With the original model launched back in 2022, and a carbon version the following year, it’s about time for an update with the new flip-front LS2 Advant II helmet for 2025.
The shell still uses the same Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA) that LS2 use on most of their helmets, but it now gets some 6K Carbon components, which means it’s all a bit stronger but without being any heavier, coming in at around 1750g. You also get a new advanced visor-locking system to make sure everything stays in position when riding, but you can also quickly and easily remove the visor and integrated flip-down sun visor for cleaning or changing.
A secure lock is useful as the Advant II is ECE 22.06 certified and P/J dual homologated, so you can use it open or closed. And for riding in colder weather, it comes as standard with a Pinlock 120 MaxVision anti-fog insert.

The New LS2 Dragon Carbon Motorcycle Helmet
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.

Updated New LS2 Pioneer II Helmet For 2024
It’s been around for a good few years, and remains a popular and affordable choice for adventure sports riders. And somewhat remarkably, the updated new LS2 Pioneer II helmet for 2024 stays an affordable option, with prices starting at £119.99.
Originally developed with input from professional off-road and supermoto racers, it continues to use the LS2 Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA) for the shell. Which offers a combination of flexibility and penetration resistance, hopefully reducing the energy of an impact without letting anything sharp before a problem.
Three outer shell sizes across the range help to keep the weight down to 1650g and avoids unnecessary bulkiness or padding inside the long-oval shaped helmet, with intake and exhaust ports channelling air through the EPS liner.
Whether you call it adventure sports, dual sports, or just like mixing up trail riding and commuting, you get the off-road design with a quick release visor. It’s Pinlock 70 Max Vision-ready, and you also get a drop-down sun visor. The peak of the LS2 Pioneer II is adjustable and removable without needing tools, so you can ditch it on the motorway, and then put it back on for protection when you reach the wilderness.
Along with the breathable and hypollergenic lining, which is removable and washable, you also get the normal Emergency Release System to allow medics or other riders to remove the cheek pads with minimal disruption to your head and neck. And the helmet is also ready for the LS2 Intercom (Bluetooth by Cardo), if you need to communicate while you’re riding through the woods.
The update new LS2 Pioneer II Helmet for 2024 is available in sizes XS-3XL, and costs £119.99 in solid Black, or £139.99 if you pick one of four graphics choices. The other Adventure options in the LS2 range are the £219.99 Explorer, or the £299.99 Explorer Carbon. Or you can pick from three off-road helmets, starting with the new Fast II from £79.99

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.

New LS2 Vector II Helmet Replaces The Evo Model

And along with a new lid, you also geta bag, Pinlock insert, reflective stickers and an air bag support all included, which is nice.
