FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 100% carbon fiber shell?
The 100% carbon fiber shell offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, resulting in a helmet that is both exceptionally protective and lightweight for improved aerodynamics and reduced fatigue.
Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?
No, the helmet is prepared for the Pinlock Max Vision anti-fog system, but the insert itself is sold separately.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The interior lining is removable. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry completely before putting it back in the helmet.
What is the Emergency Release System?
This system allows medical personnel to easily and safely remove the helmet's cheek pads in an emergency situation, facilitating quicker and safer extrication of the rider.
Is this helmet suitable for everyday commuting?
While designed for racing, its advanced features like ventilation and peripheral vision can benefit any rider. However, its racing-focused fit might be snug for some commuters, and its aggressive styling is a matter of personal preference.
How do I ensure I have the correct size helmet?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and compare it to the LS2 sizing chart. The helmet should fit snugly without excessive pressure points.
What does 'Aldeguer Replica' refer to?
This indicates that the helmet features a graphic design inspired by or replicating the racing helmet of rider Fermín Aldeguer.
Troubleshooting
Visor fogs up excessively.
Ensure the Pinlock Max Vision insert is properly installed and sealed against the visor. Check that the ventilation vents are open.
Helmet feels too tight or uncomfortable.
New carbon fiber helmets can have a break-in period. Wear the helmet for progressively longer periods. If discomfort persists after a reasonable break-in, consider if the size is correct or if aftermarket comfort padding is needed.
Chin strap is difficult to secure or adjust.
Ensure the Double D-rings are properly aligned. Pull the loose end firmly to tighten. Consult the helmet manual for precise D-ring usage if unsure.
Ventilation seems insufficient.
Verify that all vent openings (chin, front, top) are fully open. Check that the internal channels are not blocked by debris. Ensure the exhaust spoiler is clear.
