Alpinestars Supertech RK-10 Plasma Knee Braces

The Supertech RK-10 PLASMA knee brace was developed to offer the highest level of knee protection. It has a compact, low-profile design that provides excellent performance during dynamic off-road riding movements. Ultra-lightweight, ultra-breathable, ultra-comfortable and ultra-protective, the RK-10 features a Nucleon PLASMA knee protector housed in an innovative asymmetrical forged carbon fiber frame construction that provides maximum rigidity and superior weight-saving properties.

Features:

• Designed based on feedback from professional MX riders, this 34-ply carbon fiber frame provides an optimal balance of flex and stiffness to ensure maximum rider comfort and support while reducing the risk of rider injuries to the medial and lateral collateral ligament, anterior and posterior cruciate ligament, and lateral and medial meniscus
• This frame geometry has been meticulously formulated with countless 3D scans of professional athletes to ensure the optimum internal volume and precise hinge width for maximum comfort in use
• The extremities of the upper and lower frame 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 interchangeable knee pads consist of a polyurethane outer shell with a Nucleon PLASMA knee protector that provides an optimal blend of impact protection, flexibility and scratch resistance
• The strategically positioned upper and lower kneecap extensions ensure maximum coverage regardless of the angle of flexion or extension
• The extremely stable, compact and low-profile four-point hinge system adapts perfectly to knee flexion, while the extension stops, available in a range of 0 to 30 degrees, help to adjust the knee guard to the desired maximum opening angle
• The replaceable hinge covers merge seamlessly from the hinges into the frame, so no further steps are required in the design to avoid the possibility of material getting caught
• Nucleon PLASMA is a viscoelastic material developed from bio-based polymers and molded into a structure that flexes in all directions while having the ability to dissipate impact energy. The lightweight and well ventilated knee protector/shell provides strong distribution and absorption of impact forces while ensuring maximum coverage in all riding positions
• The RK-10 PLASMA knee protector consists of a 34-layer carbon frame and is designed to provide riders with the highest level of knee protection
• The RK-10 features a Nucleon PLASMA knee protector embedded in an innovative asymmetrical forged carbon fiber frame construction for maximum stiffness and superior weight-saving properties. The knee protector is ultra-lightweight and offers the rider a high level of breathability, comfort and protection
• Made from USDA-certified, environmentally friendly and sustainable, shock-absorbing bio-based material
• The soft, non-slip neoprene padding ensures maximum rider comfort and keeps the knee protection securely in place. Replaceable as a spare part
• The soft neoprene condylar pad prevents the knee protector from slipping and is available in various thicknesses for a customized fit. Replaceable as a spare part
• The X straps are profiled so that they do not pinch the back of the knee when fully bent
• Embedded Nucleon PLASMA in the shin padding for additional protection
• Adhesive padding on the upper and lower kneecap to prevent friction
• The high-strength buckles are robust yet flexible to make it easier to put on and adjust
• The central buckles on the inside of the knee are placed inside the frame to avoid contact with the bike

Specifications:

• The interchangeable knee shells consist of a polyurethane outer shell with a Nucleon PLASMA protector that offers an optimal mix of impact Protektion, flexibility and scratch resistance
• Knee protector: EN 1621-1:2012 Level 1
