LS2 Assault Full Face Motorcycle Helmet

Did tons of research looking for my first full-face helmet and ended up going with this LS2 Assault. Best combination of safety, price, style, and features out there. Includes all of my must-have’s such as active chin and top vents (in other words, vents that you can open & close unlike a lot of the Simpson’s,) retractable sun shade to eliminate the need for glasses when combined with the included clear visor, a pinlock ready visor, light weight, quick detach chin strap, and DOT & ECE approved. In addition to all that, it actually includes the pinlock shield! Plus, it has a unique KPA shell that is comprised of polymer mixed with aramid fibers which makes it both lightweight, flexible, and strong with penetration resistance too.

Looks-wise to me it has that streetfighter style with the large flat chin and the aggressive brow vent lines similar in looks to the Simpson Outlaw & Speed Bandits. Lots of shell paint options including some wild graphics. I chose the Petra matte black/gray/graphite pattern, which just looks badazz and is different than all the plain matte blacks you see out there. This thing just oozes quality.

My head is just over 60cm, which puts me just a hair over the Large size on the size chart. I’m glad I went with the XL because this thing fits my head perfectly. Yes, the cheekpads are very tight, but will loosen up after wearing it on a few rides. I am told that you definitely want to start out with tight cheek pads because they will conform to your face for a proper fit.

So honestly I do not see what more you will get on a helmet costing hundreds more (Shoei, Arai, Schuberth, etc.,) because this LS2 has it all. And yes, it has the wrap around neck curtain and the flexible chin curtain, so it is about as quiet as a helmet can be with that nice seal. Lots of full-face helmet users complain about noise levels, which is just funny to me. You don’t know noise unless you come from my world of no-helmet or half-helmet usage. I have found this LS2 to be a lot quieter. Anyway, good luck with your decision…

Casco con ajuste de visera casi nulo, no es para nada estanco y las gomas de ajuste de que dispone son casi decorativas. En ciudad mas o menos funciona pero en autovia o autopista a mas de 80kmh provoca molestias en los ojos con tal entrada de aire. Tambien se ha empezado a degradar el respiradero, en mi caso casi se ha desprendido solo parte del cubrimiento plástico.
Muy poco recomendable y con opciones de mercado mucho mejores por este precio.

This is my second LS2 helmet, the first one lasted 2 years and I got this one just to be safe as my motorcycle instructor explained that the padding in helmets that saves your brain in a collision is like styrofoam and breaks down over time/gets micro-fractures each time the helmet is dropped.
What I love is the styling, built-in sunshade (not antifog, so treat it with some antifog lens cleaner), really great visor – keep it clean and the view is fantastic. Also, the option to open or close the face/top vent is really helpful. It also comes with an antifog Pinlock film custom fit for the visor (saving you $40).

Complaints specific to this model: The view if I’m in a super aggressive riding stance during high wind, his speed, or rain is more for upright stance, so when I lean down it is necessary to crane my neck up just a little more than I would like to. This is fine as my bike is an adventure touring bike and I seldom ride that way, but I wish there was an inch more upward view. Could be the fit on my head too, not sure. It’s also not the quietest helmet, but riding motorcycles rarely is a quiet activity.

In summary, I love LS2 helmets and am very impressed with this model. The sunshade and vent levers are easy to access and if needed, I can pop the visor open a crack for really cold rainy days when even Pinlock can’t keep the fog off the visor. I feel that it is very well designed and trust it for protecting my head. The visor comes off easily for cleaning and ventilation is good enough to usually keep from fogging, but also not so much that it gets too cold or hot inside.

I recently purchased the LS2 Assault Full Face Motorcycle Helmet, and I am thoroughly impressed! The helmet’s Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA) shell feels incredibly lightweight yet durable, providing a strong sense of security while riding. The design is sleek and modern, especially in the brushed alloy finish, which looks even better in person.

The comfort level is outstanding. The interior liner is soft, wicks moisture, and is fully removable and washable, making it easy to keep the helmet fresh after long rides. The adjustable vents on the chin bar and top offer fantastic ventilation, keeping the airflow dynamic and ensuring no hot spots during the ride.

The helmet also comes with a Pinlock-ready shield, which is a huge bonus. The wide eye port gives a great field of view, and the inner drop-down sun shield is a game-changer, especially when transitioning between different lighting

Only negative is the shield fogs up easily but it comes with the pin lock shield so that solves the problem.

I ultimately returned this helmet not because it was bad but because I hadn’t owned a helmet before and wasn’t sure what I was looking for.

I didn’t exactly like the chin vent. It’s not bad and is functional but thought it wouldn’t seal well enough for riding in rain. Nobody wants to ride in rain though anyway.

It fit comfortably and was true to sizing the optical clarity of the screen was incredible. It was like there wasn’t anything there at all.

I wasn’t a big fan of the internal shade lense and I tried several helmets with those. They’re just not for me.

Overall I think it’s a fine helmet and a good price.
