Leatt
The Leatt-Brace® is a truly revolutionary safety system, and the result of years of research and development. It all started in 2002, with Dr. Chris Leatt working together with a team of physicians, surgeons and biomedical engineers. In 2006, further collaboration began with BMW, KTM, the ‘Wings for Life’ foundation and Munich University.
Biomechanical tests were conducted by the Leatt® Lab and the BMW Accident Research Center. The results were meticulously combined with fi eld studies by professional motorcyclists, bicycle riders and medical authorities. And, over the years, the Leatt-Brace® has found some world-class fans.
These include Ryan Dungey, AMA Motocross Champion; Mike Day, BMX Olympian; and Dakar winner Cyril Despres. Their experiences have also contributed to making riding safer for anyone who climbs onto a saddle.
The Leatt-Brace® helps protect against:
Alternative Load Path Technology®
Patented Alternative Load Path TechnologyTM helps reduces forces on the spine, and disperses energy away from critical areas, during impact. This principle is pivotal to the Leatt-Brace® design, and a world first.
