Alpinestars Supertech RK-10 Plasma Knee Braces Black/Red

Engineered for elite off-road performance, the Alpinestars Supertech RK-10 Plasma Knee Braces deliver unparalleled knee support with a compact, low-profile design, ensuring dynamic movement and superior protection for serious riders.

Description

The Alpinestars Supertech RK-10 Plasma Knee Braces are meticulously designed to offer the highest level of knee support and protection, making them an essential piece of gear for any serious MX rider. These advanced knee braces combine a lightweight, breathable, and protective construction with innovative features for ultimate comfort and safety. At its core is an asymmetric forged carbon fiber frame, constructed with 34 layers, providing an optimal balance of flexibility and rigidity. This robust design is crucial for reducing the risk of injuries to key ligaments and menisci during high-impact off-road riding. Integrated into this frame is a free-floating Nucleon Plasma knee protector, a viscoelastic material derived from bio-based polymers, engineered to dissipate impact energies effectively while remaining pliable. The brace's geometry has been precisely formulated using extensive 3D scans of professional athletes, ensuring an optimal internal volume and hinge width for maximum comfort. The stable, compact, four-point hinge system mirrors the natural articulation of the knee, with adjustable extension stops from 0° to 30° allowing riders to customize their maximum opening angle. Soft-touch neoprene padding with varying thicknesses ensures a secure, customized, and comfortable fit, preventing slipping and enhancing overall rider experience.
