LS2 Advant X Carbon - Future II White / Blue

I'll admit I initially bought the non-carbon version of the Advant-X, but was a bit disappointed to find it weighed more than I expected, and on my scales, more than claimed. I was coming from a Shoei NXR which is a light full face lid, at 1300gms, and I really thought I would find the difference a problem. So SBS kindly refunded me and I ordered the Carbon instead. My head measures 61cm, so an XL size is fine for fit, and considering I am just into the upper shell size, it weighs 1605gms on my scales, which I am happy with, and is nearly 190 gms lighter than the non-carbon version.
Having only 2 shell sizes does mean it is a physically big helmet though.
A 180 degree flip-over was important for me and it works beautifully, and is easy to operate with one gloved hand.
The cheek pads make you look like a baboon sucking a lemon, as ever, but I'll either stitch them back or get used to it.
The gloss black is glossier than the photos, and while a black helmet isn't perhaps the best idea, there are some reflective stickers in the box that'll keep French cops happy.
The black spare visor is definitely not road legal, so not quite sure if I'd use it, but the small rucsac bag supplied is a great extra to have. Overall I'm very happy with this, my first ever modular.

If you're looking for a solid modular helmet that doesn't weigh you down, the LS2 Advant X Carbon Solid Gloss is a great pick. The full carbon fiber shell keeps it super light for a flip-front, so you won't feel neck strain even on long rides. The 180º rotating chin bar locks securely in place, giving you that true dual-functionality without feeling flimsy.

Ventilation is solid, keeping you cool on warm rides, and the visor system is top-notch—clear and sharp with a Pinlock included to prevent fogging. Plus, the drop-down sun visor is a lifesaver in bright conditions. Comfort-wise, the lining is plush, removable, and glasses-friendly, which is a big win for riders who wear specs.

If I had to nitpick, wind noise is a bit noticeable at high speeds, but that's common for modulars. Overall, for its lightweight build, versatility, and premium feel, this helmet punches well above its price range. A solid choice for touring and all-season riders!

Nice styling and like the extras, dark Pfizer and backpack also a very good fit

After changing my riding style to a Cruiser from an adventure bike, I liked the idea of an open face helmet but wasn't sure about riding with it permanently and having had a Schuberth E1 before I appreciated the flip up option.
So my best option was a 'Flip-Back' for the best of both worlds, as there aren't as many lids available in this format and I wanted the lightest available due to neck issues I could only really choose between the Scorpion and the LS2 Advant X Carbon. The Scorpion I first tried was definitely not in the same league as my previous brands like Schuberth, Shoei & Arai seemingly less of a solid build quality but the main issue was the chin bar was extremely 'notchy' and difficult to return to the front position so that was returned with the intention of trying another but after also trying the LS2 I felt it was a much better quality product around with a nice smooth chin bar action and also a super quick and easy visor removal system for which a dark tinted visor was also included along with the standard clear one, my only slight negative is that I find the the tints on both the internal drop down visor and the main one are a little thin so having the extra dark visor is useful although I do prefer to have just a clear option while riding.
Having worn it for a few decent rides now find it comfortable and easy to operate the chin bar, I would say it is a simular head shape to my previous Schuberth.
Buing from Sportsbikeshop is always a pleasant and easy experience with free returns, on the whole I would definitely recommend trying the LS2 if you are looking for a 'Flip-up' or 'Flip-back' helmet!

I have purchased the second helmet from LS2 and is a good price for a good quality and very comfortable, lightweight.

Early days yet but very pleased with this helmet, it appears well built and is very comfortable, great field of vision through the visor and clear optics. Flip back chin guard mechanism works very well and makes the helmet very versatile especially on warmer days. I have helmets which are quieter in terms of wind noise but this lid is more than acceptable I wouldn't describe it as noisy at all.
Helmet arrived well packaged, the box contained both clear and tinted visors and 1 anti fog pin lock and a good quality padded helmet bag. I've registered for the extended warranty (5 years) and hope to never have to use it.

This helmet is just perfect for my partner and definitely worth the money with everything that you get.
It fitted him perfectly and he found it is great quality and he feels safe when he is riding on the bike.
I would recommend this product to anyone who is thinking of getting a helmet as I cannot say anything bad about it

Fits great for my head shape. Lots of good features and seems well made. Wanted a 180 flip front and this is good value.

This is my first LS2 helmet which was purchased to replace my trusty aging Roof Boxer V8 and was to be primarily for touring. However I have now ridden approx 500 miles in this helmet to fully try it out and as a result I now use this as my main go to helmet. The fit, finish and operation of the helmet all feel durable and high quality, the head fit description of 'long oval' was accurate, sadly this info is not something all manufacturers give you, but I found it very helpful when deciding to purchase this helmet. The end result is a very nice fitting quiet and very easy to use modular helmet that is stylish and incredibly compact and lightweight for a modular lid. You also get a nice protective carry bag included along with a dark visor and pin lock protector which is a nice touch and gives an additional premium feel to this product. Only negative I had was that the cheek pads are a little snug at first, but I can report that the foam has started to ease a little and the fit is getting better the more I wear it. Ventilation works fine and the flip down sun visor is a great feature meaning you dont have to wear sunglasses, even though the helmet has side channels to accommodate glasses easily which is helpful if you need or want to wear glasses or shades.
Would I recommend this helmet? That's a definite Yes, the price is at the higher end but I am personally very happy with this product overall and feel it was worth while purchase.

This is an excellent helmet, light in weight. Really good mechanism. Visor exchange could not have been made easier, with a clear field of view at sides.
Ventilation is good, comfort is okay, except I found the cheek pads too large. I also like a little more packing at the crown, especially for those of us with less hair.
Coms pre-installed, would have been great, but for the money a great purchase.

Perfect helmet. Comfortable and lightweight. Great price too

looks great fits the head very well but a little tight on the cheeks may soften up over use only just purchased it very good quality

I had the older LS2 but was looking to upgrade - there aren't many helmets like this - only really the shark but ls2 fits my head best
so I treated myself to the carbon one.
Nice and light - nice and quiet -cardo headset fits in great
Pinlock visor and a black visor included.

A nice fit and certainly appears a quality build, flip is easy to use at any time

I was looking for a replacement for my modular shark and never tried or heard much about ls2 . There are no other modular helmets available the ls2 is heaps better the mech is smooth there is pinlock dark & clear visor internal sun visor price is very good at 499 for helmet get bag and rucksack bag but for me it was the quality the lining was great and vents work this is the best modular market the non modular is very similar to the carbon except for weight (50g) so I suggest at 325 even better value
