I recently bought one of these after watching your videos. I absolutely love it so far. I’ve been using a half helmet for many years but wanted something with more protection. The versatility is amazing!

[@richardjaffe4736]

If I may be so bold as to add a couple of pieces of information to your very thorough video about the LS2, which is clearly very helpful to your viewers..... I have the LS2 carbon with cardo for about 8months now. the 'brains' of the cardo unit is meant to fit inside the helmet in the back, and charges with a usb-c. Unlike the detatchable cardo units that can be removed from the hemet to be charged in a location different than where the helmet is, the custom cardo unit that fits inside the LS2 helmet has to stay in the helmet while charging. not a big deal, just cant charge it on your nightstand since the helmet is so big. Second.... for better helmet ventilation, i would suggest leaving the chin vent in the open position so that when you flip the chin bar all the way back, the air that comes out of the back of the helmet can continue to exit through the chin vent. another advantage to the LS2 is its 5 year warranty! and one disadvantage i found was that with the clear shield in the up position, the helmet does not vent very well since air doesnt flow into the front vent as well as when the clear shield is down. hoping this info is beneficial to your viewers. As usual, you continue to recommend EXCELLENT products which is why I and so many others trust your opinions. Thank you for putting out such great content!

Thanks for the information appreciate it

[@CMFS101]

So upgrading to the Packtalk edge is out of the question?

[@richardjaffe4736]

@@CMFS101you CAN use packtalk edge on the advant x carbon. It’s just challenging to find a good spot to stick it on tue side of tue helmet. It’s a tight fit but I have seen it done. The advant carbon has a space dedicated to put the brains of the LS2 branded Cardo and a smaller controller unit to mount on the side of the helmet. This is my experience with it. However I respectfully defer to @cycle-fanatix for his thoughts on the subject.

@@richardjaffe4736 How is the Bluetooth at 70-80 mph? My wife rides on the back and the current blue tooth we have gets screetchy 60-80 mph

[@richardjaffe4736]

@@stevenholmes8016 the Bluetooth isn’t a problem. But music isn’t clear over 70 for me. Likely because I don’t ride w chin bar down I usually ride with an open face. Also I use a windshield and over 70 I start to feel the wind much more significantly.

[@prrunner420]

I purchased the same helmet but the carbon about 6 months ago. I love it. I was rocking a Daytona modular helmet that I bought to replacing an old LS2 helmet. It gives you the option to transition when it’s cold, starts to raining or if you want the wind in your face without the sail you get with the modular. I highly recommend LS2 Advant X.

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

Same here

My wife and I have been using the Simpson Mod Bandit for the last few years and we have been really happy with them. After watching your video we are rethinking what we have and perhaps making a change down the road. Thanks for the great video.

[@70Drec]

Picked one up this year in the spring in white. I use the tinted, one of the benefits you didn’t mention (because you keep the clear visor) is how extremely simple it is to swap out the visors. Great helmet. Excellent review .

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

Good choice! 👍

[@williampaynton8937]

I have the LS2 Valiant and it has been awesome. Will be looking to upgrade.

[@ljvfr]

I purchased the same helmet in white and then added the Cardo system myself. I just got back from a 3400 mile trip on my 24 SG and I have to agree it is a phenomenal helmet. From 40* mornings to 90* afternoons it worked and was so versatile with all weather I encountered. My other modular helmet is a SCHUBERTH and it is not as good as this LS2 as far as functionality. Best money I have ever spent on a helmet by far. Enjoy the videos John, keep them coming.

Excellent review. This is obviously a quality product. If a company can make a product that impresses CycleFanatix, it's a good product that someone can buy with confidence. I will definitely be purchasing this helmet for long trips, to supplement my Seer that I use for fair weather. Thanks John, for all you do for us, by testing, reviewing, and recommending premium products for the motorcycle community. Keep rockin the videos. I'm rootin fer ya! Country... out.

Nice helmet for sure! I continue to always reach for my Daytona 3/4 helmet. I have a white for summer, it reflects the heat. Also, bought a clear Anti-Fog Biltwell bubble shield for the rain and cold. Just leave it in my saddlebag with my rain gear. I also sprayed it with Rain-X for plastic to help bead off the rain.

Great video John. My previous helmet was a Shark that had the same functions but, went with the Schuberth C3 Pro as it was a much quieter helmet than the Shark Evo One 2 and i typically listen to music through the helmet speakers. Love that chin bar feature. Will have to check out the LS2.

[@randyhayden9006]

@@testflight06 Hi, I really like my white Schuberth C3 Pro but I’m going to look into the LS2 Advant X because of the chinbar feature. I bought an inexpensive bluetooth device that sounds pretty good. Paid $11 for it on Amazon. So far,so good. Ride safe.

[@thomasmadden6853]

Thank you for the video! I also grabbed the LS2 Advant X, but wanted more color options, so I found them from Champion Helmets in The Netherlands, which has the EU safety ratings. Both me and my wife have one now.

[@randomstuffwithjoe]

I like the design of this helmet. My wife had been wanting a new helmet and she wanted a modular this time. We initially looked at the Shoei and HJC and she didn't like either. So we went to a local Cycle Gear and she tried the LS2 Advant on as well as a Bell.. and then we discovered a Schuberth C3 and she fell in love with it.. but they didn't have her size (xs). So we ended up going online to order it and discovered Schuberth had an upgraded C5 and thats what we ended up getting her. She really loves it. I'm thinking I may go to Cycle Gear and try on the Schuberth now too. Her new helmet is super premium. But I really like the design of the LS2 and how the chin bar goes all the way back. Thats a nice feature. FYI.. the HJC i100 has the same feature.

[@drjjpak]

I wore an lS2 on a 4,000 mile trip Phoenix to Canada and back. Worked great, mostly with chin rotated back, and tinted visor during day and clear visor at night. Fit my prescription glasses OK underneath. My only complaint was that tinted visor was fragile - I dropped the helmet (once, falling off the side mirror) and the tinted visor got off its track, so it did not hold position and did not go up and down properly. I managed to get it back on, but now it pops off easily. I also wonder about crash safety.

[@AZ_Baggin]

Thanks! Been waiting for this review. I have a shoei neotec 2 and live and ride in AZ. When i ride with it open in 110f just get some breeze in the straights i get home and my neck is sore for days. Thanks again.

[@whtt001]

I was pretty sure i was going to order this. Your video sealed the deal. It's ordered now.Thanks for the link. I couldn't find the carbon in my size anywhere in stock. I didn't go with the built in cardo system. But i did order the packtalk pro seperate.

Thought the Carbon would be lighter that it is so will be interested in your comparison versus the regular Advant X

[@CGB65]

Hey John. Excellent review. I also have a modular helmet but it's more of a conventional modular like Sandy or Danny 's. No matter which full face helmet I seem to pick. I find them louder than a 3/4 or smaller helmet. Do you wear ear plugs or other ear protection when you ride?

[@IamSirdauntis]

Thanks. I just bought it. You have a new subscriber.

[@cliff8675]

I have a Sedici Sistema and it is getting to be time to replace it. I use LS2 snowmobile gear in my Sedici for winter riding. While I like the Sistema 2, I may move to the Advant X instead. It has the full flip and ECE 22.06 rating that I want. This wasn't on my radar before, but it sure is now.

I wear a Bell modular and ride it ALL DAY long with the shin up. All day... The ONLY time it catches wind is if I forgot to close the visor first, but with the visor closed and the whole modular front up there is ZERO problems. Not really sure what you are talking about there with the Bell at least. All day long with the the modular front open. city and highways.

[@PauHanaProductions]

Great review! And thanks for posting it. I just spent almost 8000 miles wondering if you were ever going to put the chin bar down lol Im definitely adding this helpmet to my cart. Im currently using a Scorpion Covert X and its similar in its versatility but in order to convert it, you have to remove/add pieces. its not too much of a problem since ive got bags to store them in, but man that LS2 looks nice! Any knowledge on how well the Cardo system works with it, and with other riders in a group?

[@2wheeledrocket92]

How does it do in the rain? I had a different helmet that was similar and leaked. I love the functionality of this helmet but if it’s going to leak down the visor I will look for something else.

[@anthonypesquera5858]

I love my LS2 Carbon with Cardo

[@dgross2009]

Just received same yesterday but am a little disappointed in the weight. IMO the Carbon should be much lighter and I think they may play games with the weight on the LS2 site. My bathroom scale says 4 lbs and I expected closer to 3. Could have gotten the base model with Cardo much cheaper at my Harley dealer but did not want to regret that I didn't pick up the better version. However love the look especially with the dark smoke. Haven't ridden yet but expect to this weekend despite the rain. Full face should help with that. Not disappointed at all with the sound quality and operation of the bluetooth system. Fits true to size also. There are KZbin videos that complain that it runs tight but my large fits just right.

[@DucDNA]

I"ve been using the AGV Sport Modular Carbon Fiber for over 3 years now. Super light and comfortable. Wind noise is not the best but that's to be expected with such a light helmet. I thought I would upgrade to the Shoei Neotec 3 so I ordered one, tried it out, and HATED it! It was the most uncomfortable helmet I've ever wore. The liner pressed so hard against the front part of my middle ears, I could still feel it an hour after I took it off. The mechanism to open up the helmet is cumbersome and hard to manipulate with gloves. You have to pinch it with two fingers where as the AGC only requires you to pull up with it under the chin. The ratchet strap has to be the worst design ever for a helmet. It's very uncomfortable and cuts into your neck and, unlike a D ring, you have no way to locket it to your bike under the seat. You have to carry a separate cable lock and run it through your face shield. The Shoei Neotec 3 wasn't any quieter than the AGV, which was a surprise to me.

congrats on the video, it was very informative! I wanted to ask about the helmet size you chose! did you choose the number based on the exact measurement of your head circumference? or did you choose a larger size for greater comfort? I have seen in a similar video that someone who used it mentioned that he had to choose a bigger number because he was pushing it left and right after a long time of use! so i'm a bit confused as to what size to choose, the measurement i've taken is 56.5-57cm or 22.2-22.4in
