POD Active Knee Braces

This should be a 5-star review for the K8 2.0 but held back by 2-star impact protection. Overall I love the fit and support the brace provides and feel it is a real benefit for the enduro moto riding I do. The downside is the impact protection for the knee is minimal even though it is CE rated. I have had a couple of slow speed falls and felt much more impact to my knee and resulting soreness afterwards than I would have with any other knee pads I’ve used. When you examine the pads you can see just how thin they are and therefore minimal amount of impact absorption. I recognize these braces are intended for multi sport, but would seriously advise Pod to offer an optional knee cup for moto with impact gel that would put it on par with its competitors and, most importantly, better protect its users.

Best knee braces on the market. Light, slim, comfortable, and affordable. And the best part you can rebuild them yourself. All parts are available and can order. Rebuild them to new in no time. I get years out of my knee braces. Worth the investment.

I knew I bought the right knee brace for me when I forgot I was even wearing them! Put them at the track around noon, rode on and on for 6 hours after which we were all tired. We didn't even feel like changing clothes for the 1.5 hour ride home. Loaded bikes up, took off boots and helmets and jumped in the truck. 30 minutes later I realized I was still wearing my pod k8 2.0. Continued on the car wash to clean the bikes and then get home. Unloaded and finally went inside. 8 straight hours! I was wearing knee brace socks but no sore spots, rubs or indentations in my skin. My right knee is a few mm wider than my left but customized fit with included pads fixed that. Oh yeah, then there's the protection these offer second to none. Love these and will wear them on every ride, every race! Great product. Great support and protection. Great fit! Well done guys!

I am using POD Knee braces for the last 5 years in enduro and trails riding activities and I am more then content with the performance and protection of these braces. What the experience made even more out of this world is the service/support level from POD Active Pty Ltd As with all good products you need to maintain them to keep them good and living in Cambodia, the challenge is to get the proper parts and advice. The level that POD Active Pty Ltd did respond to me to meet this challenge is better then the school book example and did impress me. The mind set shown is: How can we get there. Robert-Jan

I am a Physical Therapist Assistant who had a Right Total Knee Replacement (TKR) in August 2020 at 49 years old due to being bone on bone for years and missing out on a lot of things with my kids. Being a Therapist I researched all of the knee braces available that provide additional support after a TKR for more "aggressive" hobbies after my knee replacement. I sent an email through the PodActive website with questions for my particular upcoming situation and was sent a reply quickly from Brett Nicholas, the CEO of PodActive. Brett was great about answering all my questions about their Multisport brace for my particular circumstance. I have helped rehab a LOT of knee replacements as a Therapist and I didn't want just an ACL/MCL brace as some of the other braces offer for ligament injuries. After my surgery I ordered the K8 2.0 brace through an outlet here in the USA (Fly Racing / WPS) which my insurance (TriCare) paid for thanks to the brace being certified as a Medical Device with the FDA. Five months after my total knee replacement I am back riding my dirt bike and snowboarding with my kids which is one of the reasons I had my knee replaced at 49 years old. The brace offers great support and gives me the confidence to do the things I was missing out on. Brett in Australia and Bruce Parry at Fly Racing here in the US have been great answering any questions or concerns I had! As a Patient and a Therapist I can't say enough about the POD Active Brace and support!

POD Active customer service and support is top notch. I decided to give a pair of the K4's a go and was having trouble with the fit. My U.S. distributor, Western Power Sports, asked me to contact POD customer support to determine how the braces might be adjusted/configured to fit better. POD was very prompt in replying to my inquiry and proposed a solution to my fitment issues. After modifying the braces per POD's instructions, I've ridden 3 practice days and feel 100% comfortable in the K4's. I was considering trying a different brace but am glad I gave POD the opportunity to fine tune the fitment, they really are great folks who care about their product working for you. If you happen to be on the fence with respect to fitment, reaching out to the POD team is well worth your time. With respect to functionality, I've often suffered from sore knees (patella) following motos. The POD braces have minimized my post-race soreness by a significant margin - I'd say an easy 60% less perceived soreness. After getting used to the 'feel' of the braces, I have zero mobility issues on the bike. All in all, a solid purchase that does what it states along with excellent customer service - way to go POD!

I am extremely grateful that Brett from POD came to my house and fitted my sons K4 Pod knee braces and also my own K4 knee braces, I bought these braces from a reputable motorcycle distributor and the staff were helpful but appeared to be not so knowledgeable when it come to showing ourselves how to fit the knee braces correctly. I rang the POD company line and was greeted with assistance straight away from the receptionist who then placed my call through to Brett, who was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and walked me through the process of fitting braces correctly and using the correct lock out bands for the injuries that I have and also my son. The quality of the POD knee braces are of solid structure, We will be using these braces for Motocross / Enduro riding and also wakeboarding. I would refer any person to buy the POD knee braces because of the quality of the brace its self and also the after sale product service. I can not thank Brett or the POD knee brace company enough for their exceptional customer assistance and service. Thank you again Kind regards Mark

I purchased a K4 knee brace following an MCL injury that just wasn't getting better. Riding my horse was causing my knee to swell and it was very uncomfortable and would put me off riding. The armour parts used for motorbike riding clipped out as I didn’t need them and they felt less bulky under my riding pants. The great news is that after riding now my knee is not swollen and I feel that it is progressively getting better. Thanks, I wish I had tried one earlier.

I had a mate recommend POD braces due to extensive leg injuries I have sustained. They are sensational and worth the investment when they make safety and comfort so easy. I couldn’t ride my dirt bike without them. Secondly the customer service and follow up is absolutely first class. I had a product enquiry and had unbelievable customer service at their head office. Love that it’s a local business also (Geelong). Cant recommend highly enough. (I have 2 K8’s).
