Sam Hill, Mike Jones, Joe Smith, and Elliot Heap who comprise Team Chain Reaction Cycles, will wear the Leatt DBX 6.0 Carbon Helmet, DBX 6.5 Carbon Neck Brace, Leatt Gloves, Leatt Knee, Leatt Elbow, and Leatt Body Protection while competing in the 2016 UCI Downhill Series.
The Leatt DBX 6.0 Carbon and DBX 5.0 Composite Bicycle Helmets provide superior head and brain protection by using Leatt’s ground-breaking 360 Turbine Technology in a small shell that is very lightweight and super-ventilated, to reduce concussive and brain rotation forces. Redefining head and brain protection and trusted by some of the fastest riders in the world, Leatt Helmets inspire confidence and protect athletes who constantly push the limits.
