The Leatt Brace is an injection-produced neck-brace system designed by medical professionals and motorcycle enthusiasts.
The Leatt Brace has been tested by BMW Munich, KTM Works Riders, and the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), and is endorsed by Motorsport South Africa (MSA).
Injury Prevention
Normally, helmet impacts are transmitted to the skull and down the neck. With the Leatt Brace, the impact force is redirected to the brace and to other body structures, safely dissipating the energy.
The Leatt-Brace is currently the only neck-protection system available for motorcyclists that can effectively help prevent all of the following potential injuries:
- 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
Features and Benefits
