Product Information
Full details
The LS2 FF908 Strobe 2 Code Helmet is a modular helmet designed for adult male commuters and touring riders seeking comfort and safety. Its key benefit is the versatile 90º rotating chin bar, meeting ECE 22.06 & P/J homologation for full-face and open-face use. A potential caveat for some users might be its weight at 1.550 gr. ± 50 gr. in size M. This helmet features a KPA shell, anti-scratch visor with Pinlock readiness, a drop-down sun visor, and comprehensive ventilation, all contributing to a secure and pleasant riding experience.

FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for motorcycle racing?
The LS2 FF908 Strobe 2 Code Helmet is homologated to ECE 22.06 & P/J standards, making it legal for road use. For professional racing, specific track-day or racing homologations (like FIM or Snell) may be required, which this helmet does not possess.
What is KPA shell material?
KPA stands for Kinetic Polymer Alloy. It's a proprietary blend developed by LS2 that offers an excellent balance of strength, flexibility, and lightness, designed to distribute impact energy effectively.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The interior lining, cheek pads, and neck roll are removable. Hand wash them gently with mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely before reassembling the helmet. Do not use a washing machine or dryer.
Can I replace the main visor?
Yes, the main visor is designed for quick release and replacement. You can purchase a new visor separately if yours becomes scratched or damaged.
Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?
The helmet is Pinlock® ready, meaning it has the necessary pins and studs on the visor. However, the Pinlock® 70 MaxVision™ insert itself is usually sold separately and needs to be purchased in addition to the helmet.
What is the weight of the helmet?
The helmet weighs approximately 1.550 grams, with a tolerance of ± 50 grams in size Medium.
How does the Twin Visor System work?
The Twin Visor System is an integrated sun visor that can be lowered or raised using a slider mechanism, typically located on the side or top of the helmet. It provides convenient sun protection without needing to swap visors.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Check the size guide and ensure you selected the correct size. For minor adjustments, consider thicker or thinner aftermarket cheek pads if available. The lining is designed to offer a snug fit.
Main visor fogs up excessively.
Ensure the visor is clean. For persistent fogging, install a Pinlock® 70 MaxVision™ insert, which is designed to prevent condensation. Ensure the breath deflector is correctly positioned.
Sun visor is difficult to deploy or retract.
Check for any obstructions around the sun visor mechanism. Ensure the mechanism itself is clean and lubricated according to manufacturer recommendations (if applicable). Avoid forcing the mechanism.
Chin bar does not lock securely.
Ensure the chin bar is fully rotated upwards until it audibly clicks into place. Inspect the locking mechanism for any damage or debris that might prevent proper engagement. If damaged, contact customer support.
Ventilation vents are stuck or difficult to operate.
Gently try to move the vents. Ensure there is no debris lodged in the mechanism. Avoid using excessive force, which could break the plastic components. Clean the area around the vents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
- Exterior: Clean the KPA shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Visor: Clean the visor regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive materials that could scratch the surface or UV coating.
- Interior Lining: The inner lining, cheek pads, and neck roll are removable. Hand wash them with mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Ventilation Ports: Keep ventilation ports clear of debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean them.
