Demon Flex-Force X D3O-XRD V6 Men's Shorts

Demon Flexforce X D3O/XRD V6 Men’s Shorts (2026)

Ride harder, land softer. The brand-new V6 2026 delivers targeted impact protection for hips, thighs, and tailbone with the proven D3O system and the latest XRD technology. Lightweight, breathable, and designed for all-day mobility — first in the EU in stock.

• D3O + XRD: flexible in motion, firm on impact.
• Targeted coverage: hips, thighs, tailbone, and seat.
• Breathable mesh & lycra: ventilation for long sessions.
• Athletic fit: stable pads for spins, butters, and jumps.

Why the V6 2026 stands out

Every fall is different — park, piste, or backcountry. The V6 Men’s Shorts combine advanced impact management with total freedom of movement, so you can ride with more confidence and less fear of hard knocks. Strategically placed padding moves with you and stays in place run after run.

Impact protection that moves with you

D3O: smart impact response

D3O is a non-Newtonian material that remains soft and flexible until an impact occurs, when it stiffens instantly to absorb energy. This means you won’t feel restricted while riding, yet you’ll have serious protection when things go wrong.

The new XRD layer: force dispersion

The XRD layer works to spread remaining forces across a wider surface area, reducing peak pressure. This helps make landings more forgiving and limits deep bruising from hard hits, whether on icy hardpack or during low-speed slips.

Coverage zones

• Hips & outer thighs — shields against side impacts on rails, boxes, or aggressive carving.
• Tailbone — reinforced panel for backward falls or steep run slip-outs.
• Seat — cushioning during lift rides and low-speed tumbles.

Comfort, ventilation & layering

Open mesh allows heat and moisture to escape, while stretch lycra molds to your body for a secure yet unrestrictive fit. Flatlock seams reduce chafing, and the soft waistband stays comfortable over long sessions. Wear it under technical snowboard pants, ski pants, or even lighter shell layers in spring.

Fit & sizing advice

• Athletic fit: close to the body without pinching. Between sizes? Size up for extra layering space.
• Padding remains stable during spins, presses, and landings — no shifting mid-run.
• X-Connect compatible: links to compatible Demon tops for continuous coverage from lower back to hips.

Ideal for multiple riding styles

• Snowpark — confidence boost for jumps, spins, and learning new tricks.
• Piste — added margin on icy slopes and at higher speeds.
• Freeride — impact protection from hidden rocks, tree stumps, or variable snow conditions.
• Beginner riders — reduces soreness and fear of falling while learning core skills.

Technical specifications

• Materials: breathable mesh, stretch lycra, integrated D3O and XRD pads.
• Lightweight build for minimal bulk under outerwear.
• Removable padding for easy washing and maintenance.
• Elastic waistband for a secure hold during movement.

Extra rider tips

For colder days, layer these shorts over a thin thermal base layer for warmth without losing mobility. In warmer spring sessions, wearing them directly against the skin maximizes ventilation and keeps you cooler on long hikes or park laps.

Many riders also pair the V6 with Demon’s protective tops via X-Connect for complete spine-to-hip coverage — a smart choice for big mountain days or rail-heavy park riding.

Care & longevity

Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent to preserve the materials and performance. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying, as these can degrade the padding’s properties. Store the shorts flat or hanging to keep the pads in shape. With proper care, these shorts will remain a reliable part of your gear kit for multiple seasons.
