{"product_id":"leatt-knee-brace-c-frame-hybrid-black","title":"Leatt Knee Brace C-Frame Hybrid – Unisex – Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Leatt C-Frame Hybrid is a knee brace, not a knee pad. It guides the knee joint with a stiff carbon chassis and a single hinge on the outside of the leg, and Leatt designed it to help reduce the forces that can lead to ACL, MCL and meniscus injuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe word Hybrid refers to the knee cup: a ReaFlex impact gel cushion with a hard-shell slider on top, which adds CE-certified impact protection to EN 1621-1 Level 1 on the kneecap. You get joint guidance and kneecap protection in one product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon chassis with a super-stiff mono-hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-point force distribution, designed by Leatt to help reduce forces on the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid ReaFlex impact gel knee cup with hard-shell slider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKneecap impact protection certified to EN 1621-1 Level 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable hyperextension stops at 10°, 15°, 20° and 25°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLab-tested built-in fracture points to protect tibia and femur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery low-profile inner knee for close bike feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eJoint guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA knee brace works differently from a guard. The C-Frame's mono-hinge chassis is very stiff and spreads load across three points of the leg, and Leatt designed this to help reduce forces on the knee and the risk of ACL, MCL and meniscus injuries. Hyperextension stops limit how far the knee can straighten; you can set them at 10°, 15°, 20° or 25°, with ACL injury reduction as the stated aim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to break in the right place\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C-Frame chassis has engineered fracture points that Leatt has tested in the lab. In an extreme crash the frame is designed to break before the shin bone (tibia) or thigh bone (femur) does. This is a deliberate safety feature: a brace that is too strong could transfer the load to the bone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKneecap protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hybrid knee cup combines ReaFlex impact gel with a hard-shell slider. The gel cushions, the slider helps the knee glide on impact. Leatt certifies this impact protection to EN 1621-1 Level 1, so the C-Frame Hybrid covers both jobs that riders otherwise solve with a brace plus a separate knee guard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBike feel and boot fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single hinge sits on the outside, so the inner side of the knee stays very low profile. That gives a direct feel for the bike when you grip with your knees. At the bottom, a comfortable, low-profile shin plate with a load distribution pad is designed to fit inside all boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C-Frame Hybrid comes in S\/M, L\/XL and XXL. A knee brace has to sit precisely on the joint, so take your measurements carefully and follow Leatt's sizing guidance before ordering. Packaging is plastic-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you should know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA knee brace limits movement and needs careful set-up: hinge position, strap tension and the hyperextension stop all affect how it works, so follow the manual. No brace can rule out injuries. The brace is designed to break under extreme load to protect your bones, which means a brace that has taken a hard crash must be checked and possibly replaced. If you have an existing knee injury, ask your doctor which hyperextension setting suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black carbon chassis and black knee cup give the C-Frame Hybrid a technical, understated look under any pant colour. Carbon's woven surface stays visible up close, and black hardware does not draw attention to the hinge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnee brace with mono-hinge and hybrid knee cup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon, mono-hinge with three-point force distribution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnee cup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHybrid ReaFlex impact gel with hard-shell slider\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpact certification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 1621-1 Level 1 (knee)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHyperextension stops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10°, 15°, 20°, 25°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafety feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLab-tested built-in fracture points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow-profile shin plate with load distribution pad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS\/M, L\/XL, XXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Leatt","offers":[{"title":"S\/M \/ Black","offer_id":54033506140426,"sku":"5023050500","price":628.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L\/XL \/ Black","offer_id":54033506173194,"sku":"5023050501","price":628.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Black","offer_id":54033506205962,"sku":"5023050502","price":628.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/leatt-knee-brace-c-frame-hybrid-black__1.png?v=1793445470","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/leatt-knee-brace-c-frame-hybrid-black","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
