First look: new helmets for 2022 from Leatt
Leatt has launched their new helmet line-up for 2022, the South African brand has upped safety standards to meet more rigorous European and DOT regulations plus introduced new designs across the model range.
With new designs to match the 2022 Moto Collection and a fresh focus on meeting safety standards no matter which side of the Atlantic (and which standard is mandatory), plus a free set of goggles with three of the four models, Leatt is making a statement with the new line-up of lids.
A “will to set the benchmark in helmet safety” means Leatt are now testing all their helmets, from the top of the range 9.5 model to the lowest priced 3.5 option, to meet the more rigorous ECE 22.06 European and the American DOT safety standards. The helmet design on all models also incorporates the 360º Turbine Technology that mitigates the rotational acceleration and the G forces in the event of a crash.
Add in there four EPS density of impact foam and a visor with a breakaway function that reduces the forces, plus all the helmets are designed to fit with a neck brace and are equipped an emergency release system. And that’s without mentioning the new colours...
