Product Information

Full details

The LS2 FF908 Strobe 2 is a versatile modular helmet designed for adult commuters and touring riders seeking comfort and safety. Its key benefit is the 90° rotatable chin guard, offering the flexibility of a full-face or open-face helmet. A potential caveat for some riders may be the long-oval head shape, which might not fit all head shapes perfectly. This helmet features a KPA shell for extreme safety, 3D laser-cut comfort padding for an all-day fit, and is certified to the ECE 22.06 safety standard.

FAQs

Is this helmet suitable for winter riding?

The helmet is suitable for all-season riding. The removable and washable liner helps manage moisture, and the ventilation can be adjusted. For very cold conditions, consider adding a balaclava or neck warmer for extra insulation.

What is KPA?

KPA stands for Kinetic Polymer Alloy. It's a proprietary blend used by LS2 for their helmet shells, offering exceptional energy absorption, flexibility, and resistance to impacts while remaining lightweight.

How do I know if the ECE 22.06 certification is important?

ECE 22.06 is the latest European safety standard for motorcycle helmets. It includes more rigorous testing procedures and impact tests compared to previous standards, ensuring a higher level of protection.

Can I replace the main visor with a tinted or mirrored one?

Yes, the main visor is replaceable, and tinted or mirrored options may be available separately. The helmet uses a quick-release system for easy visor changes.

How is the fit of this helmet generally described?

The LS2 FF908 Strobe 2 features a long-oval head shape. This means it is slightly longer from front to back and narrower side to side compared to a round-oval shape. It is designed for a snug, comfortable fit for riders whose head shape matches this profile.

Is the LS2 Intercom system included with the helmet?

No, the LS2 Intercom system (Bluetooth by Cardo) is sold separately. The helmet is designed with specific cutouts and wiring channels to accommodate its installation.

What is the weight of the helmet?

The helmet weighs approximately 1550 ± 50 grams, which is a competitive weight for a modular helmet of this type.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or has pressure points.

The 3D laser-cut foam is designed for a snug fit. If pressure points persist after a few rides, consider if the long-oval shape is suitable for your head. Contact customer support if discomfort is significant.

Main visor fogs up.

Install a Pinlock Max Vision insert into the prepared visor. Ensure the Pinlock is correctly seated for optimal anti-fog performance.

Sun visor is difficult to operate.

Ensure the lever mechanism is clean and free of debris. Operate it smoothly; forcing it may cause damage.

Chin bar does not lock securely.

Ensure the chin bar is fully rotated to the locked position. Check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism. If the issue persists, cease use and contact support.

Liner smells after use.

Remove the liner and wash it by hand with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before reassembling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile modular design with a 90° chin bar rotation.
  • Meets the latest ECE 22.06 safety standards.
  • Comfortable for long rides due to laser-cut padding and moisture-wicking liner.
  • Includes integrated sun visor and Pinlock-ready main visor.
  • Lightweight yet strong KPA shell construction.

Cons

  • Long-oval shape may not suit all head shapes.
  • Chin vent design might cause noise at higher speeds for some users.
  • Intercom system sold separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the helmet fits snugly but comfortably. The laser-cut foam should provide even pressure without hot spots.
  2. Visor Operation: Familiarize yourself with the main visor's quick-release mechanism and the operation of the internal sun visor lever.
  3. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the micrometric metal buckle for a secure fit. The chin strap should be snug, with no more than one or two fingers fitting between the strap and your chin.
  4. Ventilation: Open or close the chin and top vents as needed for airflow.

Compatibility:

  • Pinlock: The main visor is prepared for and compatible with the Pinlock Max Vision anti-fog insert (sold separately).
  • Intercom: The helmet is designed with recesses for the LS2 Intercom system (Bluetooth by Cardo), allowing for seamless integration.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Exterior: Clean the KPA shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Visors: Clean the main and sun visors with a soft cloth and mild soap or a dedicated visor cleaner. Do not use abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
  • Interior Liner: The comfort liner, cheek pads, and neck roll are removable and washable. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
