AS PRESCRIBED BY THE DOCTOR…

The VR46 Riders Academy was launched in 2014 by World Champ Valentino Rossi as a way for aspiring Italian road racers to graduate to the MotoGP World Championships. Riders accepted to the VR46 Academy receive everything needed to learn, progress, and succeed in the MotoGP paddock, including advice from “The Doctor” himself, Valentino Rossi. Described as a “Talent Factory”, the Academy provides Motocross and Flat Track training facilities and has produced some of the most talented Moto races including the current MotoGP World Champion, Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia and MotoGP Rookie of the year, Marco Bezzecchi.

The partnership between VR46 and POD Active came about through a shared goal of elevating athlete performance through proper training and injury prevention. POD Active’s action sports- specific designs emulate the human body’s natural movements while inspiring confidence with CE impact protection and Medically certified ligament protection.

“Knee Protection for the VR|46 Riders Academy that we can trust” – Valentino Rossi.

NEW HUMAN MOTION® HINGE

The intensity of modern sport places the human knee at significant risk which is why we developed our own Synthetic Ligaments™ to reduce the strain on yours. Inspired by the human body, our patented Human Motion® technology uses the power of Synthetic Ligaments™ engineered from Vectran Fibres™ (5X stronger than steel) to provide progressive, multidirectional motion control. The New POD Hinge Housing provides smooth contact surface against your knee avoiding abrasion and delivering new levels of comfort, performance & reliability.

REMOVABLE IMPACT GUARDS

CE impact tested & certified Full Coverage guards protect against impacts, handlebar strikes, plus enhance comfort when kneeling. The impact guards are easily removable to convert the brace for multi-sport use.

ADAPTIVE CUFFS

The Adaptive Cuffs were designed to conform to various leg shapes, while adapting to muscle movement. They accommodate muscle motion and disperse load reducing the risk of skeletal fractures.

LUXURY INTERIOR

Frame liners enhance comfort, reduce odor plus capture the interior straps and clips to anchor the brace to your leg, and stop brace migration during your ride. The Frame Liners are easy to remove and wash. Check our How-to video series to find how to maintain these and the rest of your POD knee brace.

QUICK-LOC

The brand new Quick-Loc Clip System & low profile interior straps anchor the brace to your leg quicker and easier than ever. No more waste of time before a ride!
