Mobius X8 Motocross Wrist Brace

[@jacobmansker9624]

This looks amazing I've broken my wrist twice and now I only have around 60 degrees range of motion so being able to adjust how much it will hyper extend is huge. Definitely buying this product.

[@rmatvmc]

Jacob, I've had several friends buy these after trying out mine and they've all loved it. I think you'll be very happy with it. Hardly takes any time to get used to also. Have fun out there-Chase

[@Sagres74flamestar]

Did you get them

[@jacobmansker9624]

@@Sagres74flamestar yes I did. It makes your wrist feel pretty stiff and takes some getting used to. Also the strap for my finger broke after a couple months but they come with spares

Thx!

Glad you like it! I've had several riders try mine and they all have felt the same way. Thanks for sharing! - Chase

[@hugocardenastv333]

I want to try this for downhill MTB. I broke my radius and riding now seems like a very far away dream. People complain about the price but my hospital bill was 150k. Surgeon bill was 4k plus anesthesiologist 500$ and physical therapy at a cost of 300 session ( 36 needed). Money is just a tool and 400$ to avoid thousands is nothing

[@rikybologna3579]

Did you try it? I just broken my wrists 3 times, so I am trying to find a solution that is not stop cycling. Thank you.

[@hugocardenastv333]

@@rikybologna3579 I did.. I have mixed feelings about it. Yes it helped me for on my bike faster than I thought BUT the design is horrible. Theres a tensioner con top of your wrist , I ended otb doing XC (not even Dh) used my hands to protect my face and ended up breaking my top gum bone. Along with 3 teeth from the root. It was a nightmare since insurance wont cover implants. The will cover a box. I'm 38 YO to freaking young to have box . Implants and gum rejuvenation costed around 24k $. So I would stick with something simpler and cheaper like troy lee ..

[@rikybologna3579]

@@hugocardenastv333 Thank you for your gently reply and I am very sorry for your troubles. Helthcare is quite whole for free here in Italy but some particular treatments those may require private healthcare, so my concern is not about money to be honest. I just had many heavy injuries along times (spine, wrists, shoulders, knees, etc.) but body never heal completely as you know and ages worse situation constantly, so it is time to find a way to whole avoid hard injuries o retire, because we have one body only that should endure for our entire lives even our passions. Do not think that is easy affirm this for me, but I can write a book on ages of injuries that can support my concern. After spine injury I spent 2 month blocked an many others wearing orthopedic corset, then I cannot do many things anymore, I do not walk perfectly as I did and I live with constant pain, just to mention some of my troubles developed. So, we have to dmfind a concrete way to protect us or retirement will be the only smart action before it will be too late.

[@sml2238]

I have radial nerve damage which is from a compound fracture in my upper arm but the nerve damage causes my wrist to have limited mobility and useable muscles. this brace looks like my ticket to help me ride and same for my mountain bike. I just ordered one up!

[@rmatvmc]

Nice! Let us know how you like it after you've ridden in it! I still use mine even though I don't have pain in my wrist anymore. I just like the extra support. - Chase

[@sml2238]

@@rmatvmc will do, so far my wrist dyno tells me it's the best wrist brace I've tried on thus far. ill ride this weekend and see how it fairs. one thing I wish they did was sell some fit kits for this thing. my wrists are fairly skinny and it would be nice to have not only just the one thicker backplate pad but potentially some velcro spacers to go underneath the top EVA padding. I suppose I could make my own to try and dial in the fit. I noticed the front part of the tendon backplate doesn't since quite as tightly as the rear portion. I think maybe some layers of velcro under the EVA pad might fix this. I'll give that a go I think too.

[@christopetkov4168]

can this be used for skateboarding (eg in a bowl) as well? i like the range of motion and am considering it in combo with a glove (as an alternative to common skateboarding braces, where I’ve read that lots of people have just broken their arms above the brace ..) thanks in advance for the answer!!

[@TwoWheelsAndAPonytail]

@@jordanJohnn wow! Get well soon! My recovery isn't good... 10 months later, the fracture won't heal.... So maybe I need the Matti Russe technique operation.... :( But I will wait for 3 more months...

[@TucsonDude]

@@TwoWheelsAndAPonytail I’m in the exact same position as you. The docs want to do a partial fusion, but I’m not onboard. My pain is not bad, but I’d like some more riding support. What I don’t likes about this brace is no thumb support. Have you tried it??

[@ArizonaDesertRat426x]

I also broke my scaphoid almost about 8 years ago. It has never healed and almost seems like it partially heals then re breaks itself. My doctor wants to perform surgery but I’ve heard almost nothing but horror stories about the surgery on it.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

@@jordanJohnn I'm coming off surgery from a broken wrist that required two plates to realign. I'm still early in the process, but I had already previously recovered 100% from a crushed patella that needed a silly amount of rebuilding, so recovery is absolutely possible if you do the work. You've already taken the first step by listening to your doctor and following their expert advice, now do the same in regards to your PT and you'll be golden. Surgery aside, I'm buying the brace. Cheers and speedy recovery.

[@elcucuygarage]

You're the man, Chase! Great video with awesome info.

[@rmatvmc]

Glad to help!

[@15typhoon]

I broke my left arm/ wrist when I was younger and now that has developed in arthritis in both wrists and thumbs which is getting worse. It's making it a huge problem riding my mv agusta f4-1000 super bike due to its awkward riding position and constant bent wrist and all my weight on them all the time. Would this be an option for me ? Not sure if they'd fit underneath my RST gloves. These do look sick though ! Super impressed !!!

[@trombolio]

I think you should ride with loose arms without putting any weight on handlebars. Hold with your legs and core muscles.

[@samfreezy123]

Does this work for bench pressing and similar workouts over 200lbs

[@rmatvmc]

Honestly, I can't give a good answer for that. Since it was not made for weight lifting, I am reluctant to tell you it would work well for that. I would reach out to Mobius directly and see what they say - Chase

[@ReviewThisTestThat]

I dont see how this prevents injury?

[@tidussj3]

Strongly considering purchasing one of these, will It hold up like a cast would if I fall? I want it to completely immobilize my wrist.

[@rmatvmc]

If you want it to, you can adjust it to allow very little hyperflexion movement with your wrist. Your wrist can still bend forward.

[@k10k13]

Wondering if you guys would do a review on the Leatt wrist braces?

[@soylientgreen7218]

I would like to see Mobius build a full Gauntlet wrist brace. Add a neck brace to that.

[@matigol360]

I had an injury on my left wrist doing downhill, this brace works for people who does Mountainbike?

Is it able to set a ROM for palmar flexion aswell? I had surgery for a torn SL ligament. Looking for a really good brace to keep me for hyperdorsiflexing and hyperpalmarflexinh my wrist to continue skateboarding

[@rmatvmc]

Nic, do it! I had a MTB crash about a month ago and I've been wearing mine. I couldn't ride without it right now. I'll keep wearing it even after for the added protection. Once you're riding, you hardly notice it's there. - Chase

[@domanater480]

Rocky Mountain ATV MC Rocky Mountain ATV MC that’s good to hear! (Not the crash lol) yeah same thing I came off sprained my wrist very bad and it showed me how delicate the wrists are and most of the time I tend to land on them so just a matter of time before a serious break. The added protection is worth the money I think. Thanks Chase !

I used mine for MTB for a long time after I sprained my wrist and it worked awesome! - Chase

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

My silliness is more supermotard than dirt, so my gloves have a bit more armor. I'm buying the brace regardless, but I was wondering how easily it would fit over a more tarmac oriented glove with hard armor, etc. I'll happily swap a glove to get a great fit, but I'd rather have the protection from being dragged across concrete if possible. Cheers.

[@FirstGendodgegarage]

Wearing mine as I watch this there’s frickin awesome

[@kings17court]

It's a shame that most of these are worn by people who have already suffered a wrist injury. Same thing with knee braces. These are great pieces of protection to hopefully PREVENT. Ouch, but $200 a piece is a little steep.

[@hugocardenastv333]

My wrist surgery costed 150k on the hospital ( paid by insurance) and 4k to the dr (Out of my own pocket) . I still own the anesthesiologist a couple of hundreds. Out if my pocket . Physical therapy has a cost of 300$ but my insurance pays most I only pay 10$. 200 $ a piece times 2 hands = 400$ that's only 10% of the cost of my Surgeon fee. Forget about the hospital. Therapy or even pain. MONEY IS NOTHING COMPARED TO HEALTH.

[@hugocardenastv333]

Oh yeah I permanently lost my feeling on the top of the thumb. Dr asked me why do I need this for? When I asked him about the feeling not coming back. 400 $ is nothing dude

[@crazydomy2]

I think its great product and ill probably buy one, but what if i got it and im falling on wrist and i cant move my wrist up so im going to brake my fingers??

[@rmatvmc]

I didn't feel like that would be a concern wearing this brace. Range of movement felt great. I'll take a broken finger over a broken wrist though haha!~Chase

[@myipad6547]

Does this limit your wrists bending downward motion ?

[@rmatvmc]

Not really. I've ridden with them and I didn't notice any restriction with the wrist bending down. It will limit the back motion, which it should, and does take a little getting used to but they work great.

[@soylientgreen7218]

Will this wear under a gauntlet for road racing?

[@rmatvmc]

I'm not sure. That would be a good question for Mobius.

[@soylientgreen7218]

Rocky Mountain ATV MC okay so take your advice thank you for the quick answer that was awesome. I Googled the number and called Mobius and they were very quick to answer. They couldn't answer my question though. They could only point me in the direction of the retailer to try the unit on with a gauntlet of my choice. It's kind of difficult here there's a long distance to the nearest retailers. If anybody else has the opportunity to try it on I would like to know. I did have a few other questions because I own the Mobius knee braces since they came out and I will not ride without them. They work and they are worth every penny. My question was other than if it fits inside a gauntlet. Does the wrist Flex the other direction. The answer was yes it is free of motion as much as you want and One Direction down or in. But is protected from over flexing back or out. So I asked will it protect against over flexion in wards. As in if I land in my wrist rolls in Will It protect that. And I was told no it only protects me One Direction. The Palms are open and it seems to me I could will nicely fit inside of the gauntlets and work together with the gauntlets. For street racing. Another option I've been looking at is snowboarding braces. And I told Mobius I would love to see a gauntlet type wrist brace a full hand juggernaut type glove. It would be cool if it was bulletproof to.

[@soylientgreen7218]

Rocky Mountain ATV MC it is far cheaper to protect it and to try to repair than rebuild it. Nothing works like the original equipment

[@rmatvmc]

I'm glad you were able to get a hold of them and get some questions answered. Remember, we have our fit guarantee. If you order the wrist braces and don't like the fit with your gloves, you can return them as long as they are unused. Or we will give you free shipping on your first exchange if there i another brace you want to try out. I too own the X8 knee brace and like you, i can't ride without them. They are awesome and so comfortable. Thanks for the info and happy riding.~Chase

Anyone use this for mountain biking? I’ve broken man hand recently and it was the 3rd time I’ve broken it. I broke my hand and did tendon damage and was wondering if this could help me in anyway in the future

[@rmatvmc]

I haven't personally, but I have a good friend that does for MTB and he loves it. These are primarily for wrist support so i don't how it would do for your hand though. Where on the hand did you break it?

[@slowpoke3538]

Palm free design is perfect for those times when you just have to pull off the trail and rub one out.

I want to get this since my wrists hurt something, but it's too much money for what it is

*Damian the goon,* This is an investment item. A good wrist brace is to help prevent future hand injuries. I beleive some insurances recognize these types of product under their HSA agreement. Thanks for watching.

really good try but they need to be two piece clamp design, not fit through, just too cumbersome and slow to remove.
