LS2 is celebrating its first Best Buy ‘triangle’ from RiDE following the consumer magazine’s test of sub-£200 helmets. The new Vector II beat off stiff competition from other major players to take the laurels, with RiDE declaring it a “clear winner”.
Testers were impressed not only with the quality and specification of the helmet but also the array of accessories supplied as standard, including Pinlock Max Vision and an inflatable ring cushion to support the product when changing or cleaning visors. In addition, it was the quietest helmet on test.
“It’s 15 years since LS2 launched in the UK and this is a fantastic way to mark the occasion,” said a delighted UK sales director Paul Haskins. “In the previous RiDE test, back in summer 2020, the LS2 Storm helmet achieved the RiDE Recommended award, so this year’s “Best Buy” proves that as a brand, we’re always ahead!”
The Vector II is one of several new 22.06 standard models to be launched by LS2 this year, including the Advant 180-degree flip-front and the multi-functional Drifter open-face.
It’s not only LS2’s helmets that are performing well in RiDE – their Swift gloves were also the magazine’s “Choice for comfort” in the 2020 guide to sporty summer gloves.
