Developed for MotoGP – the EX2 Spoiler is a spoiler made to perfectly fit the RX-7V, taking the aerodynamic performance of the standard helmet and enhancing it.
The diffuser bridges the gap between the helmet and the race hump, improving stability and aerodynamic efficiency at high speeds, as well as increasing the ventilation capabilities.
The spoiler is lightweight and is designed to break away in the event of an impact in order to preserve the glancing off capabilities of the helmet.
As with every Arai, the New Quantic is formed around protection first and foremost.
The Quantic offers a new fresh choice for riders that want the very best performance from a helmet – in terms of protection, comfort and ease of wear, day-in-day out – with zero compromise. Modern touches, such as swage lines and new graphics means the Quantic is at the cutting edge of performance and style, and with official ECE R22.06 homologation, the Quantic reinforces Arai’s continued focus on safety and rider protection.
Manufactured by hand, the outer shell maintains core strength but with a substantial weight reduction. The smooth, round shape is a key Arai signature and primarily designed to ‘glance- off’ and spread impact forces, with our first fixed, dual purpose aerodynamic spoiler developed from our race helmets that increases stability and reduces buffeting at high speeds.
For easy access on and off the Quantic features a 5mm flare around the base and FCS cheekpads, with a new 3D logo vent system, complemented by brow vents in the VAS MAX vision visor. With Arai’s experience and know-how earned over millions of road & track miles, the new Quantic is a premium helmet that slips through the air neatly and efficiently, wrapping its wearer in a cocoon of luxury.
ECE R22.06 Safety Standard
Arai has been carrying out the new ECE R22.06 standard aims to replicate the effect of a real-life accident by introducing more representative drop tests compared to ECE 22.05 – taking into account different anvils, speeds and impact positions, as well as a demonstrable protection against neck twisting. Arai has been carrying out tests above the existing standard and will continue to develop our in house testing no matter what, as what we are seeking to protect is priceless.
To more accurately measure the ability of a helmet to protect against an impact, additional drop points were included in a drop test. The ECE R22.06 standard also requires additional visor testing, including a 134mph impact test, and tests to ensure that accessories such as vents or spoilers do not adversely affect the impact tests. Arai has always made sure these additions break away in the event of an impact to preserve the smooth, R75 shape.
In addition to the the ECE R22.06 standard, Arai’s in house standards require tests at higher speeds onto different surfaces – these are tests Arai introduced before ECE R22.06.
The new Quantic will be available in hand painted and applied Snake and Face graphics as well as a range of solid colours.
LS2 Helmets are now officially supporting 2019 FMX champion, youngest ever FIM Freestyle Motocross World Champion, nine-time world record holder and Red Bull Athlete, Luc Ackermann.
The 22-year-old extreme sports athlete from Thuringia in Germany has worn LS2 helmets for many of his daring tricks and records, and from now will be officially backed by the brand.
Announcing the new partnership, LS2 Germany Sales Manager Rainer Hullmann said: “Luc has, after all, been relying on our helmets for several years now. That we are now also official partners, we are immensely pleased! Luc is a super guy and one of the best in his discipline. He’s a perfect fit for our brand!”
At the age of just 12 Ackermann set his first record, with the ‘youngest motorcycle backflip of all time’.
In March 2013, he was one of 18 FMX riders who simultaneously jumped a backflip at the Nitro Circus movie premiere in London and entered the Guinness Book of Records.
Another world record – ‘youngest motorcycle double backflip’ – came in 2017. This was followed in 2018 by the first double backflip in the FIM FMX World Championship Contest and saw Ackermann becoming the youngest FIM European Champion in the history of ‘Night of the Jumps’.
In 2019, he jumped the first dirt-to-dirt contest double backflip and became the youngest FIM Freestyle Motocross World Champion ever.
In 2020, Luc broke a 12-year-old world record set by FMX legend Travis Pastrana with 10 backflips in 30 seconds.
Ackermann currently wears the LS2 MX700 Subverter Evo. One of LS2’s most popular motocross helmets it’s perfect for the extreme riding Luc undertakes, because it is incredibly lightweight, thanks to the exclusive Kinetic Polymer Alloy shell. It also features multiple ventis and channeling around the head to allow plenty of airflow and comes with Emergency Release System cheek pads, enabling first responders to remove the Subverter Evo with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck.
The MX700 Subverter Evo comes in sizes XS-3XL and retails at just £119.99 in solid colours, and £139.99 for the graphic options.
For 2021 it is available in seven new colour options: ‘Solid White’ and ‘Solid Matt Black’ for those who prefer a subtle scheme; the eye-catching Black/Fluo/Orange ‘Rascal’ and Cobalt/Hi-Vis Yellow or White/Orange ‘Astro’ for those who want to stand out; while the ‘Cargo’ in Matt Military Green or Matt Blue/Fluo Orange both offer a more contemporary look.
Fully ECE 22.05 certified, it’s legal to wear on the road in the UK and carries the ACU Gold sticker for off-road sport.

Form meets function with LS2’s FF902 Scope flip-front helmet, which comes in two fresh contemporary colour options for 2021.
Both the ‘Arch’ graphics – White/Titanium and Matt/Titanium/Pink – complement the modern shape of the Scope helmet, perfect for riders who want stand-out style, with the comfort and practicality a flip-front provides.
Offering premium specification at an accessible price, the Scope is made using High Pressure Thermoplastic Technology, which meets the latest safety standards and keeps weight low – just 1650 grams.
It comes in three outer shell sizes, for the smallest possible outline in each size range, and a chin curtain also features, to help keep the weather out, and reduce annoying and distracting wind noise.
The quick-release visor has a wide aperture, offering maximum peripheral vision – a must have for tackling traffic. A Pinlock anti-fog shield is included as standard, and there’s a handy drop-down sun visor.
Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with intake ports at the chin and crown, internal channels and exhaust ports to the rear – helps keep the rider cool and comfortable. The hypoallergenic lining is removable and washable for season-long freshness.
An oval shell shape and laser-cut EPS and foam cheek give a reassuringly snug and comfortable fit. A quick-release, micrometric buckle fastening holds the Scope firmly in place and makes getting in and out at stops a doddle.
The LS2 Scope retails for £129.99 in new Arch graphics; solid colours sell for £119.99.

Few helmets have made such a mark on the bike world as the Simpson Bandit. First launched in the late 1970s, the original Bandit was made in Texas by Bill Simpson and was actually a NASCAR helmet design that was technically illegal in Britain. It was a super-high quality lid, but since it was built for American car racing, it didn’t comply with UK motorcycle helmet rules.
Now riders can re-create their biking youth, with the latest Simpson bike helmet – the new Venom which is totally compliant with ECE 22-05 regulations, making them fully road legal to wear on a bike. That hasn’t affected their overall design though – the Simpson style is still clear to see.
Simpson has also updated the materials and build quality for 2018. The standard Venom boasts the very latest composite Maxx-3C shell material, with fully removable, washable lining, an advanced venting and hot-air exhaust system, inner sun visor, and a quick-release Pinlock Max Vision equipped visor. A Max vision insert is included in the box.
All the Simpsons are produced in three shell sizes, with fittings from XS to XXL
Technical Specification
•3 outside shells made of high-strength and lightweight shell construction in MAXX-3C
•Multi-Axis Tricomposite compound
•ACU Gold Standard

Exclusive to the UK, the Rapide recalls the simple yet aggressive styling of naked motorcycles from the 1980s, with modern Arai performance.
The smooth shell gives a distinctive, retro-modern style, using a strong, multi-layer laminate construction that is, as with all Arai helmets, hand built by master craftsmen in Japan.
Using a VAS-VC shield system, which has mechanical retro look, allows the visor mount to be lower contributing to a smoother, rounder shell.
Finally, the Rapide uses Arai’s multi-channel ventilation system where air is drawn through the chin and brow vents and into the liner providing cooling for the rider.
Taking inspiration from military uniforms, the Overland Olive features a smart matte finish and clean lines.
With the Aventuro Carbon2 Plus, Touratech has introduced an extremely versatile helmet into its range, which features first-class performance from tough offroad use to sporty road tours. For the 2021 season, this quick-change artist has been given three crisp and fresh designs.
Three new designs
With its Core Plus, Sport Plus and Compañero Plus design variants, this successful Touratech all-round helmet enters the new season as the Aventuro Carbon2 Plus.
The Core Plus design shows off the carbon fibres of the helmet shell to create a particularly impressive effect and, with its solid black, it synchronises with classic touring gear just as perfectly as it does with sporty offroad outfits.
The Sport Plus design with its dynamic combination of the racing colours white, blue and red emphasises the sporting ambitions of its wearer. Riders of GS models or the Africa Twin are likely to identify with this fresh design, as are Yamaha fans with a soft spot for the rally team and its symbolic blue.
And finally, the Compañero Plus design with its yellow, black and grey sections picks up on the colour schemes of the Touratech Compañero Rambler and Compañero Traveller touring suits so skilfully that it not only harmonises perfectly with these suits, but also sets attractive colour accents when worn in conjunction with other riding gear.
Specific further development of the technical basis
The Touratech Aventuro Carbon2 Plus can be easily converted without tools from a hybrid helmet to an enduro helmet or a street helmet. Its helmet shell, made entirely of carbon fibre laminate, combines the highest safety standards with minimal weight. The ECE certificate of homologation and the especially strict American DOT standards are proof of its outstanding protective function.
The three different sized helmet shells guarantee that the ideal thickness of the EPS dome is maintained for each size. This allows for the enormous size range from XS to 3XL. A strap closure with double D-ring, and easy removability of the helmet in an emergency, thanks to emergency straps, complete the safety concept of the Aventuro Carbon2 Plus.
To provide maximum comfort even on strenuous offroad stages, the Aventuro Carbon2 Plus has an exceptionally efficient and finely adjustable ventilation system. A sweat-inhibiting, removable and washable inner lining made of Coolmax makes it ideal for tough use.
The anti-fog Pinlock visor with optimised operation and latching ensures the best possible visibility in all weather conditions.
While the basic concept has remained untouched since the model was launched, the Aventuro Carbon2 Plus has undergone repeated detail upgrades throughout its evolution. For example, ventilation has been constantly improved, operability with gloves has been optimised, a new helmet shield has been developed for more favourable airflow and the chin strap has been made more comfortable.
Highlights
• Great variability: Travel Mode – Offroad Mode – Onroad Mode
• Tool-free conversion
• High-strength and lightweight carbon shell
• Complies with ECE 2205 and DOT

The UK’s favourite 180-degree flip-front helmet – LS2’s Valiant II – is set to find even more fans, with three fresh colour schemes for 2021.
The eye-catching white/silver ‘Hub’; the subtle and stylish ‘Citius’ white/blue option; and the space-inspired matt black/blue ‘Stelar’ all complement the Valiant II’s futuristic shape and offer three distinctive looks for any rider.
The latest version of the popular Valiant II is the smallest, lightest – it weighs only 1700g – and easiest to use in its class.
It features a 180º swing-around chin bar and is doubly certified as both a full-face and open-face helmet – so it’s legal to ride in open-face mode.
The self-up visor mechanism automatically opens the visor when the chin bar is lifted and it also has a quick-release mechanism, for easier removal and refitting. A Pinlock anti-fog shield is included as standard.
The Kinetic Polymer Alloy outer shell features redesigned aerodynamics, with two intake and three exhaust ports, for enhanced ventilation.
The Valiant II is also LRP 3 Bluetooth ready, for wireless connectivity on the move.
The LS2 Valiant II comes in sizes XS-XXL in solid and graphic colour options. Graphics retail at just £269.99, while prices for the solid colour options start at £249.99.
Each one comes with a helmet bag that converts into a rucksack, so it’s easy to carry the Valiant II when you reach your destination.

The Italian company present the 50.6 Sport Deep, a unique helmet that adds to the top-of the-range products in its already extensive collection.
GIVI have taken a giant step forward with the launch of their new sporty full face helmet. Based on the 50.6 model that hit the market in 2020, the Sport Deep version is a limited edition product aimed at fans of sports bikes, sport tourers and naked bikes. Using an elegant ‘brushed metal’ effect in the 6 two-colour graphic versions available, it also features details such as a mirror screen visor and metallic micrometric closure system.
The Italian manufacturer, specialists in the design and manufacture of motorcycle accessories, began their journey in the world of helmet production in 2002. Since then, the collection coming out of the Brescia factory has improved and expanded, adapting not only to current aesthetics and trends, but also offering high quality products at an affordable price.
For 2021, GIVI have launched the bold and dynamic 50.6 Sport Deep model. A special edition of the existing 50.6 Stoccarda, its clear differentiating features are its daring colour combinations and excellent finishes
The helmet, made of technopolymer, comes in 2 shell sizes, in order to perfectly meet the needs of each rider and covering interior sizes ranging from XS to XXL. The total weight of the Sport Deep is 1,490g, light enough to travel hundreds of kilometres without the rider feeling heaviness in their neck and upper shoulders. In addition, its extraordinary aerodynamic design, free from ridges and protrusions, and the efficiency of the front air intakes (two upper and one on the chin guard) and two rear extractors, aid comfort even on naked and streetfighter type machines lacking in aerodynamic protection. Interior ventilation makes for a cool ride in summer, and heat preservation in winter.
The smoked / iridium visor, which comes with pinlock as standard, is another of the peculiarities of the GIVI 50.6 Sport Deep helmet that make it exceptional. It has, like the rest of the models in the 50.6 range, a retractable interior tinted visor; as well as a removable and washable inner fabric (in this case also incorporates the emergency cheek pad removal system), a specific windshield and removable nose deflector. The locking mechanism is metal micrometric, one of the safest and most comfortable forms on the market, and can be operated even with gloves on.
The GIVI 50.6 Sport Deep is available in 6 colour schemes, including the return of a design with the colours of the Italian flag, at a price of £149.90 -more than attractive for a helmet with its characteristics and performance.

Shark Helmet’s brand-new EVO-GT – the ultimate evolution in the original EVO concept launched by the French brand – will be arriving in UK dealers this month.
EVO-GT. Always the reference.
The latest addition to the EVO range, the EVO-GT is the ‘Grand Touring’ model of the dual-homologated modular EVO helmet range. As comfortable in the jet position as it is in the full-face setting, this premium model benefits from the latest SHARK innovations making it the ideal partner, whatever the route.
Available in 11 colour options, the EVO-GT has an RRP from £369.99.
Switching from a jet helmet to a full helmet was never so easy and safe!
The patented SHARK Auto-up/Auto-down system makes it possible to automatically raise the visor when holding the chin guard. The new V-TECH system offers increased ergonomics and comfort of use with one-handed chin guard locking.
And for even more safety, the EVO-GT is equipped with the completely new SAFE LOCK SYSTEM that guarantees that the chin guard stays locked even on impact.
The best optical quality on the market
With an anti-scratch treatment, the EVO-GT’s new generation “optical class 1” VZ 250 visor with variable thickness offers premium optical quality with no visual distortion. The Pinlock 120 Max Vision®, the best anti-fog lens on the market, comes in the box as standard.
The EVO-GT is also equipped with an internal sun visor with central slider: a mechanism that can be used with either hand, practical and easy to use.
Aerodynamic design
The EVO-GT benefits from the most advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies and acoustic research: all the parts have been designed to ensure maximum air penetration and sound insulation:
‘SHARK skin’ side plates with textured design
Premium ventilation system to ensure optimum air circulation inside the helmet and internal cooling (three air inlets and two air extractors). The wide, textured ventilation sliders offer excellent grip and easy handling with gloves.
Unequalled premium comfort
The EVO-GT features a next-generation SHARK fabric: MICROTECH, a fabric made of recycled “ECO CIRCLE FIBERS™” with the AEGIS label, which has antibacterial and odour-resistant properties.
It also features a retractable and magnetic anti-fog breath guard to reduce the ambient air movement and turbulence-induced when riding.
