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).
