Description
The Youth Neck Support is a lightweight MX neck protector engineered for young or smaller-framed off-road riders, working with the helmet to help manage impact forces and limit excessive head movement. Constructed from impact-tested injected polymer with a rear stabilizer system, it channels energy away from the neck and spine while maintaining mobility and integrates seamlessly with Alpinestars Youth chest protectors.
Key Features
Quick release closure system: allows fast removal in an emergency, supporting safer rider assistance when time matters.
Youth protector compatibility: integrates with the A-5s Youth Body Armor and Youth Bionic Action Jacket for a more complete off-road protection setup.
Standalone strap use: works independently with the supplied YNS A-strap to secure the support for flexible everyday riding use.
Protection
Category 2 PPE in accordance with EU 2016/425.
The rear stabilizer system helps keep the support in position and is designed to channel extreme energy loads away from the spine by transmitting them across the shoulder to help avoid serious spinal injury.
Construction
The YNS frame is constructed from an injected polymer compound and is extensively impact tested across a range of off-road surfaces and temperatures.
The anatomically profiled frame is shaped to maintain a close helmet interface while preserving the overall structure’s rider-friendly geometry.
Ultra-lightweight EVA foam is used on the underside of the support for cushioning, positioning, and load distribution across a wider contact area.
The Quick Release Closure system is integrated into the construction for fast engagement and straightforward removal.
The rear stabilizer system is built into the support to hold the brace in position and to route structural loads across the shoulder area.
An easy-to-use strap system is supplied to secure the device over or under the jersey.
The Youth Neck Support is compatible with the A-5S Youth Body Armor for integrated use, and the variant weight is approximately 1,000 g.
