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:
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™ MOTO
KART 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).

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.
