Product Information

Full details

The LS2 FF901 Advant X Flip-Up Helmet is designed for adult riders seeking a versatile helmet for all seasons, offering the convenience of a 180º rotating chin guard and a lightweight yet robust HPFC composite shell. Its key benefit lies in its adaptability to various riding conditions and weather, featuring a wide anti-scratch visor prepared for Pinlock Max Vision and an integrated drop-down sun visor. A potential caveat for some users might be ensuring compatibility with the LS2 INTERCOM system, which requires adhesive installation.

FAQs

How do I clean the removable liner?

The removable liner can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before putting it back in the helmet.

Is the Pinlock 120 MaxVision included with the helmet?

Yes, the LS2 FF901 Advant X Flip-Up Helmet comes with the Pinlock 120 MaxVision insert included.

Can I install a different brand of intercom system?

The helmet is specifically compatible with the LS2 INTERCOM system, which requires adhesive installation. Installing other systems may not be straightforward and could affect the helmet's integrity.

What is the Emergency Release System?

The Emergency Release System allows emergency medical personnel to quickly and safely remove the helmet from a rider in case of an accident, minimizing the risk of further injury to the neck and spine.

How do I operate the internal drop-down sun visor?

The sun visor is operated by a slider located on the side of the helmet. Slide it in one direction to lower the visor and in the opposite direction to retract it.

What makes the chin guard '180º rotating'?

This means the chin guard can be fully rotated back and secured, effectively turning the full-face helmet into an open-face helmet without needing to remove the chin bar.

Is this helmet suitable for very cold weather?

While the helmet provides good protection, the included Pinlock helps prevent fogging. For extreme cold, consider additional balaclavas or neck warmers. The flip-up design might also be less insulating than a fixed full-face helmet in very cold conditions.

Troubleshooting

Visor fogs up easily.

Ensure the Pinlock 120 MaxVision insert is correctly installed and sealed against the main visor. Also, check that the helmet's vents are open to allow for airflow.

Chin bar does not lock securely.

Verify that the chin bar is fully rotated into the desired position. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing it from locking. 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 slider is moving freely. If it remains stiff, a light application of silicone lubricant on the slider might help (use sparingly).

Helmet feels loose or uncomfortable.

Adjust the chin strap for a snug fit. Ensure the internal liner is correctly seated. If the helmet still feels ill-fitting, consider if a different size might be more appropriate.

Wind noise is excessive.

Ensure all vents are properly closed when not needed for ventilation. Check that the chin curtain is in place and that the visor is sealing correctly. Riding position can also influence wind noise.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile with a 180º rotating chin bar for all-season use.
  • Lightweight yet durable construction for rider comfort and safety.
  • Excellent visibility with a wide visor and included Pinlock Max Vision.
  • Integrated sun visor adds convenience for changing light conditions.

Cons

  • Intercom system installation requires adhesive, which may not suit all preferences.
  • While lightweight, the composite shell's impact resistance can vary compared to full-carbon options.
  • The flip-up mechanism, while convenient, can sometimes introduce more noise than a fixed full-face helmet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  5. LS2 Intercom Compatibility: If installing the LS2 Intercom system, clean the designated area on the helmet shell thoroughly before applying the adhesive as per the intercom system's instructions.
