Product Information
Full details
The Leatt 5.5 Wrist Brace is a high-performance protective accessory engineered for adult motocross and action sports enthusiasts seeking to minimize the risk of wrist hyperextension. Its primary benefit lies in its rigid structure and customizable flex settings that provide stability without completely restricting necessary range of motion. While it offers superior impact and hyper-extension protection, users should be aware that the rigid nature of the brace requires an adjustment period to ensure maximum comfort during aggressive riding.

FAQs
Can I use the Leatt 5.5 on both wrists?
Yes, the brace is designed to be ambidextrous or can be purchased in pairs to support both wrists.
How do I know which size is right for me?
The S/M size is tailored for standard adult wrist measurements; always refer to the specific Leatt sizing chart to measure your circumference before purchasing.
Are the flex struts easy to change?
Yes, the struts are designed to be user-interchangeable; simply follow the manual provided in the packaging to pop them in and out of the matrix frame.
Will this brace fit inside my gloves?
It is designed to fit under most motocross gloves, though gloves with large integrated wrist armor may be a tight fit.
How often should I replace the padding?
Replace the padding if it loses its shape, becomes compressed, or shows signs of permanent moisture damage or odor that washing cannot fix.
Troubleshooting
The ATOP dial feels difficult to turn.
Check for debris or dirt trapped in the dial mechanism and clear it using compressed air or a soft brush.
Wrist movement feels restricted or uncomfortable.
Try swapping the currently installed flex struts for a version that allows for more range of motion.
Skin irritation during long rides.
Ensure the twin-section neoprene liner is positioned correctly and free of debris; consider wearing a thin moisture-wicking wrist sleeve underneath.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of protection against hyperextension
- Precision-fit ATOP cable system
- Customizable support levels via interchangeable struts
- Ergonomic design minimizes the risk of arm pump
- Includes spare padding kit for extended service life
Cons
- Requires break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by positioning the brace on your wrist and using the ATOP dial to tighten the cable until it feels secure but not constrictive. Ensure the neoprene liner is flat against the skin to prevent rubbing. Compatibility is optimized for riders wearing gauntlet-style or short-cuff gloves that can accommodate the width of the brace. For care, remove the neoprene liners periodically to wash them by hand with mild soap and cold water. Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling. Regularly inspect the ATOP cable for fraying and ensure the flex struts are correctly locked into their slots before each ride.
