Motorcycle Off-Road Body Armor Apparel Description
|
The Leatt-Brace™ is an injection produced glass
reinforced nylon neck brace system designed by
medical professionals and motorcycle enthusiasts to
help prevent:
. Hyperflexion: extreme forward head movement
. Hyperextension: extreme rearward head movement
. Lateral Hyperflexion: extreme sideways head
movement
. Axial loading: compression of the spinal column
due to the effect of force on the helmet
. Posterior hypertranslation: rearward movement of
the head/helmet on the neck
There is currently no other neck protection system
available for motorcyclists that can effectively
help prevent all of the above potential injuries.
The design rationale behind the Leatt-Brace™ is to
bring the head to a controlled stop. This is
achieved by providing a padded rigid structure that
acts as an alternate load path for neck forces.
Helmet impacts otherwise transmitted from the helmet
to skull and then to the neck are re-directed from
the helmet to the brace to other body structures in
a safe way.
The design of the Leatt-Brace™ prevents the
helmet/head from projecting over the brace and
therefore prevents a fulcrum action, which has been
documented in literature pertaining to the use of
collar devices. The Leatt-Brace™ MOTO GPX works with
most types of body armor and chest protectors. It is
also suitable for use by Superbike riders. Over long
distances, the Leatt-Brace™ will also offer some
relief from neck fatigue. Only leathers with a hump
require minor modification.
The X-Strap (for upright riding position) and
GP-Strap (for Superbike leathers with a hump),
included with the MOTO GPX, are designed for the
extreme rider who may experience 'float' at high
speed (Superbike) or in a big air and flat-out whoop
situations (motocross). Note: Not all riders will
find the X-Strap and the GP-Strap necessary.
The Leatt-Brace™ MOTO GPX is compatible with all
motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders
an adequate range of movement. The Leatt-Brace™ MOTO
GPX is designed for use on all motorcycles and ATVs
for competition use, recreational riding and daily
commuting. The Leatt-Brace™ has been tested by BMW
Munich, KTM Works Riders, the SABS (South African
Bureau of Standards). It is also endorsed by MSA (Motorsport
South Africa).
