Until about 1935, motorcyclists or cyclists didn’t wear helmets – with tragic consequences. Seat belts in cars? It seems strange now, but they only became mandatory for the first time in 1970. Likewise, the neck brace is the most recent safety innovation that is starting to already become common sense. The Leatt-Brace® is lab-designed to fit almost any rider: young or old, amateur or professional. Comfortable and adjustable, the Leatt-Brace® is designed and tested to help lessen the risk of neck injury in BMX racing and Downhill Mountain biking. The patented Alternative Load Path Technology forms the basis of this by helping disperse the energy of an impact to the head and helps to assist in the

transferring of forces away from the vulnerable neck to the upper torso. Every Leatt-Brace® is CE-approved (Personal Protective Equipment directive 89/686/eec). It’s just that simple!

The Leatt® DBX has been so well received in the bicycle community, it has already won the coveted 2010 ISPO BrandNew Award (in the Protection category, to be presented at the Munich Bike Expo, 22 to 25 July 2010) before it has even been released!

DBX: the bicycle specific neck brace by leatt®
Introducing the new DBX neck brace by Leatt®, the bicycle specifi c neck brace system developed by the same people who started a revolution on the Motocross circuit. Designed with BMX Motocross and Downhill Mountain Biking in mind, the Leatt-Brace® DBX neck brace features Leatt®’s patented Alternative Load Path Technology™ (ALPT™). ALPT™ is the key to the success of the Leatt-Brace®.
