Leatt, the highly-regarded designer of protective riding gear that looks as good as it performs, has a host of updates across its 2017 product line.

Key changes include the addition of the new DBX 3.0 Enduro helmet, which uses a 360-degree Turbine design where a series of small discs on the underside of the helmet mitigate rotational impact forces. Additionally, this new helmet features an easily removable chinbar, which is operated via two simple snaps.

Leatt also introduced lower-profile versions of its popular gloves, with minimal and lightweight brush guard factors and Nanogrips — a pliable palm-lining material that’s constructed of individual strands that are 7500 times thinner than a piece of human hair.

Also featured are new protective jackets, including the 3DF Air-Fit Chest Protector that has Level-1 CE certification for impact protection. Finally be on the look out for new colors and graphics on the Five.Five neck braces, and plus new riding jerseys and shorts.

Leatt DBX 3.0 Enduro Helmet

The DBX 3.0 helmet is designed to carry you safely across any terrain. The combination of 360 ̊ Turbine Technology and Armourgel cushioning material gives you premium protection to help you push your limits. An energy absorbing material that is flexible in its natural state, Armourgel hardens upon impact, so the faster or harder you fall, the better it works. Turbines made of this Armourgel are set inside the helmet. This technology helps with brain and rotation safety and reduces the head impact at concussion level by up to 30% and the rotational acceleration to the head and brain by up to 40%.
