That strap seem rather inconvenient, although I have zero experience with full face helmets. Been on market for one though. Otherwise great looking helmet. Great review!
Your content is so detailed, thank you. I have a Super DH and it is okay but... Are you aware of any bike helmut(s), regardless of use case, that use a strap that's more like those used on motorcycle helmuts (especially with removable chin guard)? I don't like the two thin Y-strap that is in front and back around the ear, the complicated adjustment, etc. Motorcycle helmuts often include wide/thick padding between the strap and neck, and/or quick-release like a zip-tie. These are so much better, and I don't know why bike helmut manufacturers won't innovate. Thanks.
@@chefgav1Really ? i am curious. is there a test done on it though ? I know mips aren't perfect either. I had a mips helmet and i still got a concussion and it took me 1 week to actually ride again.
@@chefgav1 Well i guess, neither mips or the turbine are perfect with head crashes. 10% claim for reduction of concussion is still quite low for the extra pricing. but then again better than nothing. i feel that even if there is no mips or turbine, wearing a helmet still helps. rather a concussion than a cracked head.
@@zefe3886 MIPS takes the top 10 spots. Depends on helmet. The Scott Spunto had a side 16% reduction concussion risk or the Rudy Project Racemaster had a 74% reduction compared to non mips.Lazer Z1 was 50%.. Not sure where 10% came from.MIPS has proven time and time again to be superior to others. Most embarrassing by far is the wavecell which claimed to be 200times better than MIPS and even won TIME safety invention of the year.Bontrager talked up the technology to be the biggest invention in helmet safety ever but ended up being an embarrassing flop.The Bontrager Rally WaveCel was sent off to testing with the exact same helmet but in MIPS but the MIPS version dominated the wavecell in every metric to which then caused Bontrager to remove the rally mips model very quickly.
Would you say its more protective then the Gravity 4.0? I have a 4.0 now and I'm looking for more of a true DH helmet for park days, looking at the Gravity 6.0 and 100% Aircraft 2. I know you can't safety test the helmets, but still appreciate your opinion. Love your reviews, thanks!
The Gravity 4.0 and Gravity 6.0 are very much the same helmets. The only real difference being the weight due to the different shell materials. If you don't absolutely need to replace the 4.0, upgrading isnt necessary. Now if you had the Enduro 4.0, then absolutely an upgrade would be warranted. That said, between the Gravity 6.0 and Aircraft 2, Gravity 6.0 all day...even though the aircraft 2 helmets have a much more refined look and better paint jobs. From a safety standpoint, the Leatt helmet is a night and day better option.
Still haven’t seen you look at the Fly Werx R. Arguably one of, if not THE safest helmet on tue market with their RHEON protection. Would love to hear your thoughts on it Vs this current Leatt
It’s been a while since we’ve ridden one. Fly seems to make very little effort into the bike space and to be honest, we even forget about the brand as an option until someone mentions them. We’ll try to get one and see how it goes.
Ya. They definitely focus their marketing efforts into moto. I have a couple pairs of their pants and shorts, as well as a Werx R. Pants fit great, as do their shorts. One pair has a boa which works awesome. I can’t say enough good things about my experiences with the Werx R. I also have a 6D ATR2 for my moto helmet. This Werx R fits so good, good goggle opening (fits 100% Armega’s or Scott Prospect’s great) and that Rheon…😮💨 I’ve had a few concussions, sadly, and I hit my head in my first Werx R quite hard. The second my head hit the ground I was instantly angry as I knew I hit it hard enough to concuss myself. 🤬 I got up and the rest of the group slowly caught up. I waited probably 10 mins and no concussion symptoms. No seeing stars, no light headedness, nothing. I continued riding that day symptom free and clear headed. Very, very impressed with the Rheon.
FYI 6d is coming out with a new enduro helmet this April. I know nothing about it but hope it’s good because I wear there atb-1 now and want a new full face but needs to be a safe one. @@unclewickedmtb2023
Is the hardware that holds the the chinstrap stainless steel? I don’t mean the double D closure, I mean what is riveted to the inside of the helmet. I find it is not stainless on many helmets and rusting a lot from salty sweat.
That could be true for a size small. We weighed our Large helmet and it weighs right around 972 grams. Most brands only include weights of their size smalls / mediums depending on the product.
Today, I tried the iXS Trigger and Leatt 6.0 in a store here in Germany, and both FF helmets are definitely top-notch, but for me the weight of the helmet decides and the iXS Trigger is definitely the winner because the size M weighs 590 g, which is incomparable to the Leatt 6.0, which is at least 300 g more, which is a lot when you wear the helmet all day, and the iXS Trigger is made for even better ventilation, which is also important in spring and summer. iXS Trigger it costs 290 euros here in Germany, but it is currently on sale for 159 euros, which is another reason to buy that FF helmet 😊
Thanks for sharing. The iXS Trigger is a helmet we have reviewed and enjoy a bit, however we would not put these two helmets in the same category at all. Leatt has other helmets that are much closer to the Trigger in terms of weight and level of protection. In our opinion, the Trigger is a great enduro, pedal-friendly full face but if we were riding a downhill or enduro bike and doing proper DH laps, we would much rather have this as it's a full-on DH helmet. Thanks again for writing in! We're happy to hear you found a helmet that fits you and you like, especially on sale! NICE!
@@PedroAfonsoProductions Hello. I tried the helmet at the local store,but I ordered the helmet at bike discoint because the prices are always great there.
@@sinisakalicanec6823 ah I see... But do you know any good MTB/Downhill stores in Germany near the Eifel? I live close to there and need to try some downhill helmets for sizing, but have no idea how to search for good mountain biking stores..
@@PedroAfonsoProductions By the way, I'm from Croatia, but I've been working and living in Germany for 10 years, and when I was on annual vacation in Croatia, I tried all the helmets in a local store, but as I already wrote to you, I ordered everything later online from the Bike Discoint website. I can only recommend that you do not order a full face helmet before you try it, because the differences are huge. For example, I bought a few months ago the Fox Proframe RS MASH MIPS - Fullface Helm M (55-59 cm), which is perfect for me and the circumference of my head I am 60 cm
Kali Invader DH is also lighter at 750 grams Dainese linea 01 and Limar Livigno are both Dh rated and under 600 grams Both these have more vents than the Kali Invader DH
I don't know where you get those prices from in America or Canada, in Europe that helmet costs 240 EUR 😂, I have not yet seen a helmet that costs even one of the latest and best above 350 EUR 😮
![Megan Thee Stallion - Mamushi (Remix) [feat. TWICE] [Official Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5c0_u9PsrsQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I love my dainese linea 01,
I want to get. A second helmet and try the brand new Limar Livigno full face
Great review! Thoroughness appreciated. Getting ready f/helmet purchase & this 6.0 seems like an excellent option.
Thx again ☆
Glad it was helpful!
@@TheLoamWolfjust fyi turbine 360 has been tested to be inferior to mips, technology tested well below
That strap seem rather inconvenient, although I have zero experience with full face helmets. Been on market for one though.
Otherwise great looking helmet. Great review!
Thanks for sharing. We don't mind this style closure, but it's not the fastest, however it is likely the most secure.
D-ring chin straps are pretty standard for DH and MOTO helmets. Typically far more secure than a snap-style strap.
Get a D-ring strap helmet. They are just better and you will learn how to use it in no time. Becomes 2nd nature and easy.
I am 56cm head size, so right on the boarder of S/M, which would you suggest? thanks, great video!

Thank you very much. To get a strap like that, you’ll need to be looking at full on DH helmets like this one.
Leatt produces some seriously good-quality gear, as opposed to POC, which is just expensive.
If safety is your thing turbine 360 is a bit of a failure
@@chefgav1Really ? i am curious. is there a test done on it though ? I know mips aren't perfect either. I had a mips helmet and i still got a concussion and it took me 1 week to actually ride again.

Do you think it’s good also for peddling? Like enduro ride ? Thanks
Dainese linea 01 works very well for this
I'm sure the brand new Limar Livigno will be also
Both are DH rated

@@TheLoamWolf they don't breathe well, and is heavy
Makes a good winter lid..or bone park/shuttle day though
I got the Rayce
Some of the older Leatt Helmets had a "pointy" or too "rounded" of a chin which make action cam chin mount not an option. How is it on this one?
Is the hardware that holds the the chinstrap stainless steel? I don’t mean the double D closure, I mean what is riveted to the inside of the helmet. I find it is not stainless on many helmets and rusting a lot from salty sweat.
Website says: Weight: Estimated from 750 ± 50g (1.65 lbs)
Which would be significantly lighter than the 972 you quoted, or any other downhill helmet..
That could be true for a size small. We weighed our Large helmet and it weighs right around 972 grams. Most brands only include weights of their size smalls / mediums depending on the product.
How does it compare to a Giro switchblade regarding ventilation and drying speed?
Where can i buy one

Wonder if. It's safe for a use in a scooter who can run 55mph? Can someone help me with that info?
You should look for a motorbike certified helmet for that.
@TheLoamWolf where can I buy those black and gold signed goggles where can I buy them?
thats full carbon?
Full carbon shell, yes.
Had no idea downhill helmets cost so much
Echt?
Sorry what?
