Leatt do not know how to slow down with<br />

their ideas and evolution for motorcycle<br />

safety products and the addition of the ‘Z<br />

Frame Knee Brace’ to their line of protection<br />

for the notoriously tricky and vulnerable<br />

joint raises an eyebrow or two. The Z-Frame<br />

emphasises a closer feel to the bike and has<br />

hyper-extension limitations of 5, 10, 15 and<br />

20 degree help to limit ACL damage. There<br />

is a slim rugged gear hinge (and the whole<br />

composite chassis is CE certified so will<br />

cope with the knocks and abuse a track will<br />

throw at it) and a specific aim to blend function<br />

and performance.<br />

The Z Frame sits confidently next to the ‘X’<br />

and ‘C’ models in the brace range as Leatt<br />

stretch their minds and R&D data when it<br />

comes to the best structures to assist knee<br />

injury and suit the needs of the rider, whether<br />

budding Pro motocrosser or occasional<br />

Enduro dabbler. The choice of model will<br />

really come down to fit and design preference.<br />

With their pedigree in life-saving neck<br />

protection then it is a brand you can trust.<br />

Expect to pay 300 euros or 270 pounds for<br />

the Z Frame pair.
