Leatt is a brand built on a passion for rider safety and innovation, with a legacy that started in 2001 when Dr. Chris Leatt witnessed a tragic accident while riding motocross. Determined to develop a solution to prevent neck injuries, Dr. Leatt's dedication led to the creation of the revolutionary Leatt® neck brace, which transformed rider safety for both motocross and mountain biking. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a brand that would continually push the boundaries of protection technology for athletes.

A Legacy of Safety and Innovation

Leatt began with a single mission: to reduce neck injuries and improve safety for riders. Since selling the first Leatt® neck brace in South Africa in 2004, the company has expanded to offer a comprehensive range of safety gear for motorsports and MTB enthusiasts. Each product undergoes rigorous testing and development in Leatt’s world-class laboratories, ensuring they meet the highest safety standards, including CE certifications.

From their signature neck braces, which continue to evolve, to helmets, body protection, knee braces, and more, Leatt has revolutionised rider protection by incorporating advanced materials such as 3DF impact foam and 360° Turbine Technology. The latter, used in their helmets, reduces rotational and impact forces, providing crucial protection in the event of a crash.

From Head to Toe Protection

Leatt’s expansion into a full head-to-toe gear provider has been one of the most significant developments for the brand. From helmets designed with advanced impact technology to MTB shoes and protective bib liners, Leatt delivers safety without sacrificing comfort or performance. Products like the Leatt Gravity 1.0 MTB Helmet and Leatt DBX 2.0 Flat Pedal Shoes offer cyclists a combination of safety, durability, and style.

Leatt’s products have earned global recognition, with numerous design and innovation awards. The company’s commitment to quality and safety has made them a trusted name among both professional athletes and recreational riders.

Global Recognition and Awards

Leatt’s commitment to safety, style, and innovation has garnered attention from across the industry. In recent years, their products have received multiple awards, including the Design & Innovation Award for their MTB 3.0 Enduro Helmet and Mono Suit MTB HydraDriTM 5.0. These accolades highlight Leatt's consistent efforts to redefine safety gear for riders worldwide.

Protecting the Next Generation

Leatt’s dedication to safety doesn’t stop with adults. The company has expanded its range to include protective gear specifically designed for younger riders. Products like the Leatt Gravity 1.0 Jr MTB Helmet and Leatt All Mtn 2.0 Jr. MTB Shorts ensure that kids can ride with confidence, equipped with the same level of safety technology trusted by professionals.
