Leatt Corporation, a global developer of personal protective equipment for all forms of sports, has launched the new 2017 Bicycling Range, expanding its existing product portfolio of protection gear, backpacks, and gloves to include all-new helmets and, for the first time, a line of cycling apparel designed for a wider group of mountain bike riders.

Two models of the DBX 3.0 helmet have been launched, an All-Mountain half shell and an Enduro version with a removable chin bar that allows riders to easily go from uphill to downhill riding in two clicks. The new 2017 DBX Enduro and All-Mountain helmets incorporate ground-breaking 360° turbine technology set inside the helmet and is made of 3D moulded Armourgel which stiffens on impact. The turbines deform to absorb both vertical and rotational impact forces during a fall. The helmets are further equipped with 18 ventilation vents, a magnetic Fidlock buckle, easy custom fitting with the turn of a dial, and an adjustable breakaway visor.

Leatt's 2017 technical apparel line features various styles, including four styles of jerseys, three styles of shorts, and two styles of jackets covering a wide range of price points. The 5.0 All Mountain Jersey range includes features such as tape-bonded seams for maximum comfort, quick dry Miharo material, a neck collar designed for use with and without a neck brace, a silicone lined jersey designed to grip the wearer's shorts and zipper pockets with microfiber goggle wiper. Leatt shorts have a strong 3D pre-curved fit, cycling specific seamless crotch, and are also available in waterproof hard-shell versions.

The existing gloves and backpack collection has also been expanded for 2017. Overall four glove styles offer different levels of protection, utilising over-injected Armourgel panels. Unique to all of them is a Nanogrip palm made of fibres that are 7,500 thinner than human hair. Nanogrip is very breathable and robust like a kevlar-blend and eliminates the need for rubber prints, as it grips well, even when soaking wet.

An all-new Hydration Cargo 3.0 DBX backpack has also been launched, that offers ten litres of storage room, an additional three litres' bladder, a CE Level 2 back protector, and Leatt's unique chest harness system for a solid fit. (GK)
