Because that reason, the K8 3.0 Knee Brace has been certified as a medical device to help prevent leg and knee injuries such as ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL, Rotary and Combined instabilities.

Impact Modified Frame

Impact Modified Lightweight Composite frames anchor to the hinges for optimal load transfer away from the knee joint, without compromising feel for the bike. POD's patented technology is proven to reduce the risk of knee injuries while delivering unprecedented levels of strength, comfort, reliability and performance. POD is so confident in the strength and protection of the Impact Modified Composite K4 frames that they back it up with a 2year Warranty.

New Human Motion® Hinge

The intensity of modern sport places the human knee at significant risk which is why POD developed their own Synthetic Ligaments™ to reduce the strain on yours. Inspired by the human body, POD's patented Human Motion® technology uses the power of Synthetic Ligaments™ engineered from Vectran Fibres™ (5X stronger than steel) to provide progressive, multidirectional motion control. The New POD Hinge Housing provides smooth contact surface against your knee avoiding abrasion and delivering new levels of comfort, performance & reliability.

Removable Impact Guards

CE impact tested & certified Full Coverage guards protect against impacts, handlebar strikes, plus enhance comfort when kneeling. The impact guards are easily removable to convert the brace for multi-sport use.

Adaptive cuffs

The Adaptive Cuffs were designed to conform to various leg shapes, while adapting to muscle movement. They accommodate muscle motion and disperse load reducing the risk of skeletal fractures.

Luxury Interior

Frame liners enhance comfort, reduce odor plus capture the interior straps and clips to anchor the brace to your leg, and stop brace migration during your ride. The Frame Liners are easy to remove and wash. Check POD's How-to video series to find how to maintain these and the rest of your POD knee brace.

Quick-Loc

The brand new Quick-Loc Clip System & low profile interior straps anchor the brace to your leg quicker and easier than ever. No more waste of time before a ride!
