MFARJM Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Recently I tend to develop a lot of pain in my neck even after riding for just an hour. I used to have lower shoulder/back pain but have learned to add more center shock spring pressure to reduce steering effort. I've adjusted the handle bars different ways but can;t find the sweet spot. Does anyone use a neck brace for trail riding? What about a chemical heat wrap?

smclelan Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 What are you wearing for a helmet? I found the BRP BV2S was hard on the neck after a days riding. My new Oxygen helmet is considerably lighter and eliminates the soreness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 How about one of the horseshoe neck pads for Racing? I have one for my 8 year old nephew so it is not as brutal on his neck? Kinda like these: GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snobeeler Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Also, try sitting more upright if you can. Tilt head back ever so slightly. Will feel strange at first but then will feel normal. That helps me a lot. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFARJM Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Thanks gentleman. I were a BRP3. I think I'll weigh mine and compare it to an Oxygen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a buddy who's a doc of physical therapy and her mantra for that is: "EOS" May sound silly & simple, and it's easy to forget/neglect while riding, but when I pull back my posture to "ears over shoulders" all kinds of bad stuff in the neck & shoulders & arms goes away. 800steve, Florida Snowman and Snobeeler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
