Leatt - 4.5 Neck Brace
Leatt - 4.5 Neck Brace
The Leatt 4.5 Neck Brace is built for motocross and off-road riders who want serious neck protection in a brace that still feels comfortable enough to wear every ride. It sits right in that sweet spot between the Leatt 3.5 and 5.5, giving you more adjustability and refinement without jumping all the way to the top-tier price point.
The goal is simple and important. Help reduce the risk of neck injury by transferring impact forces away from the fragile bones in the neck during a crash. The 4.5 does this with a lightweight composite matrix platform, a helmet rim striking surface designed to redirect forces, and a smart rear strut design that is built to move with you while you ride.
It is also independently lab and rider tested, CE tested and certified, and designed with comfort details that make a big difference when you are wearing it for long motos, trail miles, or full race weekends.
Why We Like It
We like the 4.5 because it feels like the brace Leatt built for riders who actually want to wear one all the time. The CoreFlex split rear thoracic strut is a big deal. It works with natural body movement instead of fighting it, and it is designed to break away before it can apply excessive pressure to the back.
The collarbone cut-out is another detail that shows Leatt knows exactly what riders worry about. It is engineered to help keep the helmet rim away from the collarbone area during impacts.
Why It’ll Work for You
If you ride motocross, enduro, desert, or aggressive trail, this is one of the smartest protection upgrades you can add to your kit. It is designed to help reduce neck forces in a crash while still giving your helmet freedom of movement for normal riding. Once you get the fit dialed, it feels secure without feeling like a stiff, restrictive collar.
The 2-way thoracic adjustability and rear adjustability help you get a proper fit with different chest protectors and body armor setups. That matters because a neck brace only works right when it sits correctly on your shoulders and interfaces properly with your helmet and gear.
