   LS2 MX701 Explorer Carbon Frontier (Titanium/Red) Helmet The 1,450 gram (+/- 50 g) or 3.2 lb (+/- 0.11 lb) LS2 MX701 Explorer Carbon Frontier (Titanium/Red) helmet replaces my 6 year old 1,650 gram or 3.6 lb Nexx X.Wed2 helmet (1.9 kg or 4.2 lb with SMARTH Cardo Communicator as per my cheap luggage scale). Canadian distributor Kimpex only offers 3 Explorer Carbon models as of this date: Solid (all Carbon) $599.99 msrp, Focus (carbon/high vis Yellow) $649.99 msrp & Frontier (Titanium/Red) $649.99 msrp.  A shout out to Aaron & Modern Motorcycling in Vancouver for every day pricing that is competitive with online retailers & even Black Friday pricing....my all in cost was under $500, which is tremendous value for a light weight carbon helmet of this quality & features. Features 1,450 gram (+/- 50g) intermediate oval shape (Champion Helmet's scale recorded 1,494 g or 3.29 lb for a medium & my cheap luggage scale shows 1.5 kg or 3.31 lb ) 3 shell sizes: XS (53-54
