Our enduro team recommends this for hard enduro based on safety, fit/mobility, real‑world testing, and value at its tier. We explain the trade‑offs so you can decide if it fits your riding, terrain, and budget.
Why we like it
Easy adjustment and strong integration focus; popular alternative to Leatt braces.
- Safety first: We verify certifications and real impact performance.
- Fit & mobility: Comfort reduces fatigue and improves control on long, technical days.
- Field‑tested: Picks are validated by riders across terrain and crashes.
- Tiered value: Budget / Value / Premium based on riding goals and frequency.
- Zero fluff: No paid placements. If we wouldn’t ride it, you won’t see it.
May reduce certain cervical injury risks; ensure fit and integration with helmet/chest.
Comfort first for hard enduro
Long rides magnify small discomforts. Prioritize fit: if an item hurts or distracts after 2–3 hours, it’s the wrong size or setup. Return or exchange when possible. Remember, bodies and conditions differ.
Consider trade‑offs for your terrain and weather, prioritize fit, and pick reliable options with solid rider feedback.
