"The enduro-focused full face helmet is not a new concept now, but many brands are steadily crafting new offerings in this segment. Enjoying full head protection is great, but no one wants to climb in a heavy, hot lid. Leatt's new Gravity 5.0 full face offers advanced safety features and a BOA retention system at an impressively low weight."
"The mid/back section of the Gravity 5.0 helmet is made from thermoplastic carbon, and the top and chin bar are made from polymer. Leatt says the helmet's shell materials offer plenty of stiffness, which helps manage impact forces. They also say thermoplastic carbon is more eco-friendly than thermoset carbon. Beneath the shell is an EPS and EPO foam liner, and in-mold construction allows for smooth internal channeling to ensure excellent ventilation."
"If you've ever checked out Leatt's helmets, you might be familiar with their 360 Turbine impact protection. These Turbines act similarly to a MIPS liner, allowing some movement of the head inside the helmet to reduce rotational forces on the brain in a crash. For the new Gravity 5.0 helmet, Leatt has updated the Turbines, and they're now known as 360 Turbine Evo."
Leatt Gravity 5.0 is a lightweight, well-vented enduro-focused full-face helmet engineered for trail riding comfort while meeting downhill racing certifications (ASTM, EN, CPSC, NTA). The shell uses thermoplastic carbon in the mid/back and polymer for the top and chin bar to provide stiffness for impact management while claiming lower environmental impact than thermoset carbon. An EPS and EPO foam liner with in-mold construction enables smooth internal channeling for ventilation. Interior foam is thinner to improve cooling. The helmet incorporates an updated 360 Turbine Evo triple-density impact system and a BOA retention system.
