Leatt 8.5 V27 Moto Helmet in Blue Red – 2027 Leatt Motocross Helmets

The Leatt 8.5 V27 Moto Helmet combines a lightweight composite shell with Leatt’s proven brain and impact protection technology, effective low-speed ventilation and a comfortable Pro-Fit liner. Built specifically for off-road riding, it offers a combination of protection, comfort and practical features for motocross and enduro.

At the centre of the helmet is 360° Turbine Technology, using 3D moulded Armourgel® turbines to help absorb impact forces. The technology is designed to reduce peak brain acceleration by up to 30% at impact speeds associated with concussion and reduce peak brain rotational acceleration by up to 40%.

Ventilation for Off-Road Riding

Keeping air moving is particularly important when riding off-road, and the 8.5 V27 features large ventilation channels designed to remain effective even at lower speeds. The airflow system is optimised for off-road racing, helping to keep air circulating when you're riding technical sections or waiting for the next lap.

Pro-Fit Comfort Liner

The Pro-Fit elastic comfort liner shapes to the contours of your head for a secure and comfortable fit. The helmet also uses an X-Static® inner liner which is washable, breathable and made with moisture-wicking anti-odour fabric.

360° Turbine Technology

• Reduces peak brain acceleration by up to 30% at impact speeds associated with concussion

Neck Brace Compatibility

The helmet has been shaped to work with the Leatt neck brace design, with features intended to provide good neck brace mobility. A rear hyperextension impact platform incorporates a neck brace-optimised shape.

Visor Safety Release & Peak Extension

The visor features a breakaway function intended to reduce forces transferred to the head and neck during a crash. A clip-on visor extension is also included, giving you the option to extend the peak when required.
