The LEATT Motocross Helmet 8.5 V24 represents the pinnacle of safety, design, and comfort, engineered with riders of personal electric vehicles (PEVs) in mind. At Max Blinker, we are thrilled to introduce this state-of-the-art helmet that brings together advanced technology and thoughtful design to offer unparalleled protection for the modern PEV enthusiast. Whether you're zipping through city streets on your electric scooter, tackling rough terrains with your electric unicycle, or enjoying a leisurely ride on your e-bike, this helmet has got you covered.

Unmatched Safety and Cutting-Edge Technology

When it comes to protective gear, safety is our utmost priority. The LEATT 8.5 V24 helmet stands out due to its use of the revolutionary 360° Turbine Technology. This innovative system dramatically reduces the risk of severe head and brain injuries. The turbines are collapsible structures designed to deform upon impact, allowing for both linear and rotational force absorption. This technology ensures that the inner liner and shell can move relative to each other, reducing the peak rotational acceleration transferred to the brain.

Extensive testing has shown that helmets equipped with 360° Turbines reduce mean peak rotational head acceleration significantly. In oblique impact tests, these turbines have demonstrated a 50% lower risk of injury compared to similar helmets without the technology, making it an essential feature for anyone serious about their safety.

Elegant and Functional Design

The LEATT 8.5 V24 helmet is not just about function; it's also about form. Constructed from a composite shell, the helmet combines robustness with a lightweight structure, ensuring wearers can enjoy both safety and comfort. The helmet includes an X-Static interior liner that is both removable and washable. This liner boasts anti-odor, moisture-wicking properties that enhance user comfort even during long rides.

Large ventilation channels are ingeniously integrated into the helmet design, maintaining optimal airflow to keep your head cool. These channels are particularly beneficial at low speeds, which are common in urban PEV use. Additionally, the helmet’s peak features a Breakaway Function, designed to detach upon impact, mitigating the force transferred to the head and neck.

Ultimate Comfort for Every Ride

Comfort is as crucial as safety for any rider, and the LEATT 8.5 V24 excels in this area. The helmet includes a modular Pro-Fit comfort liner that conforms to the rider's head shape, providing exceptional stability and comfort. This feature is especially critical for PEV riders who might encounter varying conditions and terrains.

The helmet's adjustable fit system ensures a snug fit, reducing the likelihood of movement during rides. The breathable and moisture-wicking liner materials help manage sweat and reduce skin irritation, making it perfect for long-distance rides or commutes.

Ideal for PEV Enthusiasts

While originally designed for motocross and MTB, the LEATT 8.5 V24's features are perfectly suited for PEV riders. If you find yourself frequently navigating busy streets, embarking on off-road adventures, or simply enjoying a tour around your neighborhood, this helmet offers the blend of advanced safety and comfort you need.

Choosing the LEATT 8.5 V24 means investing in a helmet that keeps you protected while enhancing your riding experience, regardless of the landscape or speed. Certificates like the ECE 22.06 add an extra layer of assurance, emphasizing this product's adherence to rigorous safety standards.
