It seems like every manufacturer is offering carbon helmets these days, and the new LS2 Dragon Carbon motorcycle helmet is one of the latest to appear on the market. The good news is that at £349.99 for the plain finish, and £379.99 for the graphic options, it’s relatively affordable.
The three outer shell sizes mean you get the smallest and lightest option across XXS to XXXL fitments, and it’s made from high grade 6k twill weave carbon fibre. So you get the high-tech look, and a high level of penetration resistance without a lot of weight. And the carbon is also used for various components including the chin, forehead and rear exhaust vents, so you don’t end up with plastic ruining the look.

New NEXX X.LIFECOUNTRY CARBON Adventure Helmet
Light and capable for both off-road riding and touring, the new NEXX X.LIFECOUNTRY CARBON adventure helmet is a versatile new option for all types of motorcycling.
Designed and manufactured in Europe, the X-PRO 3K carbon fibre shell is produced in two sizes to allow for the smallest and lightest option from XS-XXXL, weighing just 1875g. It’s ECE 22.06 certified, and dual homologated to be legal for UK roads whether the front chinbar is up or down.

Lighter New LS2 Vector II Carbon Helmet Released
The new, and light, LS2 Vector II Carbon helmet has just become available to buy in 2023, and with prices starting from £259.99 it’s an affordable way to enjoy modern safety and aerodynamics.
Using 100% high-grade wide weave carbon fibre, you get a weight of around 1350g, compared to approximately 1500g for the fibreglass composite Vector II range launched in 2022. And it’s actually £10 cheaper than the carbon version from the original Vector line-up, which is quite surprising.
Certified to the latest ECE 22.06 safety standards, it’s designed for stability at speed, which should reduce neck ache combined with the light weight . And the long-oval shell is manufactured in six sizes, to help reduce unnecessary drag and give you the best fit.

New LS2 Advant X Carbon Flip-Front Helmet For 2023
Want a modular motorcycle helmet with a bit more technology and less weight? Then check out the new LS2 Advant X Carbon flip-front which has launched for 2023.
The Advant range launched in 2022 with a standard model to replace the outgoing Valiant, and expanded with the X version. But now you can not only get a 100% wide-weave carbon fibre shell, but it’s also the first flip-front helmet to also offer a full carbon chin bar.
The LS2 Advant X Carbon helmet is certified to ECE 22.06, and for use in both open and closed positions, so you get full flexibility when riding. And it’s light at 1550 grams, utilising the low weight and strengh of the carbon fibre. The chin bar is also designed to sit closer to your face, which means you get less leverage on your neck and head when you’re adjusting it. And the visor will lift automatically, which makes life easier.
