Sea Otter 2017 – Leatt DBX 3.0 All Mountain Helmet

by Brian Mullin on April 28, 2017

Leatt gave a unique Pub Pedal launch along Cannery Row in Monterey of the new DBX 3.0 All-Mountain helmet. The helmet is stock full of high technology borrowed from Leatt’s full faced brethren along with venting and adjustment systems applicable for the All Mountain rider. A big shout out to the Leatt staff for the fun and entertaining Pub Pedal crawl!

The DBX 3.0 All-Mountain bicycle helmet is designed to carry you safely across any terrain. The combination of 360º Turbine Technology and Armourgel cushioning material gives you premium protection to help you push your limits. An energy absorbing material that is flexible in its natural state, Armourgel hardens upon impact, so the faster or harder you fall, the better it works. Ten turbines made of this Armourgel are set inside the helmet. This technology helps with brain and rotation safety and reduces the head impact at concussion level by up to 30% and the rotational acceleration to the head and brain by up to 40%.

The DBX 3.0 All Mountain Helmet comes in Small (51-55cm), Medium (55-59cm) and Large (59-63cm) sizes, Green, Black, Blue, Orange and Grey and retails for $169.99.

Thoughts => The DBX 3.0 All-Mountain is a comfortable helmet with excellent coverage over the ears and down the neck. The 18 ventilation holes provide lot’s of air movement, even during slow speeds, so I never felt my head overheating. The interior was deeply padded adding to the comfort level, and the Fidlock magnetic closure system for the chin strap worked like a charm as did the rear adjustment fitting wheel that was easy to use on the fly. The innovative 360º Turbine Technology is an incredibly trick system, and I am glad it’s there for my safety and protection whenever I happen to crash.
