LS2 Advant Xcarbon Helmet

Today on Baggers and BS I finally got my LS2 Advant X Carbon Helmet. I wanted to just give everyone a brief description of what it came with and my initial thoughts on how it feels, looks and the quality so far. This helmet has excellent reviews and I new nothing about it till my friend Rob @teal_roadie sent it to me. So I pulled the trigger and ordered it to see what the reviews are all about and why haven't I heard of this helmet before.

i really love this helmet. i've been using it for about a week and take it for a long ride, i use it for non-stop 7 hour driving and almost no complain rather than the new tight fit. a bit tight for new helmet, i hope it gets bit loose overtime so can fit comfortably. and one thing i didn't like about this is the sun visor is purple tinted, i usually use dark green tinted sun visor like nolan/xlite/hjc does.

Very nice!!!! Order one yesterday with the Bluetooth, excited!!! 😎✌🏽

[@Baggersandbs]

Yes, it comes with a clear shield, and it comes with a dark smoke shield also as well as the pin lock

[@bjornaltmann8184]

I have the predecessor, the valiant 2 and unfortunately had to sell it, because have 2 hot spots, hurting a lot after 30 minutes. Its a pity because I like the helmet a lot, will try the successor, this Advant X and hope it will not hurt anymore, so I will ask the dealer if I can wear it at home and if I have seen star wars part 1-3 without pain it should be good! 😄

I like how the chin bar rotates all the way back

[@Baggersandbs]

Sam here. It was great when i wore it today.

[@Scumbag_Scott]

Yea I just bought it. Once you took it out I was like that looks sick. When you pushed it all the way back I paused the video and bought it.

[@Baggersandbs]

Awesome let me know how you like it, so far I love it

[@Baggersandbs]

The helmet will definitely break in. Mine has started to loosen up after the last couple of rides, I have not used the visor that comes down so I didn’t even notice it was purple to be honest with you, but I love that helmet overall.

[@MaxJW-ln4xm]

I'm a half helmet guy, when I wear one at all, but that is one sharp modular !!! Like the chin strap system too

[@Baggersandbs]

I used to wear half helmets. Figured modular is next best option for me. And just stayed with them after trying them.

[@Baggersandbs]

I love the helmet overall as far as the wind no is concerned I believe it’s probably about Apar with the Simpson that I had previously. But all in all I actually love this helmet I alternate it between that and the Bel SRT, which is also another fantastic helmet in my opinion.

[@Baggersandbs]

Awesome. Let me know what you think after you try it out.

[@Baggersandbs]

Awesome !!! You won’t be disappointed . Let me know how you like it.

[@Nils_Martin]

Very interesting video, thank you sir 👍🏼

[@Baggersandbs]

Very welcome

[@Baggersandbs]

I have not tried it in the LS2 I put my Cardo system in my Bell as of now.

[@Cornel1001]

I need vivid colour !

[@user-bike-hd58]

Love the helmet. Please let me know what you think after wearing it. Great video

[@Baggersandbs]

Thanks! Will do!

[@bishopruger]

This is the same helmet I'm considering. So it comes with a dark smoke shield?

[@hdryderct]

How are you liking it a month later? I’m torn between this and the Shoei Neotec 2 specifically because of the ECE rating this has that the Shoei doesn’t and I like that the chin bar goes all the way to the back. Also interested in keeping how the wind noise is.

[@Cornel1001]

Is noisy !

[@jclassen100]

I've had two LS2 helmets and they both had the same problem; they have no room for speakers (1/8" half-moon indent) resulting in speakers pressing hard against ears. I wear a medium, I tried a large and still same problem. I will never buy another one. If you want music and coms, I would find something else other than the LS2.

[@Baggersandbs]

I didn’t get to try putting the Cardo in there. But good to know for sure. Thank you.

[@danielmarsden777]

@@Baggersandbsthanks for the review. Have you tried putting the Cardo comms in yet? Be good to know as I’ll be doing the same thing.

[@debo5227]

I was really considering giving one of those helmets. I just want to know how you feel after you're riding with it

[@Baggersandbs]

I’ll definitely be posting once I start riding with it so far it seems awesome. I’m very curious as to the sound level inside if I can blog with it and just basically the overall comfort long-term. So I will definitely keep you posted.

[@arkmox]

Been researching and about to order this lid. Do you know what your head measurement is? Im at 61.5cm which says xl size.

[@Baggersandbs]

I was 24 inches around. Which is I believe 61 cm. So yes, that would be an extra large.

[@horizonzz6415]

I'm considering buying this hat. I have a question: should I go up a size? Does it feel squeezed?

[@Baggersandbs]

Feels perfect on my head. Slightly squeezed on my cheeks cause i have chubby cheeks. But not uncomfortable at all

[@rodnb2600]

Apparently you can get slim cheek padding if it's too tight!

[@Baggersandbs]

Well, that’s possibly something I may look into but so far it feels pretty comfortable

[@Baggersandbs]

Makes total sense. 😂😂

[@Baggersandbs]

Sled???

[@johnpiccirillo7311]

Where did you find the sled tinted

[@Baggersandbs]

It came with the tinted shield

[@johnpiccirillo7311]

@@Baggersandbs I thought you also said you got a sled tinted one

[@Traineddummy]

Who the fu*k films on vertical mode.......

[@Scumbag_Scott]

Do you have any preference on comm systems? Sena or Cardo

[@Baggersandbs]

Ima cardo guy

[@Scumbag_Scott]

Just received my helmet last night. Going to suck trying mount the comms system to it.
