Knee braces

Post by MrJimJam »

Hi

Any advice on knee braces? Was thinking of investing in a pair as a passenger I value my knees.

Any brand, type or style better than others?

Do braces get in the way as typically designed for solo riders.


Thanks

Do it James, don't make the mistake most of us have and wait until AFTER you have knee problems.
I have CTi Edges and can't fault them at all.
The new Troy Lee ones look very similar but are a daft colour for motocross (white).

Most times people buy these braces wen it is to late, after an injury on their ligaments the damage is already there and recovery is a long way to go.
Be smart and avoid injuries.

Thanks guys

Any one got any feedback on Alpine Star knee braces or the new Troy Lee braces?

CTi seem the prefered choice on all MX forums but a little harder to get hold of.

I am using Asterisk knee braces. Can't complain on them! It is necessary to use them but as you know - they won't protect your knees for 100% anyway. I got my both right and left knee ACL break. Bought Asterisk only after. Damaged them in solo motocross.

With Asterisk i was able to play ice-hockey even before surgeries.
