Ducshop Racing’s Emerson Connor to move up to Daytona SportBike Connor scheduled to wear the Leatt-Brace® at Mid-Ohio Atlanta – Moving up from Supersport to Daytona SportBike, Ducshop Racing rider Emerson Connor #100 will sport the Leatt-Brace at Mid-Ohio. The Leatt-Brace is an injection produced glass reinforced nylon neck brace system designed by medical professionals and motorcycle enthusiasts to help prevent neck and cervical spine injury by bringing the head to a controlled stop. According to Emerson, “I’ve been practicing with the Leatt STX Road Brace and I forget it is even there. I look forward to wearing it at Mid Ohio and hopefully will be able to make it a permanent part of my protective gear.” Neck injuries can be of the most serious upper body injuries in motorcycle road accidents. Leatt® STX Road, the all-new neck brace for street motorcycle riders, forms an essential part of your personal safety system. It functions in conjunction with your helmet and is designed to help protect your neck from extreme movements and overall neck loading in the event of an accident. The Leatt® STX Road is engineered with Leatt®’s proven Alternative Load Path Technology™ (ALPT™) and features seamless integration of function, movement and looks for street motorcycle riding, on the road or at the track. Now in the Daytona SportBike class, Emerson’s Ducshop 848EVO can use the full line of Ducshop AMA Homologated products to improve the 848’s performance.
