Leatt Junior MTB Gravity 1.0 Helmet

Leatt Junior MTB Gravity 1.0 Helmet

Made for the adrenalin rush of downhill mountain biking, the Leatt Junior MTB Gravity 1.0 Helmet has everything the young aspiring DH racer and trail ripping rider could want. And it won’t cost you a fortune either. 

If it’s the speed and heart-pumping exhilaration of downhill mountain biking that gets you pumped to ride, the full face Junior MTB Gravity 1.0 Helmet is just for you. Whether it’s a high-speed front-wheel washout, badly casing a jump or clipping a tree on a tight turn, whenever you brace for a head impact, the Gravity 1.0 has got you covered.

It’s the impact-foam core that makes sure harmful impact forces are soaked up and dissipated. Covering the core is a tough and durable polymer shell, brushing off those smaller impacts from overhanging branches and bushes while also delivering greater structural integrity in the event of a crash.

360 ̊  Turbine Technology

Working alongside the impact-absorbing foam is Leatt’s 360 ̊ Turbine Technology. This is focused on reducing the damaging effects of a crash on your brain. It works via 360 ̊moving discs, all made from an energy-absorbing material. These impart a reduction of rotational acceleration to the head and brain by up to  40%. The system also improves the absorption of impact energy  – it reduces peak brain acceleration by up to 30% at the impact speeds associated with concussion.

Ready to Roll

As you drop into trails or burst out of the start hut of a DH race, the Gravity 1.0 ensures there are no distractions to put you off the ride. Firstly, there are strategically placed air vents, allowing cool air to rush inside while also letting damp, moist air escape. 

A soft liner provides a snug and comfortable fit and it’s removable too, letting you give it a wash for the ‘as new’ fresh feel whenever you ride. The visor adds protection from sun and mud kicked up and it’s designed to break away in a crash, reducing forces on the head and neck. And for particularly gnarly trails, the 1.0 is neck brace compatible.
