[Video] Bluegrass Presents the Legit Carbon Full Face

Already proven in the Downhill, Enduro, Freeride and Slopestyle events, theBLUEGRASS LEGIT Carbon has a lot of clever features – which make for a race-ready helmet.

[Press Release] –  Last spring, Italian protection brand Bluegrass brought out a new helmet prototype at the second round of the UCI DH World Cup at Fort Bill. Their idea was to build a new elite-level lid by taking the
iterative approach used more commonly by competition bike makers – to do some heavy in-house
testing before putting the helmet into real-life riding situations with professional riders. It represented
a revolutionary approach to helmet design.

Used by big name riders like Tracey Hannah, Mick Hannah, Sam Blenkinsop – as well as some major
legends like Brett Tippie – the prototypes of Bluegrass’ new full-face were spotted popping up and
dropping in on trails and podiums all around the world.

Now the brand says the process is at an end, inviting us to welcome the new Bluegrass Legit Carbon.

What has been the added value of all this development?

From the visor placement, to the completely refined fitting, passing by the safety-release and flexible
visor, every detail was studied carefully with the riders.

Along with this rigorous real world testing, Bluegrass also crash-tested more than 200 helmets in their
in-house laboratory – eventually getting the Legit Carbon to a point where it’s perfectly safe and ready
to tackles any trail.

The LEGIT Carbon uses a carbon fibre outer shell paired with a multi-impact EPS liner to achieve the
finest blend of high impact performance and low weight.

The LEGIT Carbon features a flexible safety-release visor to avoid twisting of the neck in impacts from
any angle.

Helping riders hear better, maintain balance and hit their optimum performance levels.

The ASTM certified chin guard hosts three wide vents that allow you to breathe easily.

The MIPS:E2 liner is made up of two multi-directional, stretch fabric layers sewn together around a
thin, plastic foil. When inserted between the comfort padding of the helmet and the outer EPS shell,

The Liner provides broad coverage from rotational impacts without sacrificing comfort or sweat ab-
sorption.

The LEGIT Carbon is suitable for all head shapes and sizes, thanks to its meticulously refined internal
shaping. The comfort is boosted even more by the snap-in soft padding.

Vents and air channeling are optimised for all day park sessions. The two large exhausts work in syn-
ergy with the EPS channels, keeping you cool at both high and low speed.

Durability and quality are enhanced by an injected PU foam paired with the chin guard and three poly-
carbonate shells strategically moulded on the EPS liner.

The Bluegrass Legit Carbon will be available in four colour schemes and will hit stores in November.
