Overview
With a compact low-profile design offering superior levels of off-road performance during dynamic movement, the Supertech RK-10 Plasma Knee Brace has been engineered to provide the highest level of knee support. Lightweight, breathable, and protective, this brace features a free-floating Nucleon Plasma knee protector encased in an innovative asymmetric forged carbon fiber frame construction for maximum rigidity and superior weight-saving properties.
Construction
Constructed with a 34-layer carbon frame, the RK-10 Plasma Knee Brace provides riders with elite-level support. The frame geometry was meticulously formulated using 3D scans of professional athletes to ensure optimal internal volume and precise hinge width. The extremities of the upper and lower frames feature a soft and flexible construction with a smooth transition to prevent hard edges from coming into direct contact with the skin. Soft tactile non-slip Neoprene padding ensures rider comfort while keeping the brace securely in position, while soft-touch neoprene condyle padding prevents slipping and allows for a customized fit.
Key Features
- 34-layer carbon fiber frame engineered for the optimal balance of flexibility and rigidity.
- Designed to reduce the risk of injuries to the medial and lateral collateral ligaments, anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, and the lateral and medial meniscus.
- Replaceable hinge covers eliminate steps in construction to avoid material snagging.
- Strategically positioned upper and lower patella extensions ensure maximum coverage regardless of flexion or extension angles.
- Extremely stable four-point hinge system follows the natural articulation of the knee.
- Adjustable extension stops (available from 0° to 30°) assist in setting the desired maximum opening angle.
Protection and Performance
The replaceable knee cups are constructed with a polyurethane outer shell backed with a Nucleon Plasma protector for the optimum blend of impact protection, flexibility, and scratch resistance. Nucleon Plasma is a viscoelastic material engineered from bio-based polymers, designed to be pliable in all directions while dissipating impact energies. Highly ventilated and lightweight, this system offers strong impact force dispersion while ensuring maximum coverage in all riding positions. The RK-10 is built from eco-friendly and sustainable impact-absorbing materials, offering high levels of breathability and comfort for the most demanding off-road environments.
