I saw these braces a few weeks ago but i really wanted to wait for a review just in case. I appreciate you guys being the first good review out there! Please consider using the knee brace irl and posting your experience with it ?
Yeah, this would be a good option as an entry level brace. I can't say if it will support/protect your knee any more or less than another brace, but for the price, it's a great brace. I have seen a few people have issues with durability. - Chase
To me, this is much closer to a premium knee brace than the Z-frame is. The Z-frame feels more like a knee guard to me than an actual knee brace. - Chase
It's been a while since I tried on the Bionic 7, but I know the 7 had durability issues but I haven't heard much on these yet. I've used mine a couple times and only thing I've noticed is the lower knee guard was rubbing some. The other big factor between the RK-1 and the new RK-7 is the RK-1 does NOT come with any extra pads for inside the hinge and only has two sizes vs four with the RK-7. Just means that you'll get a more tailored fit with the RK-7 but they are double the price. - Chase

@rmatvmc Thank you Chase

Looks like a great product
Which knee brace is better in your opinion? Old Apinestars bionic 7 or new one Apinestars RK-1 PLASMA?
