Giving The COMPETITION a Run For The Money | LS2 Thunder Carbon

Just like it says in the title, this helmet in my opinion is on par with some of the top brands. I used to be stuck on the Shoei and AGV bandwagon, while they do make great helmets, you can't go wrong with this one. Definitely different if you are wanting to try something new!

Beautiful helmet its good to see you still pushing👊 btw what is your opinion on Mips?

[@itsmeericb]

Thanks! I think mips is great! Not sure if all helmets incorporate this feature but should be for the impact safety.

[@trevor2830]

@@itsmeericb Agreed! Given that ABS and other features are coming with many bikes now I was wondering if Mips and the industry on the whole will be considering these measures as standard. If I had to say one thing about this helmet it'll probably be that they need a mips option. Btw I see lots of inspiration from others such as Icon airflight with this helmet. Either way its smoking 🔥

Dat RC8 doe..... 😍😍😍😍😍

[@KageFAUS]

Hello, I would like to know where you got this visor because even while searching I only come across iridium gold is not "multicolor" thank you!

[@Tremonius]

Another awesome video. Subbed, please make more RC8R content. I just got a 2013. Please do a brake pad installment. 🙏🏼

[@itsmeericb]

Thanks! I plan to make more videos but I am currently out of the country and my bike is hibernating. When I return I plan to do more maintenance videos! Please be patient! 🙂 Thanks for the sub! Stayed tuned because I do have another RC8R video coming soon.

[@twowheelintellectual6628]

Def gonna have to pay attention to his helmet

[@english.ricardo]

Excellent review man. Too bad this hemet is too expensive down in Brazil.

[@itsmeericb]

Thanks! Oh it is? That is too bad. How much is it there?

[@english.ricardo]

@@itsmeericb Sadly yeah. In dollar it would be equivalent to almost the double. Can you believe it?If I was there, with the same amount I could buy two of them.

[@mt07arg]

​@@english.ricardo Argentina vibes 😂🥲

[@lg71185]

I want this for my track days

[@Daniel-vu4qu]

Honestly looks like an AliExpress Pista 😂

[@itsmeericb]

😂

[@Bok2022st]

You're pretty much right I bought one it's expensive rubbish

[@samtorok8884]

How's the wind noise? Would love to know, and great vid

[@itsmeericb]

Not bad but just like with any carbon helmet, it’s little loud.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Nice helmet. Not sure if you saw but your thumbnail has thunder spelt wrong. Tunder like tinder.

[@itsmeericb]

Haha! Dang it! Thanks for the heads up!

[@Sametbay940]

Hello my friend. I'm torn between AGV K6S and this one, AGV 10gr is lighter and the price is the same. Which one should I choose in terms of protection certificate and other features?

[@itsmeericb]

Depends on what type of riding you are doing. Riding at the track then get this one.

[@frederikmyrrhj7360]

Hi, great review video! Do you know if the helmet is Cardo PACKTALK compatible?

[@itsmeericb]

Thanks! Yes it is! I have a Cardo Edge on mine right now! 👍👍 It May feel a little tight putting the helmet on around your ears but it’s not bad. Also it sounds good as the JBL speakers are close to your ears.

[@frederikmyrrhj7360]

Thank you!

[@Crimson_Strider]

Hmm how is the sizing on these helmet? Can you put it side by side to a agv corsa.

[@itsmeericb]

Not too bad. I feel it’s just slightly loose just like the Pista when I had it.

[@AJCoReTV]

How much does it weigh??

[@itsmeericb]

About 3.25 lbs

[@jkpisces]

would you recommend this or the MT KRE+ carbon helmet?

[@itsmeericb]

This helmet just because I don’t know much about the other.

[@jkpisces]

@@itsmeericb thanks

[@alexandercajipe1721]

hey boss,is the color of the visor is revo red deep or revo clear red?

[@itsmeericb]

Not sure. I thought it was iridium red.

[@alexandercajipe1721]

@@itsmeericb there were two variant available online for red edition either red clear or red deep..help me out to choose between those two,visor kinda expensive for thunder ff805..im having trouble with the smoke visor that comes with it riding at night..thanks you!new subcriber☺️

[@exellanouno]

If i compare ls2 thunder with shoei x14, what should i buy for mw daily or trackday, cause I am confuse with this two helmet

[@itsmeericb]

To be honest they both make for a good daily or track helmet. They are both comfortable too! Really comes down to looks because they are both great!

[@exellanouno]

@@itsmeericb hi thanks, finally i buy ls2 thunder

[@zacharymartin8298]

@@exellanouno how do you like it? Thinking of buying it also.

[@UWfalcin]

Where did you find that visor? I couldn’t even find it on LS2’s official webpage. Would like to see if they have one for my challenger.

[@itsmeericb]

It was thrown into the helmet box when I got it. Not sure where they got it from but I forgives they had it on the website. I might be able to find out where they have them. I thought I saw a blue, silver and gold version as well.

[@itsmeericb]

Perhaps it’s not made anymore?

[@UWfalcin]

@@itsmeericb Yeah that is all of the different versions I can find too but not your red version. You’re probably right. Your combination with the visor and matte carbon fibre looks 10/10! I have the glossy carbon fibre version myself, love it. 👍🏼

[@itsmeericb]

@@UWfalcin I love it! Goes perfect with my KTM!

[@itsmeericb]

So I just found out that you’ll need to reach out to your local LS2 dealer and ask about special ordering it. You will want to ask for part number 04-109. Guess there is limited supply.

[@Im_Vigilant]

bro i was just looking at this helmet online lol. looking to replace my shoei rf-1200. had it for 6 years now lol

[@johnthomas2485]

Definitely time to upgrade 😳

[@itsmeericb]

Haha! Nice! Yeah man definitely time to upgrade!

[@777Edub]

That's exactly what I'm here for and I also have had the rf 1200 for about 6 years now, that's funny 🤣

[@Im_Vigilant]

@@itsmeericb I'm so indecisive with helmets. I'm looking at th rf-1400, the agv k6, and this one. the HJC rpha is a maybe also. send help

[@itsmeericb]

@@777Edub Man that a long time! Haha!!

[@ChrisBOMtoATL]

LS2 not a gread brand due to sub standard quality. No offence just had bad experience with LS2 Arrow helmet last year.

[@itsmeericb]

No worries. Have you looked at the Thunder? Much improved helmet. I did have a friend have a bad wreck at the track. Had a high side that sent her to the moon and she was wearing an LS2 Arrow GP EVO. Saved her head big time.

[@adswu2008]

See the review of an early ls2 carbon helmet ..it's not safe

[@Wojtek-J]

Can you paste some link to that review? It doesn't look like this helmet is not safe if it passed such certifications (FIM version is also available).

I just bought one of these in 2024 I have since learnt that they are pretty much Chinese rubbish has anybody else found out this information feel a little bit ripped off

too heavy for a carbon fiber helmet
