New LS2 Snow Winter Riding Gloves

Light, flexible and packed with practical features to deal with the cold and wet, LS2 Snow gloves offer comfort and control on chilly winter rides.

Underneath the tough textile outer shell is a Hipora® waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane, which keeps wind and rain out but allows perspiration to escape, for dry hands and fingers.

Velcro® Flap adjustment at the cuff provides a tight seal around jacket sleeves, preventing rain and wind from seeping in. The wrist is also secured by Velcro®, for a snug fit.

Power Stretch Leather at the fingers and wrist help with delicate control of the clutch, throttle and brakes – crucial on slippery streets.

Should the worst happen, KP1-rated knuckle protection, TPR protection at the fingers, as well as reinforced palm and finger sidewalls, give peace of mind. A palm slider also features to help protect the vulnerable wrist bones.

A Clear Vision visor wipe is fitted to each of the index fingers – an invaluable addition to any winter glove – and touchscreen-compatible sections enable electronic devices to be operated without the need to remove the gloves.

LS2 Snow winter riding gloves are available in Black, Black/Green or Black/Grey, in sizes S-2XL, and retail at just £59.99 inc VAT.

Lighter adventures with LS2 Helmets

Light on the head and the pocket, the full carbon LS2 MX701 Explorer C dual sport helmet weighs in at just 1380g and sells for only £299.99.

The shell is 100% carbon fibre, made from 6k twill weave, which is light, strong and maintains fabric stability, even when formed into complex contours.

Three outer shell sizes offer the closest possible helmet in each fitment range, while the long-oval shape and laser-cut foam inserts follow the natural contour of the head and give a snug and comfortable fit.

The breathable hypoallergenic liner adds to the luxury feel and it is removable and washable for season-long freshness.

Dynamic flow-through ventilation, with intake ports at the crown, sides and chin, internal channels and rear exhaust ports, keeps the rider cool and comfortable.

The wide aperture gives a huge view and the visor is Pinlock-ready – a Pinlock anti-fog shield is included as standard. Behind that sits a drop-down sun visor.

The peak is adjustable and can also be removed, transforming the Explorer C into a sport style helmet for road or track use.

A Double D-Ring Buckle gives secure fastening and for added strength the chin strap is anchored to the shell with LS2’s unique Metal Security Plates.

For complete peace of mind, an Emergency Release System allows first responders to take out the cheek pads in seconds, so the Explorer C can be removed with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck.

The MX701 Explorer C comes in sizes XS-2XL, is ECE 22.05 certified and is available in a solid carbon finish and six graphic options.

Retail prices are £299.99 for the solid carbon option and £319.99 for graphics.

New LS2 Explorer adventure helmet

Light, tough, and packed with practical features, the new LS2 MX701 Explorer dual-sport helmet is made to take tough trails and tours in its stride.

The outer shell is made from LS2’s own HPFC – High Performance Fiberglass Composite – providing high penetration resistance and flexibility for energy dispersion.

For day-long comfort it’s lightweight – just 1460g – comes in three outer shell sizes for the closest possible helmet in each fitment range, and is designed with a long-oval shape to follow the natural contour of the head.

Laser-Cut foam inserts and a fully breathable hypoallergenic liner add to the luxurious fit and feel. As you’d expect, the liner is removable and washable.

Dynamic flow-through ventilation, with intake ports at the crown, sides and chin, internal channels and exhaust ports, helps keep the rider cool and comfortable on warmer days.

The wide aperture visor is Pinlock-ready, (a Pinlock anti-fog shield is included as standard), and an easy-to-operate, drop-down sun visor also features.

Underlining its dual-sport credentials, the adjustable peak can be completely removed, transforming the Explorer into a sport style helmet for road or track use.

A secure fit is provided by the micrometric metal buckle and reinforced chin strap – the latter is anchored with LS2’s unique Metal Security Plate for added strength.

For complete peace of mind, an emergency release system allows first responders to remove the cheek pads in seconds, so the helmet can be taken off with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck.

The Explorer comes in sizes XS-2XL, is ECE 22.05 certified and comes in a choice of two solid and three graphic options. Retail prices are just £199.99 for solid colours and £219.99 for graphics.

New FIM approved helmet from LS2

LS2’s full-carbon FF805 Thunder is now available with FIM approval for racing at the highest level. It is currently being worn by riders such as John McPhee in Moto3 and Michael Rinaldi in WorldSBK, as well as Jack Kennedy (pictured) and many others in all classes of the BSB Championship.

Road and track
LS2 now offers riders two versions of the Thunder – one with full FIM certification for international racing, and a regular option, made to a similar specification, for road use. Both are ECE 22.05 approved and carry the ACU gold sticker for UK-based track events.

FIM homologation is obtained when specific high performance and quality standards are met by the manufacturer. The Thunder’s 100% carbon fibre shell offers high penetration resistance and energy dispersion, yet weighs just 1400 grams. The outer shell comes in three sizes, for a safe and snug fit across each fitment range. Should the worst happen, an Emergency Release System allows first responders to remove the cheek pads without disturbing the head and neck.

Optimised vision
The wide 3D optically-correct visor features an ingenious quick release system, designed to help it stay intact during a crash. It’s also ready to accept tear-offs, and comes with a Pinlock Anti-Fog System as standard.

Cool and comfortable
Ventilation ports at the chin, forehead and crown, internal channeling through the EPS liner and large exhaust ports at the rear, offer superior venting – keeping the wearer cool and comfortable when the temperature rises. The internal comfort liner is breathable and hypoallergenic, as well as being removable and washable, for year-round freshness.

Fully equipped
LS2 include plenty of useful accessories with the Thunder, supplying a helmet bag, helmet holdall, Pinlock, pack of tear-offs and helmet-support cushion with each one.

Prices for the LS2 FF805 Thunder start from just £379.99 for the solid carbon option; three eye-catching graphic designs sell for £419.99.

The Thunder FIM is produced in solid carbon for £499.99 and comes with a race pack that includes a dark visor, as well as other exclusive accessories.
