The Best Wrist Braces for Mountain Biking

Wrist injuries are common in mountain biking. The correct wrist brace can get you back on the trail safely with less pain after injury.

Over the past few years I have helped multiple mountain bikers in the clinic rehab a wrist injury. One key component of the return to trail phase is using an appropriate wrist brace to protect the wrist from vibrations and impacts as it takes time for a wrist to become desensitized after injury.

If you were to walk into a pharmacy and buy something off the shelf you're likely to be disappointed in the amount of support and mobility these basic braces give when you try to ride with them.

To help all mountain bikers choose a brace which will support their wrist but give them enough freedom of movement to shift gears and pull the brakes I filmed this video showing you my 4 favourite braces, why I like them so much, and which situation is best to use them in.
