Fred Bunkley yo también tengo una C frame. Tus conclusiones son exactas, y las de Aleksi también. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

Yup this the first brace review I've found that's actually critical. Keep it up! Please include POD in the follow up too ;) Also a question: Do the Leatts bend past 90 degrees? I tried POD K7s and sent them back because they wouldn't.

@Travis Stamper because it looks cool, and provide protection *above* my skinny-fit jeans ;p plus i saw video when rider hit a road sign with his leg, and then it became half leg :O

That sucks :( Hope that you get those healed up quickly. Just do some serious magic to your knees with quality exercises. 👌

I've gone through a total of 3 pairs of the old generation C Frames (+ 3 knee cups, one "C frame" and one old cable secured hinge). I bought them in 100% retail price with my own hard earned money. What I should've told in the video is that I used to work as sales representative in motorcycle apparel store and we had both Leatt and POD braces. The POD braces are good but in intensive use they wear out pretty quickly and you'll have to buy spare parts quite often. That's the "feel" I received from various offroad and road riders. I never got the chance to try them in real situations. Otherwise PODs are protective and they are super comfortable to wear! The updated C Frame Pro version feels and works so much better than the old one but somehow I find the other Leatt models fit/work better than the C Frame. Making a "decision" of hating a company (or anything in life) after one bad experience is just stupid. I hope you have better experience with quality companies like Leatt who wanted to support me to make these free videos. But thank you for the comment and sharing your own experiences! Cheers, Aleksi

Well, I've been riding with what I believe are the "new C-frame" braces for 2 years now, and aside from the brace sleeve marks coming off they are basically like new. I thought the velcro straps would wear out, but they are perfect. I don't ride like a maniac and haven't really crashed much so maybe that makes a difference.

@@EnduroWithAlex No, I don't hate a company after one bad experience, but after several. Leat are expensive, they don't give you any support, and the quality on their products are low.. So far I have tried Leatt C-frame, Leatt neck brace, and Leatt body protection, all with the same result, bad quality, no interest from Leatt if you have any problems with the gear you have baught from them. Several Enduro buddys have the same experience. Changed hinges on my Leatt C-Frame after 90 hours and that cost me more than 300 U$D. Changed my C-frame with POD K-8 had to change hinges once after 200 hours, to a price of less than 60U$D, Guess I have used them now for more than 300 hours of driving. Thats the difference of (POD) quality or (Leatt) not. So again, no more LEATT.

Yes, ran them for 6 months last year. Good in legs, pretty big in size and the security cables get loose pretty quickly. I find the X-frame more comfortable than Mobius.
