Product Information
Full details
This LS2 FF908 Strobe 2 Flip-Up Helmet in Yellow is designed for adult male commuters and touring riders seeking versatility and safety. Its key benefit is the 90º rotating chin bar for easy transition between full-face and open-face configurations, homologated to ECE 22.06 & P/J standards. A potential caveat for some users might be its weight of 1.550 gr. ± 50 gr. in size M, which is standard for its category. This helmet features a KPA shell, anti-scratch and UV-resistant visor, Pinlock readiness, a drop-down sun visor, and effective ventilation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is KPA and why is it used in this helmet?
KPA stands for Kinetic Polymer Alloy. It's a proprietary blend of materials developed by LS2, combining polycarbonate, space-age thermoplastics, and other elements. It offers excellent impact resistance, flexibility, and is relatively lightweight, making it a high-performance and safe material for helmet shells.
Is the Pinlock insert included with the helmet?
No, the Pinlock® 70 MaxVision™ anti-fog insert is not included with the helmet. The visor is prepared for it, and the insert can be purchased separately.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The comfort lining and cheek pads are removable. You can hand wash them with mild soap and cool water. Ensure they are completely air-dried before placing them back into the helmet.
What does P/J homologation mean?
P/J homologation signifies that the helmet has been tested and approved as both a full-face helmet (P-homologation) and an open-face helmet (J-homologation), meaning it meets safety standards in both configurations.
What is the weight of the LS2 FF908 Strobe 2 helmet?
The approximate weight is 1.550 gr. ± 50 gr. in size M.
Can I install a Bluetooth communication system in this helmet?
Yes, the helmet is designed to be ready for the LS2 INTERCOM system, featuring an elastic-strap top liner to accommodate it.
How do I adjust the sun visor?
The sun visor is operated by a slider mechanism, typically located on the side of the helmet. Move the slider to deploy or retract the sun visor.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose
The helmet comes in multiple shell sizes. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if a different shell size or aftermarket padding might be necessary. Ensure the retention system is correctly adjusted.
Main visor fogs up excessively
Ensure the helmet is equipped with a Pinlock® 70 MaxVision™ insert and that it is correctly installed. The ventilation system should also be open to allow airflow.
Sun visor is difficult to operate
Check for any obstruction or debris around the sun visor mechanism. Ensure the lever is clean and functioning smoothly. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact support.
Chin bar does not lock securely
Inspect the locking mechanism on both sides of the chin bar for any damage or debris. Ensure the chin bar is fully rotated to the 'locked' position until it clicks.
Interior padding is uncomfortable or causes irritation
The interior lining and cheek pads are removable and washable. Wash them according to the care instructions. If irritation persists, consider if the material is unsuitable for your skin or if alternative padding is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:

- LS2 Intercom System: The helmet is designed with space and an elastic strap for the optional LS2 INTERCOM system.
Care Instructions:

- Outer Shell: Clean the KPA shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Visors: Clean visors with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Avoid scratching the surface. The anti-scratch and UV-resistant coatings should be protected.
