Leatt draws attention to young bikers at the start of the season. Many adult mountain bikers and motocrossers are probably already familiar with the equipment expert. However, with the 2025 collection, the manufacturer from Cape Town is making it impressively clear that it can also outfit children and young people from head to toe. Always at the centre: function, protection and style.

Young MTB riders learn quickly and develop rapidly from wheel riders to bike park shredders. Leatt has therefore thought of every taste and riding style, presenting small gloves and chest protectors that are in no way inferior to the adult models. The target group ranges from kindergarten children to teenagers. We took a closer look at the new children's clothing and youth protectors from Leatt.

Kids helmets from Leatt

Even small children know this: Cycling is only allowed with a helmet. This is especially true for mountain biking. To ensure that their heads are always well protected on their first bike adventures, Leatt's children's helmets feature the in-house 360 Turbine technologywhich, if the worst comes to the worst, should protect the brain from peaks in acceleration force and ultimately a concussion. The system should also absorb the energy of an impact better than the competition. A Fidlock fastening system is designed to make it easier for children to open and close the helmet. Leatt also offers matching children's goggles to protect the eyes.

The Leatt range extends from lightweight, breathable tops to hard armour for gravity use. The lifesavers are specially tailored to the size and needs of small bikers and can be customised in a variety of ways to keep pace with the growth of their users.

Protection for the extremities of young bikers

Elbow and knee protectors are an absolute must for children and teenagers who are approaching challenging manoeuvres on the trail. The protectors can prevent abrasions, bruising and worse.

A perfect fit is important, which is why Leatt has special models for young mountain bikers in its programme. The fastening and width adjustment are adapted to young bodies so that the pads should fit perfectly and the youngsters will soon forget that they are even wearing them.
