BMW Motorrad has launched an innovative new Neck Brace System that greatly reduces the risk of serious neck injury for riders. The system, which sits comfortably between a rider’s shoulders and any helmet, has been designed to provide optimum protection for the spine during an accident. Made from a mix of carbon fibre, Kevlar and fibre-glass for supreme strength, the Neck Brace System is comfortable to wear as a soft, impact-absorbing and ‘skin-friendly’ foam layer sits between the hardened outer casing and the rider. It has also been designed to easily slip on around the neck, like a collar, courtesy of two rapid action fasteners at the side. These fasteners allow for simple handling and easy adjustment.
