Youth motocross pants keep young riders covered through every trail day, practice lap and weekend race. This range from Thor and Shot uses hard-wearing textile, stretch panels at the knees and reinforced seat areas so kids can stand, pivot and tuck behind the bars without the fabric giving out.

How to choose youth off-road pants
Off-road pants are a system that pairs with knee guards, not a standalone armour layer. Motocross pants from Thor and Shot are cut wide through the knee to clear a hard knee brace or soft knee guard underneath, and they use textile panels designed to shed dirt and survive low-speed slides on hardpack and gravel. Measure your rider at the waist and against their current riding boots before sizing.

| Knee panel | Stretch zone for brace clearance | Pre-curved articulated knee |
| Closure | Ratchet plus hook-and-loop waist | Adjustable waist tab |
| Best for | MX track and trail | Entry trail and practice |
Sizing and fit guidance
Buy to the rider's current waist, not 2 sizes up. A youth pant that is too long bunches at the boot and catches on the footpeg. Most youth ranges run from size 18 through 28 in 2-size steps, and the waist should sit 3 to 5 cm above the hip with the closure half-fastened so there is room over a knee brace. Pair these pants with a kids jersey and dedicated knee guards rated to CE Level 1 minimum for the knee, since off-road pants alone carry no EN 17092 abrasion rating. For full-speed road use choose certified road pants instead. Off-road textile is built for dirt impact and abrasion at lower speeds, not 100 km/h tarmac slides.
Frequently asked questions
Do kids off-road pants come with armour built in?
No. Youth motocross pants from Thor and Shot are a textile outer layer designed for dirt riding. Pair them with separate knee guards rated to CE Level 1 minimum, since the pants themselves do not carry an EN 17092 abrasion rating.
How do I size youth motocross pants for my child?
Measure your rider at the waist and buy to their current size rather than going 2 sizes up. The waist should sit 3 to 5 cm above the hip with the closure half-fastened, leaving room for a knee brace or guard underneath.
Can my child wear these pants on the road?
No. Off-road textile is built for lower-speed dirt impact and abrasion, not high-speed tarmac. For road riding choose certified road pants that carry an EN 17092 rating.
