Premium dirt bike knee brace comparison

Knee braces are amongst the most important pieces of protective gear for dirt bike riders, and when it comes to top-end of the market, there's an abundance of quality products to choose from. 

In this guide, we highlight the benefits and features of premium dirt bike knee braces.

Pod K8 2.0 knee brace:
The Pod K8 2.0 knee brace is one of the most popular off-road protection products available, and there's good reason why - it's a leader when it comes to knee brace design. The K8 uses a Human Motion Hinga with synthetic ligaments, which takes the strain off yours. It's all part of the K8's protective system, which also utilises a forged carbon frame, impact guard and all-new QuickLoc Clip system which makes fitting them incredibly easy.

Asterisk Cell Carbon knee brace: 
The Cell Carbon knee brace is the latest iteration in Asterisk's knee braces, and it's their lightest yet! It's made from Military spec and aerospace-grade carbon fibre, while Asterisk has designed the brace to be one of the slimmest, lightest, most comfortable knee braces on the market. Protection, function and comfort are three of the Cell's greatest qualities.

EVS Axis Web Pro Carbon knee brace: 
The EVS Axis Web Pro Carbon motocross knee brace is designed smaller, lighter and stronger than it's predecessor, and it's made from twin-wall carbon fibre for increase rigidity and strength. The key to the Axis Web Pro's protection system is the Tru-Motion 3.0 hinges, which anatomically replicate the natural motion of the knee and aid in preventing hyperextension.

Alpinestars Bionic 10 knee brace: 
Alpinestars' premium knee brace is the Bionic 10, which is constructed from an innovative advanced carbon polymer compound that makes for great performance and strength. The Bionic 10 is engineered to reduce the severity of knee injuries, helping to prevent excessive hyperextension. The Fluid Tech technology is also super lightweight and customisable, making for the best fit possible alongside improved directional movement.

Leatt C Frame Pro Carbon knee brace: 
The Leatt C Frame Pro Carbon is one of the most unique knee braces in motocross and enduro, largely thanks to its innovative design. The brace uses three-point force distribution with a forged C-arm mono hinge construction, rather than a traditional 'cage' construction. It aids in reducing knee injuries (ACL, Meniscus and MCL), and it's further bolstered by lab-tested, built-in fracture points, which break under load before you injure your shin or thigh bone. 

Mobius X8 knee brace:
Using the help of Ryan Villopoto to develop its knee brace, the Mobius X8 is amongst the most popular and affordable premium braces on the market. The X8 uses a technology called CCRS (Continuous Cable Routing System), which externally reinforces all of the cruciate ligaments. The system resists excessive movement under force, helping to prevent serious knee injuries. It's one of the most advanced and innovative Mobius knee braces available.
