Plus, there’s a number of ranges of elements, from mid-level efficiency spec alloy, as much as top-tier light-weight Ceramag ceramic-coated magnesium & titanium elements.
Let’s take a better look…
2025 Leatt all-new mountain bike elements
It’s the twentieth anniversary of Leatt – based on the idea of the protection of a neck brace. And now the South African firm is breaking away from tender items that you just put on, to onerous items that join you to the bike. On supply are 5 utterly new product classes.
Connecting your ft to the bike, there are 4 strains of pedals – 1 flat and three clipless pedals from XC to DH – every with two or three spec ranges. In between your arms and the bike are ergo grips in 2 thicknesses, alloy bars in 2 rise choices, and traditional or direct mount stems in just a few lengths. And lastly, a few new water bottles, with one being uniquely full-face-friendly.
Ceramag tech or basic alloy
Each the pedals and stems have just a few efficiency tiers, with ceramic-coated magnesium Cermag being the top-level – in black or white – promising tremendous mild weights, gravity-ready energy & stiffness, and the power to damp extra vibration than aluminum. Or you may choose from conventional aluminum alloys – 6061-T6 for pedals and 7075-T6 for stems in black, silver, or bronze – sharing the identical shaping, simply at a better weight and extra reasonably priced worth factors.
Light-weight and excessive energy are the large advantages of using magnesium for Leatt. Then, improved experience consolation comes as an added bonus because of the materials’s vibration-damping properties. However its susceptibility to corrosion means the protecting end is additional necessary.
So Leatt first offers the magnesium elements a ‘plasma ceramic corrosion seal’ therapy, then a ‘excessive put on resistance’ coating on prime of that.
The result’s a matte white or black end with a deeper texture to it.
However that ceramic coating does seem fairly immune to common MTB path put on. We had a sneak peek at these similar white Leatt 8.0 Ceramag flat pedals again in March. And so they have some seen indicators of wear and tear, together with tiny dents from rock strikes, however look nice and guarded nonetheless.
Leatt says the Ceramag building additionally has the facet good thing about being extra eco-friendly than conventional aluminum. At its core, magnesium is considerable and straightforward to supply from the setting. It may be 100% recycled. And refining and processing it’s much less power intensive than aluminum.
