Versatile helmet covers trail, enduro and downhill riders with interchangeable protection
Leatt has released its new 3.0 Enduro Helmet, which it says is the most versatile helmet on the market, combining three types of lid in one.
The new enduro helmet can be worn in three different guises; open face, full face and ‘jet style’ – which features over-the-ear protectors.
The 3.0 Enduro Helmet is priced at £249.99/$289/€269.99 and vailable in ‘pine’, ‘titanium’, white and ‘stealth’ colourways.
Leatt says the helmet is available now through its dealership network.

Leatt says it wanted to provide a variety of protection options with the 3.0 Enduro Helmet, giving riders an adaptable mountain bike helmet for trail, enduro and downhill riding.

The chin bar, which turns the helmet into a full-face design, is certified to the ASTM F1952–10 standard, which means the American Society for Testing and Materials rates the helmet for downhill usage.
Leatt claims the helmet weighs 690g for a size small, including the chin bar.

The brand says the light weight is thanks to the polymer shell, which features a PowerBridge construction that sees reinforcement added across the top of the helmet for additional shock absorption.
The helmet can be converted by pushing a button on the side, which enables the chin bar or ear covers to be removed or added.
360ºTurbine tech and Fidlock fastener

Leatt’s 360ºTurbine technology enables the inner of the helmet to rotate on impact.
The brand claims this reduces peak brain acceleration by up to 30 per cent at impact speeds associated with concussion.
The system is similar to Multi-directional Impact Protection, or MIPS, which uses a similar approach, where the liner is allowed to move within the helmet for shock absorption.

The 3.0 Enduro Helmet has 20 vents and an anti-odour washable lining, which Leatt says keeps the helmet cool at slow speeds and smelling fresh.
The vents on the rear of the helmet also double up as a glasses holder for when the sun goes in.
A Fidlock buckle is used to fasten the helmet, and is available in three sizes; small, medium and large, spanning 51cm to 63mm head circumferences.
