We have been fitting and advising on Leatt braces for over 5 years now and can offer advice on fitting and set up. The new 2011 braces have been slimmed down to offer more clearance for Mountain bike helmets. You should not feel that the brace is hindering your ride position, if it is its either not set up correctly or you have chosen the wrong size. Give us a call for more advice on 01258 473770

The DBX Comp is based on the original Leatt-Brace® GPX Club The DBX Comp is fully adjustable to suit most individual rider needs. The Leatt-Brace® neck brace is a revolutionary system designed to help protect a rider against various forces on the neck during impact, namely the over-bending of the head and neck in a forward, backward and sideways direction by employing patented Alternative Load Path Technology™. This technology helps disperse impact forces away from critical areas onto less vulnerable areas of the body and is pivotal to the design oftheLeatt-Brace®.

• The DBX Comp features a low-profile shape designed specifically to meet the specific range-of-motion needs of cyclists.
• The brace is constructed from fiberglass reinforced polyamide resin, whereby microscopic glass beads are infused into the plastic to increase its bond-strength. This makes for a controlled, stronger brace, without compromising the wearer’s safety.
• Certain parts of the brace are constructed from carbon-fiber that is reinforced with Kevlar®. This helps prevent the parts from shattering and sharp edges to protrude.
• At the back of the brace, fitting firmly on the muscles surrounding the spine, sits an engineered thoracic member that helps keep the brace in position during an impact. This strut is designed to snap off at a certain force (roughly, one third of the force it takes to injure the spine).
• The rear-upper support acts as a crumple-zone, giving way under a severe load in certain circumstances.
• A unique cut-out section helps ensure the brace and helmet avoids contact with the collarbone.
• Rounding off the construction of the brace is shock-absorbing Bio-foam. Biomechanically designed to help cushion the chin and contain the brace material in an accident, Bio-foam is also fully replaceable and machine-washable.
• The brace features two red-coloured clips that identifies emergency openings to paramedics.
• Leatt-Brace® is CE certified (according to Personal Protective Equipment directive 89/686/EEC) and all materials used have been chemically tested and certified, so it is free of lead and other harmful additives.
• Maximum adjustability on the DBX Comp brace is achieved through six independent adjustment points and the brace is adjustable to suit most individual rider’s needs.
• Weight: approximately 790g ± 50g.
