If you plan on combining off-road motorcycling with cross-country rides and touring, and need something to cover all eventualities, the new premium HJC RPHA 60 dual sports helmet might be a suitable choice.
New for 2025, it uses the HJC Premium Integrated matrix (PIM) construction for the shell to be both strong and lightweight, infused with epoxy resin and fibre tissue, and it has an aerodynamic shape, including the peak visor, for when you’re riding at higher speeds. Which is incredibly handy if you’re touring or riding between trails. You’re also able to remove the peak without any tools, if you prefer.

New Flip-Front LS2 Advant II Helmet For 2025
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.

New LS2 Charger Goggles With Iridium Lenses
I’m far from a competent off-road rider, despite the best efforts of friends, and instructors on various courses. But at least I might look a bit cooler using the new LS2 Charger Goggles with iridium lenses as standard.
There are seven different lens and strap combinations to choose from, ensuring you can pick the right combination to match your riding kit. And they’re also road-legal in the UK, as they’re certified to the EN 1938:2010 standard for motorcycle eyewear. Which is handy if you tend to ride your bike to local trails or a nearby MX track.
