You might need one crash helmet to cover riding on streets and off-road, or just like the more rugged look for cruising around town. In either case, the new entry-level NEXX Y.TRAVL adventure helmet is a cost-effective option which doesn’t look radically different to the more expensive helmets in the range, like the X.LIFECOUNTRY CARBON.
Two sizes of the Polyfusion thermoplastic shell are produced to provide a suitable basis for S-XXL fitments, with the aerodynamic shape designed to reduce turbulence and neck fatigure. The off-road peak also has an anti-vibration system, or can be removed if you prefer. There’s an extra-wide aperture for peripheral vision, the main visor is Pinlock-ready, and uses the NEXX X-Swift Quick Release system so you can change it in seconds, plus you also get an integrated drop-down sun visor.

Premium New HJC RPHA 60 Dual Sports Helmet Now Available
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.

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.

It’s ECE 22.06 certified, and dual homologated to be legal for UK roads whether the front chinbar is up or down. And while the adjustable peak is aerodynamically-shaped to reduce problems at higher speeds, you can also add or remove an extension for extra protection when you reach trails and off-road sections.
