Product Information
Full details
The LS2 FF908 Strobe II Flip-Up Helmet is designed for adult, unisex riders, particularly commuters and touring enthusiasts, offering a versatile and safe riding experience. Its key benefit lies in its modular design with a 90º rotating chin bar and dual P/J homologation, allowing it to be worn as both a full-face and open-face helmet, while meeting the latest ECE 22.06 safety standard. A potential caveat for some riders might be its long-oval shape, which requires a proper fit assessment for optimal comfort. This helmet features a KPA shell for extreme safety, a Pinlock-ready anti-scratch visor, and an integrated drop-down sun visor, ensuring visibility and protection in various conditions.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What safety standards does the LS2 FF908 Strobe II meet?
The helmet meets the ECE 22.06 safety standard and is dual P/J homologated, meaning it is certified for both full-face and open-face configurations.
Is the Pinlock insert included with the helmet?
No, the helmet's main visor is prepared for the Pinlock Max Vision anti-fog insert, but the insert itself is typically sold separately.
Can I wear this helmet with glasses?
Yes, the helmet is designed with channels in the comfort padding to accommodate eyeglasses, allowing for a more comfortable fit for riders who wear prescription glasses.
How do I clean the interior of the helmet?
The comfort liner is removable and can be hand washed with mild soap and cold water. It should be rinsed thoroughly and allowed to air dry completely before being reinserted into the helmet.
What is KPA and why is it used?
KPA stands for Kinetic Polymer Alloy. It's a proprietary blend used by LS2 that offers excellent impact resistance and energy dispersion, similar to high-end composites, but at a more accessible weight and cost. It contributes to the helmet's overall safety and light feel.
Can I install a Bluetooth communication system on this helmet?
Yes, the helmet is specifically prepared for the LS2 INTERCOM system, which is a Bluetooth system developed by Cardo. You will need to purchase the intercom unit separately and follow its installation instructions.
What is the difference between P and J homologation?
P homologation certifies the helmet as a full-face helmet, offering chin bar protection. J homologation certifies it as an open-face helmet. The FF908 Strobe II having both means it is legally approved for use in either configuration.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or has pressure points.
Ensure you have the correct size. The comfort liner is laser-cut foam and designed for a snug fit. If pressure persists, consider if aftermarket comfort padding or liner options might be suitable, but a proper initial fit is crucial.
Main visor fogs up easily.
The visor is prepared for a Pinlock Max Vision insert. Installing a Pinlock insert is the most effective solution for preventing fogging. Ensure the Pinlock is correctly seated against the visor.
Chin bar does not lock securely.
Ensure the chin bar is fully raised and aligned correctly before attempting to lock it. Check for any obstructions. If the issue persists, inspect the locking mechanism for damage or debris.
Sun visor is difficult to operate.
Operate the sun visor smoothly. If it feels stiff, check for any debris or obstructions in its track. Avoid forcing the mechanism.
Ventilation seems inadequate.
Ensure all ventilation ports (chin, top, rear exhaust) are open and not blocked by dirt or debris. The effectiveness of ventilation can also be influenced by ambient temperature and rider's activity level.
