Product Description
The Leatt-Brace™ is an injection produced glass reinforced nylon neck brace system designed by medical professionals and motorcycle 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 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).

Peggy Edwards lowell,  AR Leatt neck brace The neck brace seems to be effective. The problem we've found is that it doesn't fit well with the chest protector. We are looking to find one & haven't succeeded yet. Leatt should design a chest protector to coordinate with this brace in order to get the most benefit form the device.

jorgen pittsburgh,  PA great product I really like this neck brace and I have used it for about a year now. Almost feel vulnerable without one at this point. Took about a week before I got used to adjusting my head movement; when I am looking over my shoulder etc, then I am also rotating my upper body slightly (and also lean forward just a bit). This is not an issue. You would probably not even notice if you saw me doing it since it is minor. I never ride without it. No exceptions.

Anthony Anderson Yuma,  AZ Leatt - Moto GPX Club Neck Brace Consumer Review I've only ridden with my Leatt GPX club for about 3 rides now (total of ~ 3-4 hours of riding) and it definitely takes some getting used to. In the first ride I thought "no way, I'm eBaying this sucker!" I was even looking for convenient spots along my ride to ditch it and pick it up after the ride. But you need to remember WHY you spent the money on it in the first place. Therefore I kept wearing it. Getting the fit right is the key to happily using it. By this I mean getting it to sit FLUSH on your torso. Any amount it's lifted off your body = more helmet interference. So my overall take w/ this product is: (1) Well designed(2) Excellent quality (3) Expect to spend at least 1 hour to get the fit acceptable
