Guys, Thanks for chiming in on these braces and my question above. The photos are educational and motivation enough to break out the wallet! Good luck healing that leg. Bugs
Its coming along and Ill be back as strong as ever.... hopefully stronger and definitely more focused....
I tore my ACL and fractured my patella 10 years ago. I had the ACL repaired and my Doctor gave me script for custom braces. I went with CTi and never looked back. I was fortunate that I only had a $200 copay, with my health plan. After 10 years of hard use, they needed a couple of repairs and sent them back to CTi for a rebuild. I got them back better than new, with some updates included. It wasn't cheap, but well worth the money, as they'll see me for another 10 years.
I'ved had EVs RS9's (not the Pro) for a few years now and l think they are great value for a medium range knee brace, in fact any braces that limit hyper extension is worth their weight. They do take some getting use too but once your over that, l find l can grip the bike better. The easiest knee injury for us dirt riders are those stupid ones where you come out of a corner and drag your boot on the ground, then the toe catches a root or rock and flings it back on that weird angle and it's a then .
I have a pair of EVS Axis Pro Carbon fiber/aluminum knee braces for sale. XL size. Very good shape. Make me an offer. Maybe used 20 times. I'm thinking my racing days are over.
