Is the LS2 Advant X Carbon worth it over a standard modular helmet?

If you ride at highway speed and want the chin bar out of the wind, the 180-degree flip and carbon shell are the main reasons to pay more. At $338.02 at Champion Helmets as of November 4, 2026, it undercuts most carbon modulars.

Can I ride with the chin bar flipped all the way back?

Yes. The helmet is ECE P/J rated, so it is certified for both full-face and open-face use. The chin bar rests behind the head rather than above the visor.

Does it come with a Pinlock and a second visor?

Yes. The box includes a Pinlock 120 Max Vision insert, a dark smoke visor, reflective stickers and a carrying bag.

Does it have a built-in communicator?

No. It is built to fit the LS2 LS24X Cardo system, which pairs with up to 4 riders and supports voice commands, phone, music and GPS. The unit is sold separately.

Will size XL fit a 61-62 cm head?

Yes, XL is listed for 61-62 cm. Note that XL falls in the larger of the two shell sizes (XS-L and XL-3XL), so it will feel bigger than a size L.

When is the price lowest?

About the Advant X Carbon Solid Modular Motorcycle Helmet

The LS2 Advant X Carbon fiber 180-degree, flip-front takes the modular motorcycle helmet to the stratosphere. The Carbon Fiber shell, including a CARBON CHIN BAR, bring a new level of safety and performance to modular helmets. The Advant X Carbon Fiber meets or exceeds the ECE 22.06 rotational energy management criteria using LS2’s proprietary Advanced Rotational Energy Management (AREM) technology. ECE homologated as both an open face and full-face (ECE P/J rated), this helmet offers amazing flexibility and is certified to be used as a full-face or open face helmet. The LS2 proprietary deceptively simple design of the 180-degree flip front, carbon fiber, chin bar allows it to operate on a single axis pivot; a true engineering marvel. This allows the chin bar to rotate all the way back, and rest behind the head to avoid catching the wind at highway speeds and offers a much superior balance compared to traditional modulars. Washable, removable liner includes 3D laser cut foam cheek pads with our top of the line foam for superior comfort with no hotspots. PINLOCK fog control lens INCLUDED. Meets or exceeds ECE 22.06 and DOT standards.
