/ MHR JIANGMEN PENGCHENG HELMETS LTD. CHINA CHRONOLOGY

1990/ Mr. Arthur Liao invested about 350 Euros and started his fledgling helmet business in a tiny house of less than 600 square feet. At that time he could only afford to hire one employee, Mr. Peng Zheng. Twenty years later, Peng is still working for the company. Together they started to manufacture their first helmets from this small rural workshop.

1992/ Demand for the helmets increased fast. To capitalize on this Arthur needed to expand the business. He leased a 4000 sq. ft factory, and recruited another 100 personnel to the team. Meanwhile, Mr. Stephan Liao (Arthur’s brother) joined the management and strived to develop and prepare for future business.

2000/ MHR was proud to gain ISO9000 accreditation. MHR now owned and controlled, in house, all new conceptions and technologies for helmet production. Including plastic injection, composite treatment, painting, testing and so on. The whole systematized management from raw material to a finished helmet under one roof.

1994/ Our trademark “FENGXING” had played a

2005/ As the business continued to grow, Arthur and Paul made a multimillion dollar investment to establish JIANGMEN PENGCHENG HELMETS,

very important role in the domestic market and our helmets had been a huge success all over the country. That year, we finally moved into our own 18000 sq ft purpose built factory.

LTD. (JPH), (pictured on this page) JPH wholly owns a 330,000 sq. ft State of the art factory with over 1,000 employees, producing more than 2 million helmets a year.

1997/ As the first pioneer in helmet industry in China, Arthur had already turned his vision to the global market and changed his helmet trademark to “MHR”. To be taken seriously in the global market required serious and ambitious investment to modernize the factory, it’s machinery and technology. This investment paid off with international praise and recognition for MHR’s products.

2007/ A landmark year. We realized that sooner or later our enterprise would inevitably perish if we continued to manufacture only OEM and ODM products in the future; therefore we decided to create and sell our own brand to the world. But, how and where to start? Using the abbreviation of LIAO’S SYSTEM as the brand, LS2 was conceived, born and registered worldwide. Meanwhile the head office of LS2 was established in Barcelona, Spain.

LS2 helmets also exhibited for the first time at the EICMA show in Milan, Italy. From that day, LS2 helmets demonstrated its courage, passion and determination to step into the global market!

1999/ As the business continued to grow rapidly Arthur realized that he could not continue to expand the factory alone. He requested his other brother, Mr. Paul Liao, join to manage MHR’s

further expansion, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge gained in his own successful business. Paul joined MHR on June 28, a very momentous occasion which meant MHR would truly become a family firm and also laid the foundation for today’s achievements at MHR.

2009/ Despite the deepening global financial crisis LS2 helmets enjoyed a phenomenal growth of 100% during 2009. With resolute determination Arthur and Paul made the decision to purchase a new purpose built 80,000 sq. ft. Warehouse and offices in Terrassa, Spain. Funds for this ambitious next step in LS2 helmets history were wired directly from China. The new facility handles all distribution logistics, design, marketing and communication for the LS2 brand. It’s international, multilingual staff communicate daily with factory personnel in China.

2010/ Sees LS2 Helmets continued development and expansion with the acquisition of a 30,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Chicago, Illinois, USA. and set up of a new team to take LS2 helmets to the American and Canadian consumers.

As a manufacturer, during the past three years we have not hesitated to pay any price for the research and development of LS2 Helmets. Our international team of designers, engineers and technicians have brought an unrivaled wealth of knowledge and passion to our motorcycle helmets. Innovation and quality have made every new helmet better than the old, this year better than last. LS2 Helmets will continue diligently and invest further to develop ever more perfect helmets for the global consumers! What we have achieved so far has already been accepted and approved by all our global agents. LS2 represents many things: passion, courage, spirit, determination, quality, success. And also the two people who are the driving force behind the name LS2, the two Liao brothers, Arthur and Paul.

IN HOUSE KNOWLEDGE

PRECISION ASSEMBLY

Once a shell has been removed from its mold it is checked to make sure it meets our exacting standards by our technical experts. Several layers of paint later and the graphics are applied, once in place the helmet is lacquered with anti UV and the process gives a unique touch to each helmet.

The final assembly of a helmet is then undertaken by a technician who follows a strict process for fitting of the EPS liner, retention strap and visor mechanism. And finally the comfort liner and user instructions. Each helmet then has a final quality check before being boxed ready for dispatch.

MARCA DE LA CASA

ENSAMBLAJE DE PRECISIÓN

Una vez las calotas son extraídas de su molde, son ajustadas una a una en manos de expertos que se encargan de darle el aspecto definitivo antes del montaje final. Varias capas de pintura, aplicación de la decoración y las pegatinas, la última capa de barnizado de protección anti UV son por tanto operaciones que darán un toque único a cada casco.

El montaje final del casco es llevado a cabo por un técnico que ha tenido una formación específica y conoce todas las particularidades del casco sobre el que trabaja. Montaje del amortizador interno, el refuerzo de la pantalla y su mecanismo, las ventilaciones y la correa de retención.

SAVOIR FAIRE MAISON Une fois les calottes extraites de leurs moule et ajustées une à une des mains expertes vont se charger de leur donner l’aspect définitif avant le montage final. Plusieurs couches de peintures, l’application du décor et des stickers, l’ultime couche de verni de protection anti UV sont autant d’opérations qui donneront une touche unique à chaque casque.

IL KNOW-HOW AZIENDALE Le calotte, una volta estratte dal loro stampo, vengono preparate una ad una per il montaggio finale. Diversi passaggi di verniciatura, l’applicazione dei loghi e delle grafiche, fino alla verniciatura anti UV caratterizzano il ciclo produttivo che darà ad ogni casco un tocco unico.

ASSEMBLAGE DE PRÉCISION Le montage final du casque est effectué par un technicien qui a suiviune formation spécifique et connait toutes les particularités du casque sur lequel il intervient. Montage de l’amortisseur interne, la garniture l’écran et son mécanismes, les ventilations et la sangle de rétention.

PERMANENT QUALITY CONTROL

CONTROLE PERMANENT DE LA QUALITÉ

A certain number of our helmets are never sold as we batch test every model in our test laboratory. Each helmet is looked at in minute detail to ensure that quality and safety are paramount. We also verify that each model meets or exceeds the test standard required by its country of destination. This may be ECE, DOT ,BSI or indeed Snell. Numerous tests are undertaken on the EPS and the external shell for shock absorbtion. We also test the fit as many testing houses now take this into account. For example SHARP TESTING in the UK.

Des dizaines de casques ne seront cependant jamais vendus pour entrer directement dans le laboratoire de controle où ils passent une série de tests impitoyables et sont examinés dans les moindres détails. nous vérifions que chaque casque LS2 est conforme à toutes les principales normes de sécurité dans l’ensemble des pays, ECE, DOT, BSI et SNELL mais doit aussi par exemple dépasser en termes d’absorbtion des chocs les valeurs fixées par la réglementation. La coque externe de nos casques forme avec l’amortisseur interne EPS un ensemble apte à affronter toute situation rencontrée sur la route.

CONTROL PERMANENTE DE LA CALIDAD Sin embargo, decenas de cascos no se venderán por entrar directamente en el laboratorio de control, donde pasan una serie de duras pruebas y se examina hasta el más mínimo detalle. Verificamos que cada caso LS2 cumpla las principales normas de seguridad en el conjunto de países, ECE, DOT, BSI y SNELL pero también debe sobrepasar, en términos de absorción de los choques, los valores fijados por la reglamentación. La calota externa de nuestros cascos forma junto al amortiguador interno EPS un conjunto apto para afrontar cualquier situación que se pueda dar en la carretera.

38

CONTROLLO COSTANTE DELLA QUALITÁ Decine di caschi, selezionati dai vari lotti di produzione, saranno destinati direttamente al laboratorio di controllo interno, dove saranno sottoposti ad una serie di severissimi tests. Noi verifichiamo che ogni LS2 sia conforme a tutte le principali norme di sicurezza vigenti nei differenti paesi, come la Ece, Dot, BSI e Snell. La calotta esterna dei nostri caschi combinata con l’azione di assorbimento della calotta interna in EPS, é in grado di affrontare tutti i rischi che si possono incontrare in strada.

OPTIMAL VISION

VISION OPTIMALE

LS2 are aware of the need for optimal vision for all riding conditions. Therefore most of our helmets are available with an integral sun visor. This coupled with the optically correct external visor ensures 100% vision in all light conditions.

La capacité d’anticiper les imprévus de la route est un facteur de sécurité pour tous les motocyclistes. Ainsi nos casques sont équipés d’un système de double écran dont un écran solaire intégré dans la coque pour améliorer la vision et la perception des reliefs dans toutes les conditions dev luminosité.

VISIÓN ÓPTIMA AERODYNAMICS

L’AÉRODYNAMIQUE

Here at LS2 the design of our external shells integrates several aerodynamic principals. Stability, ventilation and anti misting, all of which are important in creating a quality functional product with reduced noise levels.

Le dessin de la coque externe de nos casques intégre plusieurs principes aérodynamiques essentiels qui utilisent cette énergie pour améliorer la stabilité du casque, améliorer le système interne de ventilation et diminuer le bruit.

LA AERODINÁMICA

L’AERODINAMICA

El diseño de la calota externa de nuestros cascos integra varios principios aerodinámicos esenciales que utilizan esta energía para mejorar la estabilidad del casco y su sistema interno de ventilación y disminuir el ruido.

Il disegno della calotta esterna dei nostri caschi integra diversi principi aerodinamici essenziali, che utilizzano questa energia per migliorare la stabilità del casco stesso, i flussi d’aria all’interno e ridurre al massimo il rumore.

La capacidad de anticipar los imprevistos de la carretera es un factor de seguridad para todos los motociclistas. De este modo, nuestros cascos están equipados con un sistema de doble visor en el que una pantalla solar está integrada en la calota para mejorar la visión del relieve en todas las condiciones de luminosidad.

VISIBILITA’ OTTIMALE La capacità di anticipare gli imprevisti che si possono incontrare in strada é un fattore di sicurezza riconosciuto da tutti i motociclisti. I nostri caschi sono dotati di una visiera scura supplementare ed integrata nella calotta per migliorare la percezione degli ostacoli in tutte le condizioni di luminosità.

RIDER TESTING

TESTS ROUTIERS

In the end we test all our helmets out on the road in all conditions over thousands of kilometres.

Et lorsqu’enfin un nouveau modèle atteint le stade de présérie il est testé en conditions réelles par les essayeurs maison sur des milliers de kilomètres.

PRUEBAS EN CARRETERA Cuando un nuevo modelo alcanza la fase de preproducción es testado en condiciones reales por nuestros probadores sobre millones de kilómetros.

AIR-GO SYSTEM Technology

«CUSTOMIZED HELMET»

UN CASQUE «SUR MESURE»

Every rider knows how comfort and safety depends on how well the helmet fits on his head. The perfect solution did not seem to exist until our engineers developed the AIR FLATE SYSTEM, a technology that makes your helmet unique and fits anatomically perfect. Consisting of a pump connected to two air bags, built in the side panels, AIR FLATE can adjust the comfort of the helmet according to needs, more or less «tight» depending on whether you cross the city or ride on highway with a simple thumb pressure on the pump.

This technology can also adjust the tightness of the helmet and check the level

Chaque motocycliste sait combien le confort et la sécurité dépend du bon ajustage du casque sur la tête. La solution parfaite ne semblait pas exister jusqu’à ce que nos ingénieurs développent l’AIR FLATE SYSTEM, une technologie qui fait que votre casque est unique et s’adapte parfaitement à votre anatomie ou à vos besoins. Composé d’une pompe reliée à deux coussins d’air, intégré dans les joues latérales, l’AIR FLATE permet d’ajuster le confort interne du casque en fonction des nécessités, plus ou moins »serré» selon que l’on roule en ville ou sur autoroute d’une simple pression du pouce

of wind noise inside the helmet, which is important for comfort especially for touring use.

sur la pompe. Cette technologie permet aussi d’ajuster l’étanchéité du casque et de contrôler le niveau des bruits à l’intérieur du casque, facteur important de confort en particulier pour un usage grand tourisme.

Le poids minimum de cet équipement a été étudié pour n’avoir aucun impact sur le confort dynamique du casque.

UN CASCO «A MEDIDA» Cada motociclista sabe cómo el confort y la seguridad dependen de un buen ajuste del casco sobre la cabeza. La solución perfecta parecía no existir hasta que nuestros ingenieros desarrollaron el AIR FLATE SYSTEM, una tecnología que hace que vuestro casco sea único y se adapte perfectamente a vuestra anatomía o a vuestras necesidades. Compuesto de una bomba ligada a dos almohadillas de aire, integrada en las mejillas laterales, el AIR FLATE permite ajustar el confort interno del casco en función de las necesidades, más o menos «apretado» según si circulamos en ciudad o autopista con una sencilla presión del pulgar sobre la bomba. Esta tecnología permite también ajustar la impermeabilidad del casco y controlar el nivel de ruido en el interior del casco, factor importante de confort en especial para uso gran turismo.

UN CASCO «SU MISURA» Ogni motociclista sa bene come il confort e la sicurezza dipendano dalla vestibilità del casco. La vestibilità perfetta sembrava non esistere finché i nostri ingegneri hanno creato il AIR GO SYSTEM, una tecnologia che rende il tuo casco unico, su misura. Il sistema consiste in una pompa collegata a due airbag, posti all’interno dei rivestimenti laterali del casco, AIR GO può regolare il fitting del casco secondo la morfologia del tuo viso, o magari se devi passare da un percorso urbano ad un extraurbano, per una vestibilità più serrata all’aumentare della velocità, semplicemente premendo sulla pompetta posta all’interno del casco, sulla mentoniera.
