Leatt Brace SM. Kart

Leatt Moto GPX Go Kart Neck Brace Protection

The Leatt-Brace® MOTO KART is designed for use in all go-kart and karting applications. The brace was developed to help prevent:

Hyperflexion: extreme forward head movement
Hyperextension: extreme rearward head movement
Lateral Hyperflexion: extreme sideways head movement
Axial loading: compression of the spinal column due to the effect of force on the helmet
Posterior hypertranslation: rearward movement of the head/helmet on the neck.
Alternative Load Path Technology®

There is currently no other neck protection system available for karters 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 using alternative load path technology.

The design of the Leatt-Brace® prevents the helmet/head from projecting over the brace and therefore prevents a fulcrum action, which has been documented in literature pertaining to the use of collar devices. The Leatt-Brace® MOTO KART works with most types of body armor and chest protectors.

The Leatt-Brace® MOTO KART is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. The Leatt-Brace® MOTO KART is designed for all levels of competition use, and recreational karting. The Leatt-Brace® has been tested by BMW Munich, KTM Works Riders, the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards). It is also endorsed by MSA (Motorsport South Africa).
