Product Information
Full details
The LS2 FF908 Strobe II Flip-Up Helmet is designed for adult riders, particularly commuters and touring enthusiasts, seeking versatility and safety. Its key benefit is the 90° rotatable chin bar, offering the convenience of a full-face helmet with the openness of a jet helmet. A potential consideration is ensuring the correct fit, as helmet comfort is subjective. This helmet features a secure KPA shell, ECE 22.06 certification, and integrated comfort features for long rides.

FAQs
What does ECE 22.06 homologation mean?
ECE 22.06 is the latest European safety standard for motorcycle helmets, representing a more rigorous testing process compared to the previous ECE 22.05 standard, ensuring higher levels of impact protection and safety.
Can I ride with the chin bar in the open position?
Yes, the helmet features P/J homologation, meaning it is certified to be used legally with the chin bar in the open (jet helmet) position. Always ensure the chin bar is securely locked in place.
Is a Pinlock insert included with the helmet?
No, the Pinlock MaxVision insert is not included with the helmet but is available separately. The visor is prepared to accept the insert.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The comfort liner is removable and can be hand-washed with cool water and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling.
What is KPA, and why is it used for the shell?
KPA stands for Kinetic Polymer Alloy. It's a material developed by LS2 that offers exceptional performance in terms of impact absorption and penetration resistance, while remaining lightweight, providing a good balance of safety and comfort.
Can I install an aftermarket communication system?
The helmet is ready for the LS2 Intercom system. Ensure any aftermarket system is compatible with the helmet's internal space and speaker pockets.
What is the difference between 'Matt Titanium' and other colors?
'Matt Titanium' refers to the color and finish of the helmet's exterior shell. Other color options may be available with different finishes (e.g., gloss) or graphics.
Troubleshooting
Chin bar does not lock securely when closed.
Ensure no obstructions are present in the locking mechanism. Check that the chin bar is fully seated in the closed position. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Sun visor is difficult to operate.
Check for any debris or obstructions around the sun visor mechanism. Ensure the helmet liner is correctly seated, as a misaligned liner can interfere with operation.
Ventilation seems insufficient.
Verify that all ventilation ports (front, top, and rear exhaust) are open and not blocked by dirt or debris. Ensure the internal EPS channels are not obstructed.
Helmet feels uncomfortable after a short period.
Reconfirm helmet sizing using a measuring tape. Check that the comfort padding is correctly positioned. Some initial pressure points may resolve with break-in, but significant discomfort may indicate an incorrect size or shape fit.
