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!
Glad it was helpful!
Which one did you end up choosing?
This helped so much. Thanks dudes!
Chase always explains everything awesome I got the mobius there mint
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
Chase never misses a chance to flex on his calves
Dang right!
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.
@Tate Albert instablaster =)
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
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.
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
hey!! Please tell me more, im about to enter surgery acl and meniscus, and im about to save some money for this ones.
@@danielpineda3656 How surgery and recovery went? im getting ACL surgery next week :(
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 wanna know which brand ryno would choose.. 👀
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say neither... but do what makes you feel safest! 👍🏼
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.
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?
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.
@anzorik241 I had the mobius in my cart and changed to pods because I saw your comment thank you
@@marcusmason3533 ur welcome, planning to get pods soon as well
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@jdc9128 I'm sure they will! Guy I work next to has them and he's had no complaints.
Can you use these to knee slide for more protection
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
Christain Craig is now with the Asterisk.

I’d wear something for 💵
I bought my pods with my HSA card haha
Nice!
no knee braces for me brother #chargelife
You do you!
@@rmatvmc I do as the ryno man guides #rynotribe
@@rmatvmc Don't even mention those commie neck braces #chargelife
@@motoson76 yeah... about that. 🤕
Neither! Don't you listen to Ryno... 😂😂😂
Yeah, he'll recommend wearing Flip Flops soon, as Moto boots limit the mobility of your ankles.... ;-)
@@bertienicholas HAHAHA! Love It!!! I hope he uses the Aussie name of thongs so we can make all these conversations a bit more entertaining!!!!
@@SeatTimeClips 🤔🤔 riding in a ‘thong’ would free us up from those restrictive nylon MOTO pants.... 🤣😂
I hate that the Pods say "forged carbon" on them, it sounds fake.
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.
@@gpm5027 I could see why they didn't write all that in there and settled for "forged" then!
