Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support
Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support
The Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a protective neck brace that works to reduce the risk of neck injury by redirecting the path of pressure that could compress the neck. When worn with a helmet, the BNS will reduce the amount of pressure passing through the neck, preventing possible fractures and muscular injuries.
The BNS is made of a light-weight carbon composite frame which Alpinestars says will provide better protection than soft neck roll-type devices that can be damaged or deformed in normal use, which lessens their effectiveness.
As with all riding equipment, proper fit is critical. The BNS uses the X-strap system to secure the device to a rider using a small strap that can be worn over or under a jersey. A larger A-strap assembly is available as a separate accessory to provide a tighter fit. The BNS is also adjustable to fit riders of varying neck sizes and has mounting points to allow integration with other Alpinestars accessories.
Available in three sizes, the Bionic Neck Support will be available in August at a suggested price of US$679.95.
