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(R) 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(R) 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(R) 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(R) 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(R) MOTO GPX is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and
our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. The Leatt-Brace(R)
MOTO GPX is designed for use on all motorcycles and ATVs for competition use,
recreational riding and daily commuting. Leatt-Brace(R) 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).
