A Humble Beginning
The story of LS2 began in 1990 when Arthur Liao started a small helmet manufacturing operation in a home garage with limited resources and one assistant. From this modest start, he set out to create high-quality helmets that riders could trust.
Building the Foundation
As demand grew, Arthur expanded operations by leasing a factory and bringing in his brother Stephan to support production. This move marked the beginning of their journey from a small business to a global force in helmet manufacturing.
A Step Towards the World
In the mid-1990s, the company rebranded under the name MHR to reflect its ambition to serve the international market. With this shift, the groundwork was laid for a larger presence in the world of motorcycling.
Focus on Quality
By 2000, the company achieved ISO 9000 accreditation and began managing all stages of production in-house. From design and development to testing and painting, every aspect was brought under strict control to maintain consistent quality and performance.
The Birth of LS2
In 2007, the LS2 brand was officially introduced at a major international motorcycle show. Headquartered in Barcelona, the new brand name represented their confidence and readiness to take on the global market directly, no longer producing only for other labels.
Rapid Growth and Expansion
Within a few years, LS2 opened new warehouses and distribution points across the United States and Australia. By 2012, it had become one of the leading helmet brands in Europe, thanks to a combination of cutting-edge design, safety innovation and rider-focused features.
A Rider-Centred Approach
What sets LS2 apart is its focus on real rider feedback. From ventilation systems and aerodynamics to internal padding and shell materials, every design is tested and refined based on what riders actually experience out on the road.
The LS2 Legacy
What began as a one-man operation is now a globally recognised brand supporting thousands of riders. With over a thousand employees and millions of helmets produced annually, LS2 stands as a symbol of consistent innovation, quality and safety.
