LS2’s popular 180-degree flip Advant X gets four fresh graphic options for 2026. Styled to complement the latest generation of street bikes, the new ‘Nova’ line contains three matt options – Matt Black/Red, Matt Black/Green/Hi-Vis Yellow and Matt Black/Blue/Red – plus an eye-catching gloss scheme in White/Blue/Red.
With UK summers getting ever hotter, the dual-homologated Advant X is increasingly popular. Fully certified P/J for use in both the open and closed position, it transforms from full-face to open-face in seconds, letting riders keep their cool in a heatwave, then flips back to full-face protection when the pace picks up or the weather turns.
Ventilation ports at the chin and forehead, internal channelling through the EPS liner and large exhaust ports at the rear provide a cooling flow of air, while the breathable, hypoallergenic comfort liner is removable and washable.
The shell is made from High Performance Fibreglass Composite (HPFC): strong, flexible and keeping weight down to just 1600g; low for a helmet of this type. It’s certified to the latest ECE 22.06 safety standard and comes in two outer shell sizes for the closest fit across the range. The ‘long-oval’ shape follows the natural contour of the head and, combined with Laser-Cut Foam inserts, gives a snug and reassuring fit.
The opening mechanism holds the chin bar close to the face, so there’s less leverage on the neck and head when opening and closing, and it automatically lifts the visor with the chin bar for hassle-free operation.
A Twin Visor System pairs a scratch and UV-resistant 3D Optically Correct main visor with a drop-down sun visor for instant relief from glare. Even better, the Advant X comes with a tinted visor and Pinlock® 120XLT MaxVision™ anti-fog insert included FREE; so it’s ready for summer sun and early-morning starts straight out of the box.
Practical touches include a chin curtain to help reduce wind noise, a quick-release Micrometric Metal Buckle and Emergency Release System cheek pads. The Advant X is also ready for LS2’s latest Spectrum intercom, for easy plug-and-play connectivity.
The LS2 Advant X is available in sizes XS–3XL, RRP £329.99 for graphics, including the new Nova schemes, and from £299.99 for solid colours.
