When it comes to gravity Mountain Biking, riders want a helmet that can do more than just meet safety standards. Comfort, ventilation, weight, fit, and confidence all play a role when racing, riding the bike park or hitting your local steeps. That’s exactly where the Leatt Gravity 5.0 helmet positions itself.
Designed as a race-ready full-face helmet, the Gravity 5.0 introduces technologies aimed at improving both protection and rider comfort, while keeping overall weight low.
Purpose-built for aggressive riding, the Gravity 5.0’s clean profile and lightweight construction immediately stand out, especially considering the amount of protection packed into the design.
Leatt uses a two-piece shell construction, combining a lightweight polymer upper with a thermoplast carbon rear shell and polymer chin bar. The result is a helmet that feels solid without carrying the bulky weight.
One of the standout features is the BOA FS2 Fit System, making it Leatt’s first full-face helmet to integrate this technology. The BOA system provides a 360-degree wrap fit with micro-adjustability. Combined with dual-position cheek pads, it allows riders to dial in a much more secure and personalised feel.
This translates into noticeably reduced movement at speed and a more balanced fit across rough terrain. Whether charging through rock gardens or hitting jump lines, the helmet feels planted without becoming uncomfortable over time.
