Three support levels. Adjustable compression. One brace.
A basic fixed-support brace gives you one built-in support setup. The Elite Pro gives you more control: change between Light, Medium and Maximum rear support systems, then adjust the compression to suit your fit and how firmly you want the brace to hold your lower back.
One support setup.
If the brace feels too flexible or too rigid for the way you ride, you are generally limited to the support built into that brace.
Light + Medium + Maximum support + adjustable compression.
Swap the rear inserts to change the support: flexible Light, semi-rigid Medium or rigid contoured aluminium Maximum. Then use the adjustable compression straps to fine-tune the fit and firmness around your lower back.
Support your lower back through the positions and movements that can make cycling harder.
Cycling can mean extended seated time, a forward-leaning posture, vibration and repeated pedalling. If those positions or movements aggravate lower-back-related pain, the Elite Pro is designed to provide adjustable support and compression while you ride, provided it remains comfortable and does not interfere with pedalling, breathing, bike control or normal movement.
Longer rides
Support and adjustable compression for extended seated time, which may help make longer rides more manageable when lower-back-related pain is getting in the way.
Commuting
Choose a support level and compression that helps your lower back feel supported while moving between cycling, walking, standing and everyday activity.
Road and trail riding
Change the support level to suit different riding positions, surfaces and movement demands while keeping the brace comfortable and avoiding unnecessary restriction of normal riding motion.
Bike and gear handling
Use the support level and compression that feel appropriate when moving bicycles, loading racks or handling cycling equipment before and after the ride.
Your back does not always need the same level of support.
That is the advantage of the Elite Pro. A fixed-support brace gives you one setup. The Elite Pro includes three interchangeable rear support systems, letting you move from greater flexibility to firmer support without replacing the brace. Adjustable compression straps then let you fine-tune the fit and compression around your lower back.
Test the fit on the bike.
Check the brace while stationary before beginning a ride. You should be able to pedal, steer, brake, look around and breathe normally.
Set it before the ride
Recheck it during the ride
Support your back. Keep riding.
Change both the support level and compression as your needs change, whether you ride recreationally, commute, use an e-bike or spend longer periods on the road or trail.
Back pain, cycling and the Elite Pro.
Can wearing the Elite Pro help when lower back pain is making cycling harder?
It may help. The Elite Pro is designed to support the lower back and help relieve lower-back-related pain. It can be worn while cycling when it remains comfortable and does not restrict pedalling, steering, braking, breathing, observation or access to controls.
Why choose the Elite Pro instead of a basic fixed-support back brace?
Because you are not locked into one support setup. The Elite Pro includes Light, Medium and Maximum interchangeable support systems, plus adjustable compression. You can change from more flexible to firmer support and then fine-tune the compression to suit your fit and riding needs.
Which support level is best for riding?
Light support provides the most flexibility. Medium support may suit riders wanting more firmness. Maximum support is more rigid and should not be used if it limits the riding position or normal movement.
Does a back brace replace correct bike setup?
No. It does not replace appropriate bike fit, gradual conditioning, riding technique, rest, suitable equipment or professional medical advice.
Lower back pain? Choose support you can change.
The Elite Pro is designed to support the lower back and help relieve lower-back-related pain. Unlike a basic fixed-support brace, every Elite Pro includes Light, Medium and Maximum interchangeable support systems plus adjustable compression, with nine sizes from Small through to 6XL.
The Elite Pro is an optional personal back-support product. It does not replace correct bicycle setup, suitable equipment, safe riding practices, gradual conditioning, activity-specific instruction or professional medical advice. Stop using the brace if it causes pain, numbness, tingling, breathing restriction or interferes with bike control or normal movement.
