Product: Leatt GPX 5.5 Helmet

7 years ago | Words: Leatt

We all crash. Sometimes hard, and sometimes even harder! There is a solution to minimize the risk of a head and brain injury, however, and that is to get the best helmet you can find that reduces both rotation and impact energy to your head and brain.

Leatt is famous for their neck braces. They changed the industry’s perception of safety when they first entered the market in 2011. Since then, the American company has branched out in helmets, body protection, knee braces and riding gear. With a focus on creating leading safety products.

The new top-of-the-line Leatt GPX 5.5 composite helmet offers world-class protection with 360 ̊ turbine technology. This technology has two main advantages, namely the reduction of rotational acceleration to the head and brain and the absorption of energy upon impact at concussion level.

Leatt helmets also have a smaller outer shell volume, which benefits you by reducing the rotational acceleration to your head and brain in the case of a crash – proving that smaller shells are better. Leatt’s multi-density, V-shaped impact foam is molded directly to the outer shell, making it possible to reduce the outer shell size and achieve the highest level of impact protection at the same time.
Ventilation is another feature that most riders cannot get enough of. Look no further, as Leatt helmets provide ample ventilation and, most importantly; the vents work well even at low speeds.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Composite shell in three sizes.
  • 360° Turbine Technology.
  • Reduces up to 30% of head impact at concussion level.
  • A 10% smaller shell, transfers up to 20% less rotational forces to the neck, head and brain.
  • Multi-density, V-shaped impact foam moulded directly to the outer shell significantly reduces G-forces transferred to the head and brain.
  • New Dri-Lex® moisture wicking, breathable, anti-odour and washable inner liner.
  • Maximized ventilation optimized for off-road racing and effective even at very low speeds.
  • Visor with breakaway function for rotational reduction in a crash.
  • Emergency cheek pad removal.
  • Hydration ready (with optional hands-free kit.)
  • Certified and tested: ECE 2205.
