, and mechanical reliability, i.e. the ability to withstand without breaking all the shocks inherent in high-level enduro riding.

For the V3 version, this quest for reliability resulted in simplification and optimization because, as Italian sculptor Constantin Brancusi quotes, “simplicity is complexity solved” and that is the philosophy behind the Nock V3. We’ve simplified the connection between the shield and the bracket, while making it significantly stiffer.

But this simplification, however, hasn’t come at the expense of ergonomics. Very compact, the Nock V3 are discreet on the bike. Their direct grip mounting system ensures optimal cockpit integration, particularly useful for e-bikes. Even without any extender, the Nock V3 offer as much space for large hands and long levers as the Nock V2 with the extended flip-chip mount.

Simple yet highly effective, race-readythat’s how the Nock V3 were designed. With a full hand coverage, a controlled flex of the guard and an exclusive patch inside the guard that absorbs the impact energy instead of your hand, the Nock handguards have earned a solid reputation in all enduro races thanks to the exclusive system of protecting the hands against hard impacts such as trees or rocks.
