Description

For demanding motocross and off-road riding, the Supertech Rk-10 Plasma Knee Braces provide knee support while accommodating dynamic movement, with a lightweight forged carbon fiber frame balancing rigidity and flexibility.

Key Features

• Developed using feedback from professional MX riders, this 34-layer carbon fiber frame is engineered for the optimal balance of flexibility and rigidity to deliver the highest levels of rider comfort and support while reducing the risk of sustaining injuries to the medial and lateral collateral ligament, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament, and the lateral and medial meniscus.
• This frame geometry was meticulously formulated using countless 3D scans of professional athletes to ensure the optimal internal volume and precise hinge width for maximum comfort during use.
• The extremities of the upper and lower frames feature an innovative soft and flexible construction with a smooth transition to prevent the hard edges of the carbon fiber frame from coming into direct contact with the skin.
• The replaceable knee cups are constructed with a polyurethane outer shell backed with a Nucleon PLASMA Knee protector for the optimum blend of impact protection, flexibility, and scratch resistance.
• The strategically positioned upper and lower patella extensions ensure maximum coverage regardless of the flexion or extension angles.
• The extremely stable, compact low-profile four-point hinge system perfectly follows the articulation of the knee while the extension stops, which are available in a range from 0 to 30 degrees, assist in setting the brace to the desired maximum opening angle.
• The replaceable hinge covers transition smoothly from the hinges to the frame, effectively eliminating any steps in the construction to avoid any possibility of material snagging.

Protection

Nucleon PLASMA Knee Protector (EN 1621-1:2012) - CE Level 1
Nucleon PLASMA Shin Padding

Construction

34-layer carbon fiber frame
The RK-10 PLASMA Knee Brace is constructed with a 34-layer asymmetric forged carbon fiber frame, engineered to provide the highest level of knee support, the highest levels of rigidity, and superior weight savings. The frame encases a Nucleon PLASMA knee protector, while the brace combines an ultra-lightweight build with high levels of breathability, comfort, and protection.

Nucleon PLASMA compound and geometry
The Nucleon PLASMA element is constructed from a bio-based viscoelastic impact-absorbing compound with no less than 25% bio-based content, molded into a precision-engineered geometry. The PLASMA material dissipates impact energy and significantly reduces transmitted forces through controlled material response. Its low-profile geometry is developed to compress and extend with movement while supporting airflow through a channeled, highly perforated design.

Replaceable non-slip neoprene padding
Soft, tactile, non-slip neoprene padding ensures the highest levels of rider comfort while keeping the knee brace securely in position and is replaceable as a spare part.

Adjustable neoprene condyle padding
Soft-touch neoprene condyle padding further prevents the knee brace from slipping and is available in different thicknesses for a customized fit. The padding is replaceable as a spare part.

Profiled X-straps
X-straps are profiled to avoid pinching the back of the knee when fully flexed.

Nucleon PLASMA shin padding
Nucleon PLASMA is embedded into the shin padding for additional protection.

Non-grip patella padding
The upper and lower patella padding uses a non-grip construction to avoid friction.

High tensile strength buckles
High tensile strength buckles are robust while remaining flexible for easy strapping and adaptability. The inner-knee central buckles are mounted inside the frames to avoid contact with the bike.

Protection

Innovative impact absorbing protection that is elastic, forgiving, and moves with the natural movement of the body

Alpinestars Nucleon Plasma Protector, Red Perforated Flexible Armor for MTB Impact Protection and Breathability.

Breathability

The innovative structural design allows the protector to be slim and to have a high level of breathability, as well as flexibility, due to the high percentage of perforation attributed to the "M" shaped design.

Comfort

The inner side of certain protectors are laminated with a smooth fabric which provides a soft and comfortable feeling. The fabric adds durability and prevents possible tearing of the viscoelastic material.
