Leatt 8.0 Gravity Helmet
When you've raced professionally all over the world, you know what works and what doesn’t. For elite Australian MTB/BMX rider and coach Adam Carey, comfort and safety are non-negotiables when it comes to riding gear, especially his helmet.
And after some solid advice from two of his athletes. Ben Bullen-Aslin and Harvey Brooks. Adam took a closer look at Leatt. What caught his attention? The science. The tech. And the performance-driven, rider-focused design of the Leatt MTB Gravity 8.0 Helmet.
“I’ve had a few issues with helmet comfort recently, but once I read the research on Leatt’s safety tech, especially the suspension system. I was sold.” - Adam Carey
Next-Level MTB Head Protection
The Leatt 8.0 Gravity Helmet isn’t just another full-face helmet - it’s a game-changer in mountain bike safety and comfort. Built for those who love to push limits, this helmet is loaded with top-tier safety features trusted by the pros.
Why Adam chooses the Leatt 8.0 Gravity Helmet:
360° Turbine Technology
This is the brain-saver. Leatt’s exclusive turbine discs reduce both rotational acceleration and linear impact energy to the head and brain. In plain speak: better protection from crashes, big or small.
DH-Certified with ASTM Impact Rating
Adam races in the Superclass and Master divisions, so a helmet with proper DH certification is non-negotiable. The Gravity 8.0 is ASTM F1952-10 certified, meaning it meets the highest standards in downhill MTB safety.
Advanced Composite Shell
The lightweight composite shell keeps bulk down without compromising on impact resistance. Whether it's a fast technical descent or a bike park day, the helmet stays comfortable and secure.
High Ventilation + MoistureCool Liner
Forget that hot, suffocating full-face feel. The Gravity 8.0 is built with 22 vents and a washable, anti-odour MoistureCool liner, so your head stays cool when the ride gets wild.
Fidlock® Magnetic Buckle
Easy on, easy off - even with gloves. The Fidlock buckle is a small thing that makes a huge difference when you're between laps or runs.
