The
CTi2 fit like a glove.
At
a 90 degree angle the CTi2 offers very little impact
protection above the knee.
The back of the CTi2 has 4 plush Velcro
straps to secure it to your leg.
As
you can see the CTi2 is a true work of art.

Initial
Impressions:
1) Out of the box... WOW! very trick
2) 27 oz. on my scale and felt very rigid
3) Not easy to adjust extension stops.
4) VERY comfortable and slim, great fit
5) Fits well with boots!
6) Does not catch on pants liner
7) Very high quality... everywhere
8) The straps are plush, no pinching
9) Tote bag included
10) Knee sleeve to be worn under the brace is nice
Weight
lifting and running:
During
leg workouts and running the CTi2 feels great, no migration
down the leg. The Edge is slightly more comfortable
but but the CTi2 feels more stable, over all the two
braces are very similar. Smooth fluid motion in the
hinges and the straps have never once pinched my leg.
When you reach full extension the brace snaps abruptly
and assures you that it will not go any further, very
reassuring. As with the Edge the knee sleeve that is
worn under the brace is very comfortable for the first
hour or so after that it gets HOT. Even at rest the
sleeve will cause your leg to become hot and sweaty.
I have stopped using the sleeve all together. It is
almost as comfortable without and MUCH cooler.
Riding:
The brace fits well under normal riding gear (2000
MSR Rage pants). Pinching the tank with the brace
feels natural because it is so slim on the inside
of the knee. It does not tear up tank or shroud graphics
to my surprise, a slight dull spot is all that I have
noticed. Range of motion was very good. I am able
to get my leg up to kick start the bike with ease.
Inside of 10 minutes on the bike I forgot I had it
on. The knee cup is the weak link on this brace, slightly
less gap than the Edge but still the weak. There is
a huge gap above the knee that is vulnerable to impact.
Support:
The brace felt strong molded to every curve of the
leg. And if you are recovering from an injury the
one year fit warranty is nice because when you rebuild
muscle that has atrophied Innovation will remake the
brace to suit you because an accurate fit is key to
maximum support. There is no doubt in my mind that
this brace would have saved me from an ACL injury...
if I had only known then what I know now, but hind
sight is 20/20.
Maintenance:
Wash with mild detergent let air dry. Water sport
friendly.
