If you’re in the market for a new flip-front lid – check out LS2’s Vortex. It’s comes with a carbon fibre shell, Bluetooth connectivity and dual-homologation, meaning you can wear it open and closed. And best of all, it looks pretty stylish too.

Made from 100% high-grade carbon fibre – the same material used in Formula 1 and MotoGP – the Vortex weighs just 1300grams – which is significantly less than most other flip-front helmets on the market. LS2 say its low weight helps to keep the wearer’s head stable at speed and reduces pressure on the neck and fatigue on longer stretches – which sounds like it’d be a real bonus if you were doing some big miles.
