If you look back on helmet technology from even just five years ago, you'll notice that most helmets were designed to absorb the force of straight-on impacts, but did not take into account the angular impacts that actually make up a large percentage of mountain bike crashes. As new technologies emerged, Leatt developed their own protection system known as 360-degree Turbine Technology, and incorporated it into their flagship helmet for trail riding--the DBX 3. 0 All Mountain Helmet. In addition to certified impact protection, you'll enjoy substantial ventilation, an easily adjustable fit, and a convenient Fidlock magnetic closure. 360-degree Turbine Technology disperses rotational forces with tiny, turbine-like circles made of Armourgel placed throughout the helmet. Armourgel turbines are relatively soft and pliable until impact, at which point they harden up and rotate ever-so-slightly to lessen the force applied to your cranium, should you take a nasty fall or crash into rocks and trees lining the trail. Don't just take our word for it, Leatt is claiming an impressive 30-percent decrease in rotational forces and a 40-percent reduction of rotational acceleration to the head and brain with this ingenious design. Combined with the up-to-date construction techniques, such as a lightweight polycarbonate shell and 3D in-mold impact foam, this helmet is set to conquer the most technical of trails without sacrificing protection.
