Wow, the timing of listing this video is absolutely perfect! I tore my ACL in august (without wearing braces) and I am now slowly getting ready to ride again in the summer. I couldn’t decide between the Mobius and the POD’s. This video definitely helped! Thanks for the video Chase!
i have POD k4, feels solid. havent tried yet but will do soon, 6 months from ACL surgery. Dont be like me, buy knee brace before you break your ligements
Bought my X8 2 weeks ago in Canada after 2 years of racing without real good ones, very expensive but a lot of riders preffer the mobius for all the ajustments possible.
I had a pair of möbius I ordered the k8 mk2. The möbius knee braces are good at fist but if you ride a lot they hurt your knee and they are really bulky, and hot
I’ve had Mobius for a couple seasons and I’ve hated them since Day 1 but after investing in them and ordering different pads and a different cord (the sizing chart is way off) I wished I went with the Pod’s. Also the Mobius is super hot.
Why I didn't meet this comment 2 years ago when I bought mine. Now I regret I didnt go for pods... 2 years of riding Mobius X8 and this is worst knee bracers I've ever tried. Hard to find pants that fits good with them, why nobody talks about protection? There's a huge hole when you sitting in the corner that opens ur knee and I got a flying rock into my knee just into this hole from rider in front. There are more things I dont like that happened.
i have a pair of the mobius they are a great pair of braces dont get me wrong but i was wearing them and a pair of tech 10 boots and had a massive crash and i broke my leg in 5 spots and it was a compound fracture and since they cant undo all the knee brace straps cause if the one in the middle they had to cut it off so now i have to buy a new pair
kinda makes you wonder what is the point of a brace, lol. I completely tore everything inside my knee, had to get a full reconstruction, and I was wearing the Mobius. Although I didn't have them tight enough and they were over jeans..but still.
you prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
I have both injuries in both knees. I wear pod K8 every day and I'm looking for a better brace. I'm gonna try mobius. I still managed to hurt my knee every ride.
I'm also wondering about the pod vs ultra cell. The pod hinge seems gimmicky to me and the knee cap mechanics are a bit to be desired, but the cuffs seem to be more flexible and thinner than ultra cells. Wish I had a local store that carried both.
The problem with these videos is these are not people with MCL and ACL tears giving reviews on the brace whether or not it is supportive enough. The pod k8 are not. I am still looking for a better brace. I need to come out of joint all the time.
Coming from someone with severe knee problems with a history of pain and instability, the Mobius provides good to great mobility and confident coverage. Downside is the quality of interior padding feels cheap, in my opinion, for what we're paying... Albeit really comfortable. Weighing the options on the pod, and have little experience seeing them in person. Coming from the original asterisk lace design (also hot and not the easiest to adjust or put on your leg).
hands down Mobius are the best when worn properly with correct pad size and cinched down as tight as possible. I got the $3,800 custom DonJoy Defiance Pros this summer after a full knee construction, and I'm sorry to say they are HOT GARBAGE. Literally provide no bracing support, they're very uncomfortable, provide no impact protection, even with the mx guards attached, and they're heavy and bulky. I put the 20 degree stops in and I can still push my knee into painful hyperextension. I asked the sales rep why and he had no idea. What a joke! I've tried so many others as well but in my opinion nothing beats the Mobius X8s. They check every box. Donjoy is ripping people off with their faux "braces"
Hi chase , just purchased leatt x frame hybrid and found out they rub the Skin of my fibula every time I ride , any recommendations for a brace with a more padded area around fibula? Thanks
Hello, JDC91. Man, sorry to hear about that. I haven't ridden in that brace so I can't give any feedback on it. The three braces that I've worn the most are the Carbon Cell 1, POD K8 2.0, and the Mobius and I didn't have any issues with those bothering my shins at all. I'd say the POD has the most padding at the bottom of the shin area. - Chase
@@rmatvmc thanks for the reply chase , I think I will try the pod k4 2.0 as there more in my price range, hopefully they have the same comfort you got in the k8.
Forged carbon describes the manufacturing process. the POD K8 frame is constructed from 20 layers of pre-preg carbon fiber and fiberglass that is cured in a heated mold under 20 tonnes of force. This ensures the ultimate ratio of fiber to epoxy so the frame is light and strong. It's the same process used in Formula one and other premium carbon applications.

Glad it was helpful!
Which one did you end up choosing?
POD K4 - Can wear the braces all day long with comfort; no chafing or sliding. 90 hours / 1 yr ride time and they are holding up great.
And they're $50 cheaper than the Mobius and 1.2 pounds lighter! That's allot less weight trying to migrate down your leg.

also huge,can't fit any of my moto pants anymore
How is sizing chart off? Do they fit on the bigger or smaller side?

@Tate Albert instablaster =)
I wanna know which brand ryno would choose.. 👀
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say neither... but do what makes you feel safest! 👍🏼
if one’s had knee ligament damage which one would offer better protection for mcl acl concerns ? i tore both mine 🤦🏻♂️
I have both injuries in both knees. I wear pod K8 every day and I'm looking for a better brace. I'm gonna try mobius. I still managed to hurt my knee every ride.
This helped so much. Thanks dudes!
Do either of these beat the ultra cell 3.0? (In your opinion of course) ready to pull the trigger on a set but I’m struggling with which.
I'm also wondering about the pod vs ultra cell. The pod hinge seems gimmicky to me and the knee cap mechanics are a bit to be desired, but the cuffs seem to be more flexible and thinner than ultra cells. Wish I had a local store that carried both.
I currently have the Carbon Cell 1 and they are the best brace I've used. I would choose them every time over the Ultra Cell. - Chase
I have the k8 first gen. Are there any replacement fibre “shims” to buy? Does the 2.0 shims fit? I am buying the mobius soon but just wondering.
You can get replacement pad sets here: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/riding-gear/pod-mx-k8-knee-brace-replacement-pad-set-p

@@jdc9128 I'm sure they will! Guy I work next to has them and he's had no complaints.
So where does asterisk rank with these? Just got those so hope was a good decision!
We have other vs with the Asterisk and these coming soon.
Qual é a melhor k8 ou x8 ?
Entre as duas, Eu escolheria a X8. Talvez nao dura tanto quanto a K8, mas e super confortavel e discreto - Chase
Can you use these to knee slide for more protection
Christain Craig is now with the Asterisk.

Yeah, he'll recommend wearing Flip Flops soon, as Moto boots limit the mobility of your ankles.... ;-)

I hate that the Pods say "forged carbon" on them, it sounds fake.

@@gpm5027 I could see why they didn't write all that in there and settled for "forged" then!
