Combining advanced design, innovative materials, and high-performance features, it delivers unmatched strength, comfort, and protection for riders. Here's an overview of the key features that make the K8 3.0 stand out:

Key Features:

• Forged Carbon Frame & Adaptive Cuff
  • Forged Carbon Composite: The frame is made from exclusive military-grade carbon fiber sheets, which are pressed, heated, and molded for optimized strength while significantly reducing weight. This gives the brace a robust, lightweight structure that offers superior protection without the bulk.
  • Adaptive Cuff: The Adaptive Cuff is designed to conform to various leg shapes, enhancing comfort and allowing the brace to accommodate muscle movement. It also helps to efficiently disperse load, further improving overall support and comfort.
• Adaptive Lower Frame
  • Industry-First Design: The K8 3.0 features POD's Adaptive Lower Frame, which secures and supports the leg while accommodating its movement. This innovative frame design reduces the risk and severity of rotational forces by 54%.
  • Flexible TPU Rubber Bridge: The lower frame includes a flexible rubber bridge, enabling it to adapt to different leg shapes and further enhancing comfort.
  • Composite Struts: Rigid composite struts run down each side of the tibia (shin bone), offering traditional extension and flexion control.
• re((SPOᴎSE)) Impact System
  • CE Level 2 Certification: The K8 3.0 features a CE Level 2 certified Full Coverage Impact System made from Viscoelastic Polymer. This proprietary material helps:
  • Minimize shock
  • Lessen impacts
  • Reduce vibration
  • Disperse energy
  • Temperature Versatility: The re((SPOᴎSE))™ Impact System performs across a wide range of temperatures, maintaining its effectiveness regardless of environmental conditions.
• Human Motion® Hinge, Improved
  • Synthetic Ligaments™: The Human Motion® Hinge uses Synthetic Ligaments™ to provide controlled, multi-directional motion, ensuring enhanced knee protection and mobility.
  • Improved Range: The new hinge offers a greater range of flexion (from 118° to 134°), along with a stronger pre-curved ligament.
  • Increased Durability: The hinge design has been improved to increase durability, with thicker walls for added protection.
  • Extension Control: Two progressive extension controls dampen the movement, protecting the knee ligaments by controlling the knee’s extension between 10°-20° and 20°-30°.
• Hex Grip Comfort Liner
  • Enhanced Comfort: The Hex Grip Liners enhance comfort by absorbing impact and vibration, helping to alleviate odor while keeping the brace securely in place.
  • Temperature & Chemical Resistance: The liner is resistant to weather, chemicals, oils, and fuels. It also resists water absorption, making the K8 3.0 ideal for multi-sport use.
  • Airflow Management: Embossed channels circulate air, helping manage temperature during intense activity.
• Quick-Loc Clip System
  • Easy Fit: The Quick-Loc Clip System and low-profile straps make it easier and quicker to secure the brace, saving you valuable time before your ride.
• K-Series 3.0 Strap Set
  • Secure Fit: The new strap system ensures a better fit, with features like soft-touch ends, permanent slots to reduce migration, and clips that keep the straps securely in place.
• Medical Device Certification
  • The K8 3.0 has been certified as a medical device designed to prevent injuries to the knee and leg, including ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL, and rotary joint instabilities.
