    Leatt Brace - Go-Kart Neck Brace

     

    The Leatt-Brace™ is an injection molded glass reinforced nylon or carbon fiber and Kevlar neck brace system designed by medical professionals and karting 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 karters 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 KART works with most types of body armor and chest protectors.

      The Leatt-Brace™ MOTO KART is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. The Leatt-Brace™ 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).
