2024 KTM AX9 Cheek Pads

KTM branding. Designed for KTM riders who demand the best.

Cheek pads are the padded liners located on the inside sides of the helmet around your cheeks and jaw. They are part of the comfort and fit system inside the KTM AX9 adventure helmet, helping to secure the helmet snugly to your head and reduce movement while riding. The AX9’s interior (including the cheek pads) is removable, washable, and moisture-wicking for comfort and hygiene.

🔍 Purpose & Function

• Comfort: Provide soft cushioning around your cheeks and jaw to make long rides more comfortable.

• Fit & Stability: Press gently against your face, helping keep the helmet stable and properly aligned — especially important during acceleration, braking, and cornering.

• Moisture Management: Designed to wick sweat away from your skin to help control moisture and odor.

• Replaceable: Over time cheek pads can compress or wear out; these replacement pads restore fit and comfort or adjust fit if you change helmet size.

🧵 Features

• OEM fit: Made to match the original interior of the KTM AX9 helmet (made for AGV shells) so they click in securely.

• Available in sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, etc., to fine-tune fit for different face shapes and helmet sizes.

• High-quality padding: Usually foam with moisture-wicking fabric — soft but supportive.

• Easy installation: Simply remove the old pads and snap the new ones into place.

🧠 Why They Matter

Cheek pads are crucial not only for comfort but also for safety — a properly fitting helmet (including correct cheek pad thickness) reduces unwanted helmet movement and helps maintain the helmet’s protective positioning during an impact. Adjusting or replacing cheek pads is a common way riders tweak fit without buying a whole new helmet.
