Trio of LS2 Challenger Helmet graphics

Developed with LS2’s MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 riders, the Challenger Carbon combines the latest race technology with first class safety and practicality for road riding.

There are three new colour options for 2022;

  1. One of two new ‘Alloy’ graphics combines Solid Carbon, luxurious titanium/chrome overlays and splashes of orange, that are striking in their own right, but would also complement colours found on many bikes.
  2. The sporty White/Blue/Red ‘Alloy’ option looks the part with a wide variety of motorcycles using that colour combination.
  3. ‘Fold’ – the third new graphic – will definitely draw attention, with its eye-catching Hi-Vis Yellow highlights.

In all colour options, the Challenger C’s 100% high-grade wide weave carbon fibre shell offers high penetration resistance and energy dispersion, yet weighs just 1350 grams. As you’d expect, it’s both ACU Gold and ECE 22.05 certified for track and road use.

The shell comes in three outer sizes, for the smallest, lightest possible helmet in each fitment range, and has a long-oval shape to follow the natural contour of the head.

A quick-release, wide aperture visor comes with a Pinlock Max Vision Anti Fog System as standard and there’s a flip-down internal sun visor too.

Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation keeps the wearer cool and comfortable, while the breathable, hypoallergenic liner comes with Emergency Release System cheek pads.

The LS2 Challenger Carbon is available in sizes XXS – 3XL and retails at £329.99 for the new graphics. Prices start at £299.99 for the ‘Solid’ Carbon option.

It comes complete with High Quality Bag, Pinlock Max Vision, Tinted Visor, Reflective Stickers and an Air Bag Support.

Storming graphics from LS2 Helmets

Offering top spec at a very accessible price, LS2’s FF800 Storm is a popular choice amongst canny riders – and now with four fresh colour options for 2022, it’s even more eye-catching.

The super bold Black/Yellow/Red combo of the new Drop scheme is definitely for those who like to get noticed; for riders who like a more subtle look, the Velvet blends Black and Rainbow shades for sophisticated style. Fans of a more contemporary colour palette get two versions of the Sprinter in up-to-the-minute Black/Red/Titanium scheme and the uber cool Matt Black/Silver/Cobalt.

For a crystal clear view, the quick-release visor is 3D optically correct and comes with a Pinlock anti-fog shield as standard. Behind that sits a drop-down sun visor.

Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with adjustable intake ports at the chin and crown, internal channels and exhaust ports – keeps the rider cool and comfortable.

The hypoallergenic liner is made from moisture-wicking fabric and is removable and washable for season-long comfort and freshness. A Chin Curtain also features, to help keep out wind-blast and noise inside to a minimum.

Tackle all terrains with LS2 gloves

New from LS2, All Terrain Gloves are lightweight, breathable and comfortable for long days on tarmac and trails, with the reassurance of CE-approval.

All Terrain gloves feature goat skin in their construction, because it’s tough and durable, as well as soft and supple, for maximum feedback and feel from the controls. It’s also double layered at the palm and other key areas.

Level 1-certified TPU protectors feature over the knuckles, and there are padded sections at the base of the hand and over the vulnerable scaphoid area too.

Stretch panels at the finger joints – and comfort Lycra sections between each finger – maximise movement and feel, as well as aiding precise operation of the throttle, clutch and front brake: crucial when tackling loose surfaces.

A silicone print on the palm increases grip on the bars – also handy when the going gets rough.

The short cuff design sits easily under riding jackets, and has micro adjustable hook and loop closure for a snug and secure fit.

Index fingers are touchscreen compatible, so there’s no need to remove the gloves to operate devices.
