thoracic strut. This strut, called CoreFlex, allows the rear, downward, “fingers” to flex independently of each other with co-molded, soft, rubber set between them and extending below them. The Comp 4 neck brace is the only neck brace with the unique rear table height adjustment with 28mm of travel. This allows for the best, safest, way to custom fit the brace with your helmet, your body shape and your riding style.
Like all Leatt neck braces the Comp 4 was invented by motorcycle racer and trauma surgeon, Doctor Chris Leatt, and built around Leatt® Corporation’s patented Alternative Load Path Technology, and is CE certified as personal protection. Used and trusted by more bicycle riders and racers than any other neck brace.
