Modern head and neck restraint systems do a great job in reducing head and neck injuries caused by the whiplash motion generated during an impact. An issue most restraints don’t address is concussion prevention. Bumpy tracks, a bumping a guardrail, or other low-impact events can be enough to cause a concussion or other brain injury, even if you’re wearing a helmet (which you should).

The Meru Safety Ascent Carbon Brace is designed to protect your neck and reduce the chances of getting a concussion. It features Meru’s Inertia Dampening System (IDS) that uses a speed-sensitive dampener mounted on the Ascent’s hinged collar and headrest to progressively slow helmet movement. This helps spread impact forces over a longer period of time, greatly reducing the chance of getting a concussion. This Meru Safety video shows you how IDS works.

Other features include:
• Hollow carbon fibre collar with non-slip belt grips
• Custom moulded honeycomb infill padding with Nomex-wrapped covers oversized for maximum protection
• Moving headrest works with all seating positions
• Fire-resistant Kevlar® webbing sliding tether with quick-click magnetic M6 stainless steel helmet mounts
• Magnetic locating helmet anchors

The Meru Safety Ascent Carbon Fibre Brace is SFI 38.1-approved and weighs approximately 1kg. It’s available in small/medium and large/extra-large sizes.
