As a brand, going racing is the best way to improve your mountain biking kit and components.
Nothing tests those tyres, suspension bits and general riding apparel more than a few stages of UCI calibre racing. Leatt is renowned among downhill and enduro mountain bikers. The South African company's neck brakes, helmets and personal protective equipment is used from Cape Town to Colorado.
One mountain biking category where Leatt has been absent is endurance riding, or cross-country racing, as it is classified in South Africa. This format of mountain biking is themed most vividly by an event like the Cape Epic, which is why Leatt has become involved.
