Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Helmets. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Leatt DBX 1.0 MTN Helmet.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Leatt DBX 1.0 MTN Helmet is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Helmets. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Helmets. Brands like Leatt are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Helmets category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Helmets.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

- Description: Leatt DBX 1.0 MTN HelmetThe DBX 1.0 MTN Helmet from Leatt is a super-stylish and brilliantly protective mountain bike lid. When you’re pushing your limits this is a helmet you can trust to offer outstanding protection should you push grip or skill levels just a bit too far. Leatt forms the DBX 1.0 MTN Helmet from an energy-absorbing Polymer Compound shell and in-moulded impact foam to take the hits of a crash when grip lets you down and gravity wins the battle to get you off your bike without any warning. Added to this is the exceptional 360° Turbine Technology – the helmet is lined with energy-absorbing discs and these work to reduce both the rotational acceleration to the head and brain and absorb energy upon impact at concussion level. Together with the outer shell, this Turbine tech ensures impact forces are minimised and you’re able to get up and keep riding after a crash. Even the visor is designed to break away in the event of a crash thus further reducing rotational forces on the head and brain – perfection.When it comes to comfort the DBX 1.0 MTN doesn’t disappoint, the moisture-wicking and breathable liner ensuring you don’t get overwhelmed with sweat during a riding session. It’s odour resistant and washable too, ensuring freshness every time you ride. With 14 vents and MaxiFlow air channels inside you’ll also enjoy a cooling breeze no matter what speed you’re riding, from the steady effort of an uphill to the rapid speed of a downhill.Features:Polymer Compound shell in three sizes360° Turbine Technology – Reduces up to 30% of head impact at concussion level- Reduces up to 40% of rotational acceleration to head and brainExtended rear coverage for added protectionAdjustable visorIn-moulded impact foam for great energy absorptionMaximized ventilation with 14 ventsOptimized for riding and effective even at low speedsMaxiFlow air channels in the impact foam – effective at any speedVisor with breakaway function for rotational reduction in a crashMoisture wicking, breathable, anti-odour and washable inner linerCertified and tested: AS/NZS 2063:2008, EN1078, CPSC 1203Weight: from 320g (0,70 lbs)Buy Leatt Protection from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
