A company that can look back on more than 30 years of experience in the field of motorcycle helmets also incorporates this concentrated know-how into an enduro helmet. This is exactly what the new MX701 EXPLORER enduro helmet from LS2 proves impressively. Not the only distinctive feature with which this innovative MX helmet stands out. We show what touring riders can look forward to.
The new EXPLORER - light and airy on the move and yet well protected
Anyone who is on a trial or off-road with the Enduro knows the problem. The enduro helmet should not be too bulky, it should be light, "airy" and yet stable and safe.
In order to master this challenge, the designers rely on a material that has also proven itself in space travel - carbon fiber. The enduro helmet weighs just 1,380 g and is available in three shell sizes to adapt to the morphology of the biker. These cover the head size range from XS to 2XL. The appearance of the EXPLORER alone earns respect from the rest of the driver field. The distinctive chin part with the ventilation slots and "shock absorbers" makes the EXPLORER look extremely futuristic.
LS2 MX701 EXPLORER - TOP ventilation!
The ventilation system is complemented by the top vents, exhaust ports and the fine channels in the EPS inner universe of the helmet. So there is definitely no “thick air” in the EXPLORER, which is also due to the hypoallergenic, breathable, removable and washable inner lining.
The fact that the enduro helmet fits so well is also due to the process of the 3D laser-cut foam. Thanks to the "Chin Curtain", dust is kept out. Plus for the best view, the EXPLORER is equipped with a double visor system that is scratch-proof, UV-resistant and pinlock-ready (including a quick release system). A short grip on the left of the underside of the helmet and the sun visor moves into the desired position. The EXPLORER us of the Off Road line is equipped with a reinforced chinstrap, double D-ring fastener, metal safety plate and an emergency release system. It remains to be mentioned that the “power of colors”, depending on the frontier design, comes into its own with this special enduro helmet.
LS2 MX701 EXPLORER CONCLUSION
From the shield to the visor to the chin part, the EXPLORER looks like it is made of one piece - which the enduro biker simply has to have.
