I had a motorbike accident over 20 years ago and broke both my Ulna and Radius in my forearm. After 4 major surgeries I can still use my hand although my wrist cannot bend much due to the pain and limited bending motion. I started cycling at the beginning of the year but I think I have been aggravating my wrist and it got so bad that I couldn't hold on to the handlebar anymore. I then found the Leatt 5.5 brace and although it is very expensive in my country I took a chance and bought it. I have been using the brace now for a month and it ALMOST feels like I never broke my wrist. There is the normal amount of light pain after a ride but the support from this brace is phenomenal!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who had a broken wrist/forearm. Well done Leatt!
Looking at how it works, I hope it has decent flex or shock absorption as it look like it could put significant force on the metacarpals behind the knuckles. It would suck to prevent a sprained wrist only to break a hand. Any user input here would be great.
I have the möbius x8 and love it, got it as a preventative, but also to support my wrists that have taken a beating over the years as someone in a wheelchair, the only possible downside compared to the leatt is the x8 has a button you have to push to unwind it which the leatt doesn’t look like it has
has anyone directly worn both mobs and this ? I have broken my radius down the joint and will most likely have to wear this for life now so which one is the best for my case ? any help appreciated
Hi Will. I haven't ridden in the Leatt yet but I wore the Mobius for a while and what I can say is that they Mobius is really good. It never affected my riding and did offer good support for my wrist. Just wearing the two in the studio, the Mobius does fit and feel more comfortable to me. - Chase
@@liorazriel I boughy lots of spares. But they should try to improve it. Otherwise it's perfect. No issues otherwise. I also have two spares in my backpack.
I bought the Mobius. Curious that brace single or double fingers it cuts the circulation off of time. Have they made a fix for that? My fingers are ordinary sausages so I bet most have this issue. Great brace. Looking at this one for smaller frame.

Thanks Juan. Hope it really helps you.
Same with me. I tweaked my wrist. Found this. And I feel brand new.

IMO the Mobius is more comfortable and has better range of motion than the Leatt

I should really think about getting one of those........ especially because I only have one working arm and keeping it "working" is my main concern 🤣
Great video! Fresh injury club too. Which one limits side to side motion more?
Did you ever answer this question for yourself? I am probably in the same place you were when you asked lol. Hope you are good now.
@@bentbarzracing8205 snap , any answers 🤣
awesome, hopefully will never need it.... nice product and overview
I've Mobius X8 but my main complaint is how fast the neoprene liner wears out, it tears at the finger loops.
I had the same issue

Does Thai prevent injury?
Yes, this is designed to prevent hyperextension which could cause injury.
What do you prefer, under or over your sleeve?
Over the sleeve is the way to go.
@@rmatvmc thanks a lot! Will use it for the first time this Saturday after I got injured last Saturday. I hope I‘ll be able to ride
Can you were motorcycle gloves with the rist gards
Yes, these are designed to be worn over the top of your glove.

What about with gloves
It's designed to be worn over gloves so the fit won't be any different.
Hey what about to use this with a klim jacket and klim adventure gtx gloves?
Does this help with whiskey throttle?
