MX neck protection: A must for every crosser

The motocross und enduro neck brace reliably protects the sensitive area between neck and shoulders and can be a real life saver in some cases, as it can prevent serious injuries to the cervical spine. What is important when buying a neck brace and what the differences between the individual models are, we explain here.

Fit and comfort

The correct fit is the most important thing when buying a neck brace, because only if it fits properly can the protection be guaranteed. You should also pay special attention to make sure that the vision and the turning of the head are not restricted. If the helmet hits the neck brace in too many places when you move it, it is either set incorrectly or you have chosen the wrong size. You should also pay attention to the profile, as some neck braces are flatter than others, which results in more freedom of movement.

Compatibility

Not every neck guard is compatible with every chest protector or protector jacket. So before you buy, make sure that the neck brace fits your upper body protector. Products of the same brands should be wearable with each other without any problems, but take the precaution of checking the item description before buying. So before you go on the road with it, you should definitely put on your new neck brace with your protector jacket or chest armour to test it and get some exercise at home. This way you can check if everything is correctly adjusted and compatible.

Material and adjustability

Basically, neck braces can be divided into two types. The entry-level version in the low price segment is mostly made of PU foam, which is why it cannot be adjusted individually. This is especially suitable for beginners or occasional drivers. If you are on the road more often and are not afraid of the most difficult enduro passages or highest jumps, you should choose the higher quality version made of carbon. Of course, you should also take into account that the weight also changes depending on the material. These high-end neck protectors usually consist of two or more parts that are screwed together so that it is easier to adjust them individually to your body. As each neck guard is constructed differently for motocross and enduro, you should also find out before riding how well the brace can be removed in case of a fall and explain this to the people who are riding with you.

Accessories and spare parts

Before you decide on a neck guard you should check which parts are available separately. If a part gets lost or broken, it is important to replace it quickly so that the protection is still guaranteed. For most models you can buy pads, screws, pins or adapters separately. Accessories such as individual straps or complete belt systems are also available from most brands. With stickers and decals you can customize your MX-Neckbrace and adapt it to your style.
