🏍️ LS2 Valiant II Modular Helmet Review

I really like this helmet. I've had a one-piece full face helmet for over 30 years, but I've always wanted a modular helmet. When I read that this also has a built in sun visor I decided to give it a try. I measured my head and got 59.75cm so I bought 59-60 (large). It was too tight so I reset it to 61-62 (x-large) cm. It fits better around the head and temples but is still a bit tight on the cheeks but not uncomfortable. These helmets are for an oval head (I think) but mine is closer to a…

I like everything about this cap except that it is VERY loud on my BMW R1200GS unless I hide it behind a screen. I'm probably dealing with turbulence, hence YMMV.

It's also pretty heavy, but that's due to modular territory. Coming from a pair of Schuberth helmets, the noise trade-off of being able to use it as a 3/4 helmet without looking (too much) like a…

I bought this hoping to replace my aging Nolan N-44 helmet. The Nolan is 2x bigger and the chin bar barely fits. I hope to be able to ride more in the coming cold, so that's important for me.

I was a bit hesitant to spend that much money on a helmet because there are cheaper options. However, I was looking for something truly convertible because I like to drive both open face and full face depending on the condition or situation. Most modular helmets just flip up, which is pretty ugly and creates a weird airflow around the head when it's upside down. I was intrigued by the design of this helmet and when I received it I was not disappointed. The chin bar actually rotates 180 degrees,
