Leatt DBX Enduro 2017 Helmet Unveiled

August 24th, 2016

Leatt DBX Enduro convertible helmet launched

Enduro is still the buzz word in mountain biking, and 2017 products are dropping thick and fast. Last week we saw the Giro Switchblade – and now we see the awesome new Leatt DBX Enduro helmet launched.

The Leatt DBX Enduro is an open face enduro/trail helmet with a bolt on jaw guard, and it uses 360 technology that offers protection against rotational injuries.

Like most Leatt products – safety is paramount and the DBX Enduro is built for maximum protection in the types of crash you are likely to have.

Leatt DBX 3.0 Enduro helmet

Alongside the DBX 3.0 all-mountain open face helmet is the convertible DBX Enduro helmet.

Both helmets feature the same technology – but the Enduro offering has a bolt on jaw guard for racing and riding in more demanding terrain. It’s very simple to remove and can be stowed in your riding pack with ease – it definitely offers that extra protection you need for Enduro racing, but makes sense for a lot of modern mountain bike riding that doesn’t require a heavier, bulkier full face helmet.

Here are the main highlights:

Two click seperation of jaw guard via buckle
Magnetic Fidlock buckle
Breakaway visor
Goggle compatible – visor moves up out the way
