Alpinestars Bionic-10 Knee Brace Item # 639491
Description
Constructed from an innovative advanced carbon polymer compound for improved strength and performance, the Bionic 10 Carbon Knee Brace helps reduce the risk and severity of injury by preventing excessive hypertension of the knee in an accident. Thanks to innovative engineering the Fluid Tech is ultra-lightweight and offers a highly customizable and secure fit, while affording improved directional movement of the knee articulation while riding.
Key Features:
- Structural hybrid frames are constructed from a composite over-injected with a high performance fiber reinforced polymer which provides optimal structural integrity and support while being ultra-lightweight
- The asymmetric frame design ensures a wide range of unique leg shape compatibility and a perfect fit
- Slim ergonomic design offers a high level of riding comfort during dynamic movement
- The open structure and perforated areas promote maximum ventilation
- Extremely stable slim-design 4-point hinge system perfectly follows the articulation of the knee
- Hinge system incorporates easily exchangeable extension stops (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 degrees) which reduces the risk of sustaining injuries to:
- The medial and lateral collateral ligament
- The anterior and posterior cruciate ligament
- The lateral and medial meniscus
- Protection certified: EN 1621-1:2012 Level 1
Construction:
- New patent pending lightweight and highly ventilated double-wall knee-cup system offers strong impact force dispersion and absorption while ensuring maximum coverage area in all riding positions
- The ergonomically sculptured triple segment knee cup is designed for flexibility and adaptivity and constructed from a double density polymer solution for high impact force dispersion on rigid external shell and energy absorption on semi-rigid internal shell structure
- The knee cup is accurately secured in place by an innovative integrative mechanical guiding system that keeps the knee cup in correct position while providing controlled freedom of movement
- The newly developed Calf Frame strap system holds braces perfectly in position and avoids slipping down when rider is in action and extreme movement
- The two calf straps are linked with a semi-rigid C-shaped connector that dynamically shapes towards the dimension change of the calf muscle
