The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (i.e. a paralyzing injury) while riding motocross or off-road. While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, due to the varied dynamics of accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a career ending neck injury, although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases. The BNS comes with its own carrying bag for extra convenience.

Function:

Functions by providing an alternate load path
If the helmet is in contact with the BNS at the moment of impact, the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which may prevent a fracture from occurring
BNS also helps reduce the chance of muscular injuries associated with the extremes of head movement
While it is not possible to eliminate the risk of any form of injury, the BNS is designed to help prevent the most serious damage and minimize the risk of collaternal injury as the impact load is channeled away from the neck
When compared to soft "neck roll" devices, the protection provided is significantly better, as soft devices simply deform on impact, offering no protection against compressive forces

Features:

Pivot Key System: A special magnesium key located at the rear allows for convenient front opening of the device and quick dismantling in an emergency
Fitting System: A fine adjustment of shoulder height allows for a more personal fit, particularly for individuals with shorter necks
Rear Stabilizer Failure System: In the event of large loads being channeled onto the rear stabilizer (the part that sits on your back) there are a number of deliberate bending and fracture points designed to relieve extreme loads being transmitted down the back
Collar Bone Preservation: All parts in contact with the body use an expanded foam compound to distribute the impact over the widest possible area, yet still be lightweight
A continuous frame member runs over the shoulders, and there are no no metal pins sitting directly above the shoulders that could become dislodged during an accident
Carbon composite frame for maximum stiffness and minimum weight

Included:

The BNS is supplied with the X-Strap system which allows a small, light strap (worn over or under the jersey) to secure the device to the rider
Deluxe carrying case included
