The Leatt Moto 8.5 is designed for riders who want premium protection and advanced technology without stepping up to a carbon shell. Its composite construction strikes the ideal balance between strength and weight, delivering a solid, confidence-inspiring feel on the tracks. The helmet features the same 360° Turbine Technology and four layers of impact foam found in the 9.5, ensuring high-level protection against rotational and linear forces.
The fit is slightly more relaxed than the tight, race-oriented feel of the 9.5, which makes the 8.5 especially comfortable during long days of training or repeated sessions on the tracks. Ventilation remains excellent, keeping airflow high through slower sections and warm weather riding. The composite shell adds a touch more mass, resulting in a planted and stable feel that many riders appreciate.
Included in the kit are Velocity 5.5 goggles that integrate seamlessly with the helmet and provide clear, distortion-free vision. They are lighter and more accessible than the Velocity 6.5 goggles found in the 9.5 kit, making them ideal for dedicated off-road riders who value comfort and durability. The Moto 8.5 is the perfect choice for riders who train frequently and want a helmet that blends advanced protection with everyday practicality on the tracks.
