LS2 has announced the acquisition of a new production facility located approximately one hour from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to meet sustained growth in global demand for its products. The 30,000m² site is already fully operational and represents an investment of approximately €8m. It incorporates state-of-the-art machinery for shell production, improved graphic application processes, and optimised logistics systems. The upgrades will enable LS2 to reach a production capacity of up to 80,000 helmets per month without disrupting existing supply, with the Vietnamese facility running alongside LS2’s established manufacturing operations in China.
Founded in 1990 by Arthur Liao in Heshan, China, MHR initially manufactured helmets for other brands before launching LS2 as its own consumer label in 2007, a brand that now marks 36 years of manufacturing heritage. The firm’s European headquarters are based in Terrassa, just outside Barcelona, supporting more than 7500 dealers across Europe. LS2’s products are sold in more than 130 countries worldwide, with 27 models and more than 175 unique designs available in the UK.
LS2 has launched three new helmets for 2026, along with more than 60 new graphics. The Challenger II is a high-performance touring helmet with a 1500g High Performance Fibre Composite shell, Pinlock 120XLT MaxVision insert, and compatibility with LS2 Spectrum intercoms. SRPs are from £239.99. The Storm III is a touring-urban helmet with a lightweight Kinetic Polymer Alloy shell, a drop-down sun visor, an emergency release system and Spectrum-ready compatibility. SRPs are from £139.99. The Rapid III adds a new rear aero spoiler for improved stability, with ECE 22.06 certification and compatibility with Pinlock 70 MaxVision. SRPs are from £59.99.
Also new for 2026, the £329.99 SRP X-Master adventure jacket features triple-layer construction, a 15k Sheltex Plus waterproof layer and CE level 2 armour for an AA protection rating. Matching trousers are available for £239.99 SRP.
A new luggage range, the Move Ahead collection, rounds out the 2026 launch. Built from 500D tarpaulin with welded seams and full waterproofing, it comprises the 20-litre-per-side panniers (SRP £149.99), the versatile 10-litre tail bag, which can double as a backpack or tank bag (SRP £69.99), and the compact 3-litre roll bag (SRP £19.99).
