Overview
With a compact low-profile design offering superior levels of off-road performance during dynamic movement, the Supertech RK-10 Knee Brace has been engineered to provide the highest level of knee support. This ultra-lightweight, breathable, and protective brace features a free-floating Nucleon Plasma knee protector encased in an innovative asymmetric forged carbon fiber frame construction, offering maximum rigidity with superior weight-saving properties.
Developed using feedback from professional MX riders, the 34-layer carbon fiber frame is engineered for the optimal balance of flexibility and rigidity. This design delivers peak comfort and support while reducing the risk of injuries to the medial and lateral collateral ligaments, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, and the meniscus. The frame geometry was meticulously formulated using 3-D scans of professional athletes to ensure optimal internal volume and precise hinge width for maximum comfort during intense use.
The upper and lower frame extremities feature a soft, flexible construction to prevent hard edges from contacting the skin. The replaceable knee cups utilize a polyurethane outer shell backed with a Nucleon Plasma protector for the perfect blend of impact protection and scratch resistance. Strategically positioned patella extensions ensure maximum coverage regardless of flexion or extension angles. The stable, low-profile four-point hinge system follows the knee's natural articulation, while adjustable extension stops (0 to 30 degrees) allow for a customized maximum opening angle.
Nucleon Plasma is a viscoelastic material engineered from bio-based polymers, remaining pliable in all directions while dissipating impact energies. This lightweight, ventilated structure offers strong force dispersion and maximum coverage in all riding positions.
Features:
- USDA certified bio-based eco-friendly and sustainable impact absorbing material.
- Soft tactile non-slip Neoprene padding ensures high levels of comfort while keeping the brace securely in position.
- Soft-touch neoprene condyle padding prevents slipping and is available in different thicknesses for a customized fit.
- X-straps are profiled to avoid pinching the back of the knee when fully flexed.
- Nucleon Plasma embedded into the shin padding for additional protection.
- Non-grip upper and lower patella padding to avoid friction.
- High tensile strength buckles are robust and flexible for easy strapping and adaptivity.
- Inner-knee central buckles are mounted internally to avoid contact with the bike.
- Knee protector: EN 1621-1:2012 LEVEL 1
