& Innovation Award, the second year in a row that the DBX Helmet has received this honor.
The Design & Innovation Award (DIA) is both a seal of approval and the benchmark achievement for the bike industry's
highest-performing products. It is awarded by a select committee of international journalists, professional test riders,
and industry experts who invest more than 6,000 hours of their time in the award selection process. The selection process

technologically-advanced products and their excellence at meeting the safety requirements of cyclists with comfort and
style. Industry recognition with this award reinforces our commitment to continual innovation through research and development
has enabled us to once again deliver a product that sets the benchmark for the most discerning athletes while continuing to
grow our business."
DBX 4.0 Helmet
The DBX 4.0 Helmet was recognized by the DIA committee for its comfort, fit and protection, and as 'the perfect helmet
for anyone who wants more safety without sacrificing too much comfort.' The helmet is extremely light weight, well
ventilated, with 22 big ventilation ports, and pleasant to wear. The comfortable padding all-around the helmet was a
perfect fit for testers and is also effective in preventing the helmet from shifting around. The company's 360? turbine
system and dual density foam construction absorbs hard knocks, is compliant with ASTM standards and is certified for use as a
downhill helmet. The detachable mesh insert of the chin guard allows the helmet to be adapted to weather conditions and
discipline. The Leatt DBX 4.0 balances the requirements of both a trail and a downhill helmet.
