On this rig we test braces to fracture point in an attempt to gain an understanding of failures experienced in the field. Forces in real-life accidents can therefore be replicated and used in further brace testing and design.
We also use this rig to ensure that new materials are strong enough but not too strong and that the failure points designed into the brace are maintained.
Leatt® is a sign of commitment, passion and dedication. It shows the world that you’re serious about your sport and, when it comes to safety, you don’t accept half-measures. It’s a badge of honour. A choice.
Years of the same commitment, passion and dedication went into the development of the revolutionary Leatt-Brace® and continues with every new product being developed at Leatt®. Backed by scientific research and the collaboration with highly esteemed players in the safety field, all our products benefit from these continuous efforts by Dr. Leatt and his team of designers and biomedical engineers at the Leatt® Lab in Cape Town, South Africa, home of Leatt®’s research & development. It is our badge of honour. Our choice.
