Default Knee brace

Hey how is everyone? Im 52 years old and have rode motor cross dirt bikes and mostly quads now for many years I have had a few knee surgeries ( none due to riding ) so I took about 10 years off and now im riding regularly everyday I have a 2003 Kawasaki Lakota KEF 300 sport and a 86 Suzuki LT quadrunner 230 shaft I mostly ride the Kawasaki my kids ride the Suzuki so my knee has been killing me from standing up while going over woppies in the trails where I ride. Can anyone recommend a good knee brace I have seen some they are 6-700$ i really dont want to spend that much I know u get what u pay for but does anyone use any that are more affordable?? Thanks in advance

You should take 3 measurements on your knee for proper fit.





Are you looking for simple compression or one that offers structural support? Be sure to check return policies too in case it doesn't fit. Some places will say it's a medical device and not returnable.

My wife was told she needed one by our orthopedic surgeon. Supposed to have been custom made, but when we got to the place that had it, it was out of the box. Good brace, not what he wanted. I remember seeing the exact same one on amazon for about $120. Can't remember the name,
but it was made very similar to this one. but it was made very similar to this one.

I need a actual structural support I have 4 screws in my knee had 5-6 surgeries over 25 years ago ACL, meniscus, knee cap tightened and a few other things done and I know over the years I have some more problems with it definitely bone on bone I have seen some really good ones on amazon but im not a orthopedic so its so hard to tell by pics and description I have been looking at buyer reviews thanks for the info and measurement page I will post when i get one I actually need 2 so hopefully I will find one without dropping 5-700$ thats just crazy some of the prices on the Dirt-bike and atv parts companies want

Im a 61 yr old dirt bike rider who Im sure could use knee surgery in both knees. I chose to buy a pair of lightly used EVS RS-7 knee braces to ride in instead. I have had them for 5-6 yrs now and while they are not as comfortable as normal knee pads. My knees feel much better after riding with them than riding with just knee pads. I bought mine on ebay about 1/2 the price of new.

The RS9 has preplaced the RS7.. Reasonably priced. Be sure to order the correct size. I have large calves so I had to order the next size up than if I had just measured my thigh's.
