Troy Lee Designs / Leatt Moto GPX Sport Neck Brace
  • 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).
