Leatt DBX Ride Neck Brace
The DBX Ride is our entry-level bicycle-specific brace. The DBX Ride features
limited adjustability and is permanently set to the medium position.
The Leatt-Brace® neck brace is a revolutionary system designed to help protect
a rider against various forces on the neck during impact, including the over-bending
of the head and neck in a forward, backward and sideways direction by employing
patented Alternative Load Path Technology™. This technology helps disperse impact
forces away from critical areas onto less vulnerable areas of the body and is pivotal
to the design of the Leatt-Brace®.
Other key features:
• The DBX Ride features a low-profile shape designed specifically to meet
the specific range-of-motion needs of cyclists.
• The brace is constructed from glass-injected Nylon, whereby microscopic
glass beads are infused into the plastic to increase its bond-strength.
This makes for a controlled, stronger brace, without compromising
the wearer’s safety.
• Certain parts of the brace are constructed from carbon-fiber that is
reinforced with Kevlar®. This helps prevent the parts from shattering
and sharp edges to protrude.
• At the back of the brace, fitting firmly on the muscles surrounding
the spine, sits an engineered thoracic member that keeps the brace in
position during an impact. This strut is designed to snap off at a certain
force (roughly, one third of the force it takes to injure the spine).
• The rear-upper support acts as a crumple-zone, giving way under a severe load.
• A unique cut-out section ensures the brace and helmet helps avoid
contact with the collarbone.
• Rounding off the construction of the brace is shock-absorbing Bio-foam.
Biomechanically designed to help cushion the chin and contain the brace
material in an accident, Bio-foam is also fully replaceable and machine-washable.
• The brace features two red-coloured clips that identifies emergency openings to paramedics.
• Leatt-Brace® is the only neck brace system that is CE certified
(according to Personal Protective Equipment directive 89/686/EEC)
and every product has been chemically tested and certified,
so it is free of lead and other harmful additives.
• The DBX Ride features limited adjustability and is permanently
set to the medium riding position.
Weight: approximately 850g ± 50g.
