FAQs

What is the weight of the LS2 FF805 Thunder GP helmet?

The helmet weighs approximately 1280 ± 50 grams, making it very lightweight due to its 100% 6K carbon fiber construction.

Is the Pinlock MaxVision insert included with the helmet?

The helmet is prepared for and compatible with the Pinlock MaxVision insert, but the insert itself is typically sold separately.

How do I clean the helmet's interior lining?

The interior lining and cheek pads are removable. Hand wash them gently with mild soap and cold water, then allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.

What safety certifications does this helmet have?

The LS2 FF805 Thunder GP helmet is certified to the ECE 22-06 standard, which is the latest and most stringent European safety regulation.

Can I use this helmet for long-distance touring?

While the helmet offers excellent ventilation and safety, its design is primarily focused on racing performance. For very long-distance touring, some riders might prefer helmets with a quieter profile and potentially more comfort-oriented features.

What does the 'Emergency Release System' do?

The Emergency Release System allows emergency medical personnel to quickly and safely remove the helmet's cheek pads, facilitating easier and safer removal of the helmet from an injured rider.

Is the visor scratch-resistant and UV-resistant?

Yes, the racing visor is both scratch-resistant and UV-resistant, designed to maintain clarity and protect the rider's eyes.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose

Adjust the Double D-ring strap. If the helmet's internal fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if the correct size has been selected. The laser-cut foam padding is designed for a precise fit, and while it breaks in slightly, significant discomfort may indicate an incorrect size.

Visor fogs up excessively

Ensure the visor is properly closed. For persistent fogging, install a Pinlock MaxVision insert (sold separately) as the helmet is designed to accommodate it.

Difficulty operating visor mechanism

Ensure the visor is clean and free of debris. The Quick Release System lever should be operated smoothly. Consult the helmet's manual for specific instructions on visor removal and reinstallation if needed.

Chin strap is uncomfortable

Adjust the length of the strap using the Double D-ring system for a snug fit that doesn't pinch. Ensure the strap is not twisted.

  • Comprehensive safety features, including emergency release and multi-density EPS.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The LS2 FF805 helmet comes ready for use with its visor fitted. Ensure the Double D-ring strap is correctly adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit. The helmet is designed to accept a Pinlock MaxVision insert (sold separately) for anti-fog performance; follow the Pinlock instructions for installation onto the visor.

Compatibility:

  • Visor: Compatible with Pinlock MaxVision inserts and Tear-Offs (sold separately).
  • Communication Systems: The helmet features channeled EPS, which may allow for the installation of some aftermarket communication system speakers, though specific compatibility should be verified with the communication system manufacturer.

Care:

  • Lining: The interior lining and cheek pads are removable and washable. Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not use harsh detergents or machine wash/dry.
  • Exterior Shell: Clean the carbon fiber shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
  • Visor: Clean the visor regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner or just water. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated visor cleaner. Avoid scratching the UV-resistant coating.
  • Ventilation Ports: Keep ventilation openings clear of debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean any blockages.
