Is the LS2 X-Force Carbon worth $375?

For a carbon off-road helmet with ECE 22.06 and AREM, $375 is competitive against other carbon motocross lids. If you ride dirt or eMoto often and want low weight, it earns the price.

What is the difference between AREM and MIPS?

Both aim to reduce rotational forces in a crash. AREM is LS2's own system built into the liner; MIPS uses a separate low-friction layer. The X-Force uses AREM, not MIPS.

Yes. The wide eye port is sized for motocross goggles, and the peak adjusts and retracts for different light and roost conditions.

What sizes does it come in?

XS through 3XL. Measure your head and check LS2's size chart, since off-road shells often fit differently from street helmets.

Can I use it on the street?

It is DOT certified, so it is legal for road use in the US. It has no face shield or sun visor, so you need goggles, and the peak catches wind at highway speed.

The best new price seen is $375.00 at Cycle City Outdoors as of November 4, 2026. Off-road helmets tend to drop during end-of-season and new-model clearance.
