The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (i.e. A paralyzing injury).

While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, due to the varied dynamics of accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a career ending neck injury although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases.

If the helmet is in contact with the Bionic Neck Support at the moment of impact the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which may prevent a fracture from occurring.

The BNS also helps reduce the chance of muscular injuries associated with extremes of head movement.

While it is not possible to eliminate the risk of any form of injury, the BNS is designed to help prevent the most serious damage and minimize the risk of collateral injury as the impact load is channeled away from the neck.

When compared to soft ‘neck roll’ devices the protection afforded is significantly better because being soft, these devices simply deform, offering no protection against the damaging compressive forces.

As with any riding equipment, fit is critical to ensuring the most effective protection possible and riders should choose the equipment that is best suited to their body. No neck device should roll around over the shoulders.

 

 

 

  • Blend of reinforced Polyurethane main frame material - extensively
    impact tested at varying temperatures to ensure neck ring stays
    intact.
  • Two different densities of EVA foam are used in the BNS: firmer EVA
    in the shoulders and softer EVA in the front and back for comfort.
  • Pivot Key system - A special magnesium key located at the rear
    allows the convenient front opening of the device while also allowing
    it to be dismantled in an emergency.
  • Fitting System - Fine adjustment of the shoulder height allows a
    more personalized fit – particularly for individuals who have a shorter
    than normal neck.
  • Rear Stabilizer Failure system - In the event of large loads being
    channeled onto the rear stabilizer (the part that sits on the back) there
    are several deliberate bending and fracture points designed to relieve
    extreme loads that may be transmitted down the back.

 

 

 

These include:

  • Deflection of foam tail
  • Grooves to allow deflection of support structure tip
  • Fracture area of support structure tip
  • Fracture of supporting members (also fracture if subjected to side
    loads that could cause the head to rotate).

 

 

 

  • Collar Bone preservation 1 - All parts in contact with the body use
    an expanded foam compound to distribute the impact force over the
    widest area, yet remain light in weight.
  • Collar Bone preservation 2 - A continuous frame member runs over
    the shoulders. This means there are no weak points in a critical part
    of the frame and that there are no metal pins or screws sitting directly
    above the shoulders which could be dislodged into the shoulders or
    collarbone during an accident.
  • Choice of Strap Systems - The BNS is supplied with the X-Strap
    System which allows a small, light strap (worn over or under the
    jersey) to secure the device to the rider. The larger A-Strap assembly
    (available as a separate accessory) provides a traditional chest strap
    for those who like to wear the protector tight to the body.
  • Mounting points for accessories – Allows for integration of the BNS
    with other Alpinestars accessories.
  • XS size now available.

The brace itself looks and feels great. The problem is that presently there is no chest protectors to suit this brace. In order to get a brace to suit it will need to be modified by cutting the plastic on the front and back. My suggestion is that potential purchasers hold off until Alpinestars or another manufacturer releases an appropriate chest protector.

              First of all, it is important to choose the right size. I am 192cm/82kg and got the Medium. Felt to big, but with the A-10 chestprotector it was OK.
              Overall a great product!

              Comments about Alpinestars - 2010 Bionic Neck Brace SB:

              The Bionic neck Brace provides a very protective tool at a good price-point. I wear a core saver under my jersey and the only con was that the brace (L) fits perfectly with the coresaver ON. without the core-saver the Large brace is a bit too big. to remedy this i removed the layer of shoulder pad on the brace to lower the height off the shoulders and it fit perfectly. I use the standard x-straps and they are fine, but overtime the elastic will begin to fade. A-stars is a great company and i am sure offer some replacements.

              doesnt fit to good if you have had broken collar bone left/right need to pack it out with stiff foam but otherwise it is brilliant if it saves my neck just once its well worth it as i already have broke my neck before i got this item.

                I loved the brace but the sizing was to big.Ended up getting a Leatt.I would've kept the astars but it was too big.The astars is better than the leatt if you can get one that will fit.
