LEATT C-frame knee braces and why so few adventure riders use knee braces

[michnus]

Written this article for two reasons, the one on why so few adventure riders are using proper knee braces and a review of the LEATT knee braces.


WHY ARE SO FEW ADVENTURE RIDERS USING KNEE-BRACES?

Proper knee braces should be part of every serious adventure or dual-sport riders kit
And also a review on the Leatt C-frame knee braces we have been using the last 2years and 30000km
It is a good question, and we only really came to think about it when Elsebie ran out of luck fifteen years after starting to ride off-road on dual-sport bikes. But we’ll get on to that a little bit later.

Most riders buy the obligatory protection for use with a dual sport adventure bike. Helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, super strong enduro boots and they are off. Why riders would think buying super protective enduro boots but not proper knee-braces is a mystery. At least these days more riders use neck braces as part of their kit. I think because suits and pants normally come standard with knee pads, riders accept that they are adequate enough for protecting knees and trust the clothing brand to know best.......... https://www.pikipikioverland.com/why...g-knee-braces/
