Known for their neck-brace technology, Leatt launched its first helmet offering at Interbike and we’re stoked. Leatt designed the DBX SIX ZERO to be compatible with its other offerings, including neck braces, and comes with internally routed hydration valves — a quick release makes lift and lunch-stop helmet removal a lot less hectic. It’s lightweight, low-profile (adding to its safety and good looks) and comes equipped with “360 Turbines” — a Leatt technology that acts like MIPS by preventing injury from rotational forces, but goes a step further by dissipating impact energy. Look for this innovative full-face in the first quarter of 2015 ($499 for Carbon, $349 for Composite).
TGR Contributor Kristen Gross and TGR's own Jon Grinney plied the tradeshow floors between the carpeted walls, slot machines, and suspect plastic surgery of Las Vegas' Interbike 2014, pacing miles on velvet from booth to booth, hunting down the latest and greatest in mountain bike gadgetry and even entire mountain bikes!
Kristen winnowed down the tradeshow offering to the most thrilling for next spring, and today's Best Of gallery features offerings from Shimano, Kestrel, Camelback, POC, SPY, Leatt, and Intense Cycles. Enjoy!
