Leatt Brace®, the helmet of your neck

The Leatt-Brace® Moto Kart is designed for use in all go-kart and karting applications. The brace was developed to help prevent:

Hyperflexion: extreme forward head movement
Hyperextension: extreme rearward head movement
Lateral Hyperflexion: extreme sideways head movement
Axial loading: compression of the spinal column due to the effect of force on the helmet
Posterior hypertranslation: rearward movement of the head/helmet on the neck.

There is currently no other neck protection system available for karters that can effectively help prevent all of the above potential injuries. The design rationale behind Leatt Brace® Moto Kart is to bring the head to a controlled stop. This is achieved by providing a padded rigid structure that acts as an alternate load path for neck forces. Helmet impacts otherwise transmitted from the helmet to skull and then to the neck are re-directed from the helmet to the brace to other body structures in a safe way.

Leatt Brace® Moto Kart is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. Leatt Brace® Moto Kart has been tested by BMW Munich, KTM Works Riders, the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards). It is also endorsed by MSA (Motorsport South Africa).
