Anyone have info on this company and helmet? Level of build quality and safety? Looks almost like a mnt bike helmet. Also, I tried on a 6D ATR-2 and if fit very well and was extremely light.

Bell, Shoei, and 6D (not to mention Fox and others) are all sponsors here...
my thoughts as well.
The Shop
I bought them for several reasons... (this comes from someone who has only ever bought the best for my son and my noggins.)
1 The safety advancement is better than any other company out there. I’ve done my homework on anular space, pendulum effect, rotational forces, etc... and this helmet exceeds all other brands in total protection.
2. There are only a few manufacturers of all helmets in the world. So most of your high end and entry level helmets of various brands are all made out of these same facilities. LS2 not only builds a great helmet... they are one of the only ones that builds their own as they own one of the few manufacturing facilities. They know what theyre doing and can do it for a lot less cost.
3. Best ventilation period. We’ve used all the top brands and none of them compare. The vents are easy to clean as well... this is not an issue at all.
Additionally, my son already crash tested it on a gnarly high side where he attempted to mimic an ostrich. No concussion or even any signs of a simple headache. Solid product!
The old Bell Moto 4 was the perfect fit for me back then, but the Moto 5 was a completely different shape and absolutely unwearable for me. Now, even when the head shape of a helmet is close I have trouble with the chinbar being too close. The reviews I’ve seen online seem to sound like this LS2 would be close to an ideal fit. I really wish that Bell would re-release the Mag4 with the original shell because all the old ones have probably degraded to the point of offering no true protection. Slap a Troy Lee visor from eBay on one of those and I’d be a happy man!
I may need to search for a dealer who has a few in stock I guess.
And I really like the look of them-I get that that is all personal opinion though.
Previosly, I’ve always worn high-buck helmets, and my new Arrow Carbon is high quality, cushy, and quiet.
Pit Row
Nice looking lids though.
