Premium Motorcycle Protection Built for Real Riders
When riders search for premium motorcycle protection gear, motocross helmets, adventure riding equipment, neck braces, and body armour, Leatt is one of the most recognised names in the industry.
From motocross tracks and enduro races to adventure rides across Australia, Leatt has built a global reputation for rider protection designed to reduce injuries without compromising comfort, movement, or performance.
Known for innovative safety technology, lightweight construction, and rider-focused engineering, Leatt motorcycle gear has become a favourite among motocross riders, adventure riders, trail riders, and professional racers alike.
What started as a mission to improve rider safety has evolved into one of the world’s leading motorcycle protection brands.
Born from Tragedy, Built for Rider Safety
The story of Leatt began in 2001 in Cape Town, South Africa, after a tragic motocross accident claimed the life of a fellow rider during an event involving Dr. Chris Leatt’s son.
As both a passionate rider and a medical doctor, Dr. Leatt was deeply affected by the incident and became determined to find a way to reduce catastrophic neck and spinal injuries in motorcycle crashes.
That determination led to years of biomechanical research, testing, and development. In 2004, the first-ever Leatt neck brace was released — introducing a completely new category of motorcycle safety equipment to the industry.
Designed to reduce forces transferred to the neck during crashes, the Leatt neck brace quickly became one of the most important innovations in motocross and off-road rider protection.
Today, Leatt neck braces are trusted by motocross riders, enduro riders, and adventure riders all over the world.
Revolutionising Motorcycle Protection Gear
Unlike many motorcycle gear brands that focus heavily on styling alone, Leatt built its reputation around science-backed protection and rider biomechanics.
Every product is designed using:
- Real-world crash research
- Rider feedback
- Impact testing
- Advanced material development
- Long-term durability testing
Over the years, Leatt expanded beyond neck braces and developed a complete range of:
- Leatt motorcycle helmets
- Leatt motocross boots
- Leatt ADV helmets
- Leatt body armour
- Leatt knee guards
- Leatt elbow guards
- Leatt gloves
- Leatt adventure riding gear
- Leatt enduro gear
- Leatt protective riding apparel
Today, Leatt is considered one of the leading brands in motorcycle protection worldwide.
