Leatt-Brace®
Motorcycle sports and racing can be dangerous, even if you take all the possible precautions.
We do not want to think about it, but participation in these activities can result in severe brain, head and neck injuries which may result in paralysis or even death.
The Leatt-Brace® is designed in conjunction with medical professionals and motorcycle enthusiasts to help prevent the following extreme movements:
- Hyperextension (over-bending of the head in a rearward direction)
- Lateral Hyperflexion (over-bending of the head to one side)
- Posterior Hypertranslation (extreme movement of the head and helmet, rearward on the neck)
- Hyperflexion (over-bending of the head in a forward direction)
- Coupled Axial Loading (helps prevent axial loading only when the axial forces act in combination with other mechanisms)
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.
Over long distances, the Leatt-Brace™ can also offer some relief from neck fatigue.
Leatt® is a sign of commitment, passion and dedication. It shows the world that you’re serious about your sport and, when it comes to safety, you don’t accept half-measures. It’s a badge of honour. A choice.
Years of commitment, passion and dedication went into the development of the revolutionary Leatt-Brace® and continues with every new product being developed at Leatt®. Products are backed by scientific research and the collaboration with highly esteemed players in the safety field. All the Leatt® products benefit from the continuous efforts by Dr. Leatt and his team of designers and biomedical engineers at the Leatt® Lab in Cape Town, South Africa, the home of Leatt®’s research & development.
Leatt-Brace® has been tested by BMW Munich, KTM Works Riders and the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards). It is also endorsed by MSA (Motorsport South Africa).
To get the maximum benefit from your Leatt-Brace® it must be properly fitted and attached according to the instructions in the user manual.
Also carefully read the indemnity agreement on the back inside cover of the manual before using the Leatt-Brace®.
Although the Leatt-Brace® is designed to help reduce the risk of such injuries, there is no guarantee that any injury will be prevented by the use of this or any other safety equipment like a helmet, proper gear etc.
Also remember, that you should always use your Leatt-Brace® in conjunction with a good quality full-face helmet.

The GPX Club II is the off-road brace with a premium fit thanks to its adjustable front and rear tables. The fibreglass reinforced polyamide construction and biofoam padding with TPR logo's unites premium safety with great looks. The GPX Club II is based on the original Leatt-Brace® GPX Club, the one that made our name. The GPX Club II 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 of the Leatt-Brace®.
Colour combinations: Black/Grey, Blue/White, Red/Black, White/Black, Yellow,Grey
Key features:
- The GPX Club II features stylish new padding.
- The brace is constructed from fiberglass reinforced polyamide resin, whereby microscopic glass beads are infused into the plastic to increase its bondstrength. 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 GPX Club II brace is achieved through six independent adjustment points and the brace is adjustable to suit most individual rider’s needs.
