Leatt Brace - Adventure
Due to the unprecedented success of the Leatt-Brace Moto GPX Club and Sport model neck protection devices in competitive motocross and off road racing, we were determined to introduce a more affordable neck protection device for the greater motorcycle markets hence the introduction of the ADVenture Brace.
To achieve this we studied the range of movement requirements for the different types of motorcycles and the disposable income of the market attracted to these motorcycles.
The result is the new Leatt ADVenture Brace. This Brace was created for the mass-market, the fun, off-road (weekend warrior), dual-purpose, commuting and touring markets and cost has been contained by having a non-adjustable front and rear member of solid construction to contain cost.
The Leatt ADVenture Brace uses the same design integrity and biomechanical function of the Moto GPX Braces with less adjustment relating to forward and rearward movement of the helmet.
The Leatt® ADVentureTM is an injection molded 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® ADVentureTM 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® ADVentureTM 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® ADVentureTM works with most types of body armor and chest protectors. Over long distances, the Leatt® ADVentureTM will also offer some relief from neck fatigue. The Chest-Strap (for upright riding position) included with the Leatt® ADVentureTM is designed for the rider who may experience big air and flat-out whoop situations (motocross). Note: Not all riders will find the Chest-Strap necessary.
The Leatt® ADVentureTM is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. The Leatt® ADVentureTM is designed for use on all motorcycles and ATVs for competition use, recreational riding and daily commuting. 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).
The Leatt® ADVentureTM is available in following two sizes.
Small and Medium . To determine the correct size of brace for your body, please use the following rough fitment guide:
Small: 4 - 16 years old (thin build)
Medium: 16 years + (average to bigger build)
