Asterisk Ultra Cell
Tired of messing around with laces on your Asterisk knee braces?
I know I am. Everyone is hitting the trail while I'm fumbling with the laces. Here's Asterisk's answer. Looks like you turn a knob to tighten them up. http://adrenalinemx.com/asterisk-int...ll-knee-brace/ |

Thats sweet! Like a ski boot adjustment. My CTi is getting hammered, I'd love a pair of these.

They do look nice, I got a pre-flyer from my distributor the other day on these. We've used the Boa reel type system on wakeboard boots for a while now, I still haven't seen a weight yet but carbon fiber/aluminum can't be to heavy ! They have a lot of features:
The Ultra Cell™ Knee Protection System is without question the most technologically-advanced Knee Protection System available. Several patented revolutionary design concepts come together in unison to create this System. The A.R.C. Cuff’s ability to be totally adjustable for fit, yet remain rigid, along with a superior fastening design in partnership with Boa? Technologies, a natural free-motion, rolling-gliding hinge, tibial plateau-capturing frame design, brace-to-boot tether attachment, and a full time-full coverage patella cup, sets this knee brace decades ahead of all the rest. —————————————————————- Ultra CELL™ —————————————————————- A.C.M. FRAME _Anatomically correct design _Carbon fiber epoxy Matrix _Rigid & lightweight, impact distributing structure ASYMMETRI-GLIDE HINGE _Tracks the natural “rolling-gliding” motion of the knee joint _Asymmetrical design allows each hinge to set properly _Allows for automatic tibia alignment of lower frame _Adjustable ext. regulator from 0? to 30? _Condyle shims for fine tuning fit A.R.C. CUFF _Adjustable Retention Control _Multiform rigid lateral support _Built in Anti-Rotation connection _Stainless steel retention strips _Inverted adjustment increases lateral rigidity _Thermo-Formed EV50 shock absorbent foam padding ANTI-ROTATION TETHER _Links the brace to the boot, making them as one _Transfers forces of a lower leg rotation _Adjustable to suit each individual DUAL-INDEPENDENT SECUREMENT SYSTEM _Medial Macro-Adjustment _Superior security to strapping _Boa? closure system provides smooth even closure and no pressure points _Quick release tabs TELE-TRI PATELLA CUP _Telescoping Three piece design _Easily removable _High impact Nylon 6 material _Full range of motion coverage of the knee cap _Thermo-Formed EV50 shock absorbent foam padding WATER RESISTANT _Non-corrosive metals _Non-corrosive composites _Hand washable soft materials

Now if they are comfortable and even better yet covered by health insurance providers.
I'd really like to get a good pair but no matter the technology the bottom line is they have to fit and be comfortable. The problem is I haven't found a retailer that will stock any of the high end braces to try on. |

Another issue is that most of them measure by thigh/calf size, so a large for me is a different large for another-hard to stock like that

I put in about 50 hard miles today with the new Ultra Cells.
Ultra Pros: Lighter. Main frame fits better around the leg. Attatching system-Light years ahead. Better warranty: BOA cable system has a lifetime warranty. 1 year warranty on the rest of the Ultra Cell. Cons: Bulkier around the knee guards. Had a tighter fit in the MX pants. Instructions are the New World pictographs. I did a "dry" fit with the Ultras Saturday. Fit was excellent. Had to do some minor tweeking of the metal cinch bars around the upper thigh. The braces come with an allen wrench for making these adjustments. While riding, I could not feel any pressure points from the brace. The new attatching cable system is fast to put on very easy to tighten up. With the lace up system on the old braces, I was never sure they were tight enough. I did not have any shifting of the braces while riding, It was easier to grip the bike due to the better fitting main frame. No chafing at all-the Ultras have nothing behind the knees that would cause chafing. I am very impressed with the new Ultra Cell knee braces. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Troy Lee braces when I saw these. |
