New Intercom For LS2 Helmets

New Intercom For LS2 HelmetsVoice-operated, Bluetooth® intercom designed for LS2 Helmets.

Hands free and hassle free, the new LS2 4X intercom uses voice-control and Bluetooth® to make staying in touch on the road a breeze.

Co-developed with Cardo, and tailored specially for LS2 Helmets, it features sound by JBL, live intercom for up to four riders, Natural Voice Operation and much more.

A must-have for group rides and touring, the 4X allows live chat with up to four fellow riders at a range of up to 1.2km. Auto-Reconnecting Bluetooth® means if someone separates from the group, they will automatically rejoin when they’re back in range – no stopping at the side of the road and fiddling with buttons to reconnect.

Quick and easy to pair, the 4X will connect with a smartphone and GPS at the same time, so the user can make and receive calls, stream music and hear turn-by-turn directions simultaneously.

Truly hands-free, all this is done without ever having to press a button. Switching and selecting features, and controlling paired devices, can all be carried out with ‘Always On’ Natural Voice Operation; just say “hey Cardo”, tell the 4X what you want, and it will do the rest.

Powerful 40mm high-definition speakers engineered by JBL mean that favourite track, GPS instructions – and those from fellow riders – are all crystal clear. They feature a specially tuned music processor and three distinctive audio profiles.

For complete peace of mind, the 4X is – as you’d expect – fully weatherproof. The battery allows an impressive talk time of 13 hours, and it only takes 2 hours for a full recharge. Plus, if you need a quick top-up while on the road, just 20 minutes of charging provides 2 hours of talk time.

Software updates are also easy. They can either be done Over-the-Air in the Cardo Connect smartphone app, or via computer with the supplied USB type C cable.

The LS2 4X retails at £239.99 (including VAT)and is compatible with the Advant, Advant X, Advant X Carbon, Infinity II and Vector II helmets.

Selected LS2 Helmet models are available with the 4X pre-installed, offering a significant cost saving as well as removing the need for fitting; for example the Advant X pre-fitted with the 4X retails at £429.99, a saving of over £100 compared to the price of purchasing the helmet and intercom separately (£299.99 + £239.99).

Bolton: a stylish name for your new bodyguard

The new jacket from LS2 is the ideal ally for comfortable and safe everyday motorcycling, especially in the difficult mid-season.

The year 2023 was once again a testament to the rise of two-wheeled urban mobility in Europe. LS2, aware of the need to protect all these users who ride motorbikes on a daily basis, presents the Bolton jacket. A lightweight and comfortable companion that offers maximum safety, without losing sight of the importance of a careful and metropolitan design. With removable protections on shoulders and elbows, CE Level 1 certified and made of three-layer softshell, the new LS2 jacket is available in a men’s and women’s version.

For years, motorbikes have been the undisputed protagonist of urban mobility. A role that continues to grow exponentially, at the same pace as the need to protect and ensure the safety of all motorcyclists who travel daily on their mounts. While it is true that there is an important awareness when it comes to quality equipment for long routes or trips, it is essential that this awareness extends to the cities. This is where LS2, a manufacturer of helmets and motorbike equipment, comes into play. LS2 is committed to creating an accessible product catalogue that combines first-class materials and the latest technology.

One of the latest additions to their portfolio is the LS2 Bolton waterproof jacket, an urban style jacket designed specifically for the in-between seasons and mild winters. It is made of triple layer softshell and is waterproof and windproof, making it an unbeatable ally even on days when the weather is bad. The rider’s safety is guaranteed thanks to the removable protections on shoulders and elbows, certified according to the EN1621-1:2012 standard, at CE Level 1. In addition, a back protector can be incorporated (the LS2 851 Level 2) and it is prepared for a chest protector.

Its light weight and the incorporation of a thermal lining and hood, both detachable, as well as a waterproof front zip closure, make it an extremely comfortable and functional garment, as shown by the inclusion of a front chest pocket and side pockets, and reflective strips for total visibility of the rider in all conditions. Design also plays an important role. With a sober and urban character, it stands out for its fit that adapts perfectly to the rider’s body and for its casual and metropolitan touch.

The LS2 Bolton waterproof jacket is available in black and in a wide range of sizes from S to 5XL for the men’s version, and from XS to 5XL for the women’s version, for a recommended price of 149 €.

New Look for LS2 Rapid Helmet

Five new graphic options for the updated ECE22.06 version of LS2’s popular entry-level, full-face helmet.

LS2 has added five new graphic colourways to the Rapid II line-up for 2024. Riders can choose from the stylish and subtle ‘Circuit’ in Black/Red or White/Red options; make a statement with the ‘Claw’ and glow-in-the-dark ‘Zombie’, or get noticed in the Matt Black/Hi-vis Yellow Rokku.

LS2 Rapid II Zombie glows in the dark!

One of the UK’s best-selling entry-level helmets, the Rapid II boasts an unbeatable specification for the price.

The ECE22.06 certified HTTP shell (High Pressure Thermoplastic Technology) offers high penetration resistance and energy dispersion, without a weight penalty – the Rapid II weighs just 1300g.

LS2 Rapid II Claw

It comes in three external shell sizes for a smaller outline in each size, and has a long oval shape and laser-cut foam inserts, for a naturally comfortable fit.

Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation keeps the rider cool and comfortable in changeable conditions. The breathable, hypoallergenic liner is also removable and washable.

Up front, the scratch-resistant 3D Optically Correct visor offers maximum clarity. It’s Pinlock-ready and has an intuitive Quick Release System for fuss-free changes.

LS2 Rapid II Rokku

The LS2 FF353 Rapid II is available in sizes XS-3XL, and all of the graphic options retail for £69.99 (prices for solid colours start from £59.99).

New LS2 Flip-Front Helmet

Major update for LS2’s best-selling, dual-homologated flip-front helmet.

LS2’s best-selling flip-front helmet gets a complete makeover for 2023/2024, bringing serious specification and everyday-practicality with serious value for money.

Updates start with the Strobe II’s redesigned outer shell, which is now made from KPA (Kinetic Polymer Alloy), a blend of polycarbonate and space age thermoplastics specifically formulated by LS2. KPA Offers ultra-light weight and high penetration resistance, but with enough flexibility for energy dispersion. This special formula meets ECE 22.06 requirements and the whole helmet weighs just 1550 grams.

Unlike many modular helmets, the Strobe II is Dual Homologated, so is legal to use in both the open and closed positions. It transforms from a full to an open face in seconds, and the chin bar and visor move as one, for quick and easy operation.

The visor is scratch and UV-resistant, comes Pinlock-ready, and features an intuitive release mechanism, for fuss-free removal and refitting. Behind it is a handy drop-down sun visor, to bring instant relief from the sun’s glare.

Ventilation ports front and back, and internal channelling, provide a cooling flow of air when the temperature rises. The breathable and hypoallergenic comfort liner can be removed and washed. Neat touches like a Chin Curtain, to help reduce wind noise; the built-in breath guard; and the quick release Micrometric Metal Buckle fastener, add to the day-to-day usability.

Like all LS2 helmets, the Strobe II’s shell is designed with a ‘long-oval’ shape to follow the natural contour of the head. Combined with Laser-Cut Foam inserts, it gives a snug and reassuring fit. There are three outer shell sizes, for the closest fit in each of the seven sizes, and to keep weight to minimum.

The LS2 Strobe II is available in sizes XS to 3XL, in four solid colour options priced at just £99.99, and four graphic schemes costing only £119.99.

LS2 Subverter Now With MIPS

Updated for 2020, LS2’s popular Subverter motocross helmet now comes with MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology.

The latest innovation in helmet safety, the MIPS Brain Protection System is designed to protect against rotational brain injury – caused by movement between the brain and skull when the head suffers an impact.

MIPS is a low friction layer that sits between the helmet’s EPS liner and fabric lining, allowing the head to move 10-15mm relative to the helmet in all directions. This redirects energies and forces otherwise transferred to the brain, reducing the risk of damage to brain tissue due to rotational motion.

Light, bright and cool, the Subverter is one of LS2’s most popular motocross helmets. The outer shell is made from LS2’s exclusive Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA), a super strong material rivalling high-end composites, which offers flexibility for energy absorption and high penetration resistance, yet remains lightweight at just 1300 grams.

ECE 22.05 certified, it’s legal to wear on the road and carries the ACU Gold sticker for off-road sport. It comes in three outer shell sizes for the smallest, lightest possible helmet in each fitment range.

Emergency Release System cheek pads enable first responders to remove the Subverter with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck.

Multiple venting and channelling around the head allow plenty of airflow, while the breathable, hypoallergenic lining is removable and washable, so it can be kept fresh and clean all-season.

The long peak is adjustable and a wide aperture offers plenty of all-round vision and can accommodate most styles of motocross goggles.

The Subverter comes in sizes XS-3XL, in a choice of two solid and 10 eye-catching graphic finishes, including exclusive ‘Chrome’ and ‘Max’ options. Solid colour versions retail at £149.99; graphic versions sell for £179.99; Chrome and Max options cost £199.99.

Its quick-release, 3D Optically Correct visor comes with a Pinlock Max Vision Anti Fog System. Behind that is a flip-down sun visor – easily operated with a gloved hand – so low sun and glare from wet roads can be dealt with in seconds.

The hypoallergenic Magna-Tech lining is removable and Emergency Release System cheek pads come as standard. The Vector is also designed to accept LS2’s LINKIN Ride Pal Bluetooth system, for full wireless connectivity on the move.

When the going gets hot Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with adjustable intake ports, internal channels and exhaust ports – keeps the wearer cool.
