LS2 Helmet. Which One to Choose? (Review and Features)

The highlight is a newly designed chin bar mechanism that is smaller and slimmer than the original, making for a more aerodynamic shell that retains all of the features and functions of the original Valiant, but with a new more modern look. The Valiant 2 shell is constructed from LS2’s Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA), a lightweight strong composite material,  into two shell sizes. The interior comfort liner uses a high-tech fabric that wicks moisture, dries quickly and is fully removable and washable. The comfort pads are “Thermo-Formed” which eliminates the need for a layer of glue between the foam and the liner material and allows for improved breathability and are pre-curved using LS2’s 3D laser technology for all-day comfort and no hot spots. The helmet features multiple intake and exhaust ports ported through the EPS liner for flow-through ventilation. A full metal latch assures the chin bar will stay locked when closed, and an LS2 exclusive design keeps the chin bar securely in place at the back of the helmet when it is in the open position.

The shell is made from a blend of carbon fiber, Kevlar and fiberglass to provide more flexibility and offset kinetic energy. The 360 degree multi-density EPS safety liner has been carbon-infused for greater energy absorption and reduces the amount of moisture the liner will absorb for more consistent weight. All vents and gaskets are mounted with a precision fit and strategically placed for maximum airflow. The dual-ported chin vent assists with keeping the shield from fogging while also keeping you cool and comfortable on your ride. The Challenger also utilizes a Pinlock Max face shield to ensure clear vision on the road and a Double-D ring strap for a secure fit. The Challenger Carbon is the ultra-high performance version of the Standard LS2 Challenger Helmet. The Challenger Carbon Flames helmet is a long oval fit and meets or exceeds DOT and ECE certifications.

This re-designed rotational impact mitigation system replaces the prior Subverter Helmet’s MIPS design. The end result is a Subverter Evo Helmet that benefits from being sleeker, lighter and more protective for the rider. Paired up with LS2’s KPA shell construction, the Subverter Evo makes the most of the helmet’s three unique shell sizes for a smaller overall profile and reduced weight. Potential head and neck trauma is reduced further with the addition of a flexible, break-resistant sun peak.

The race-bred heritage continues with a grand total of thirty-five intake and exhaust ports for a truly winning vent scheme. The Subverter Evo’s vast eyeport delivers unsurpassed visibility and pairs with virtually any goggle. Interior fabrics use a moisture-wicking, antimicrobial design to maximize comfort and airflow, and the Subverter Evo Helmet achieves both DOT and ECE 22.05 safety certifications.
