The Mobius Technologies Story
We can do better
In 2012, Ryan Villopoto sustained an injury that required knee surgery. He was wearing the best available knee braces at the time. Ryan was introduced to the Mobius Knee Brace inventor Darren Fleming. He tested Darren’s new braces and loved them right away. While racing with the braces throughout the 2013 season, Ryan became part of the Mobius development team, winning nine championships including the AMA FIM Supercross World Championship four times strait!

CAUSE
There are many causes of knee injury, but the most common in motocross are lateral bending, lateral rotation (twisting), and hyper-extension. Combinations of lateral bending and rotation often occur together.
There are four cruciate ligaments in the knee joint which connect the tibia to the
femur and resist excessive bending, rotation, and hyper-extension. These ligaments are flexible and strong in tension, but when excessive bending,rotation, or hyper-extension force is applied to the knee joint it can exceed the ligaments tensile strength and cause injury or even rupture.
SOLUTION
Our Continuous Cable Routing System, (CCRS) externally reinforces all of these cruciate ligaments.
The continuous cable loop is twisted 180 degrees to form two interconnecting loops routed around the knee. When forces are applied to the knee joint, the CCRS becomes tight and resists excessive movement.As the cable system tightens, it squeezes the brace shells gripping the tibia and femur.
We have routed the cable in such a way that when the leg is fully extended the continuous cable progressively tightens resisting hyper extension, bending, and rotation. When the leg is in flexion, the CCRS cable is designed to progressively tighten as well, preventing rotation and bending.

THE PRODUCT
After seven extensive years of development, several generations of prototypes, and months of testing with bio mechanical engineers, industrial engineers, and an orthopaedic surgeon, Mobius had developed a patent pending revolutionary new concept in knee protection.
The Mobius X8 challenges every perception of knee and joint support developed over the past century. A combination of forward thinking and revolutionary design has yielded a brace that surpasses any offering on the
market in support, protection, comfort, and appearance. The Mobius X8, infinitely superior.
