FAQs

What makes the HPTT construction beneficial?

HPTT (High Pressure Thermoplastic Technology) allows the helmet to be constructed with a mix of ABS materials, resulting in a shell that is both very safe and exceptionally lightweight, reducing rider fatigue.

Is a Pinlock insert included with the helmet?

No, the helmet is Pinlock Max Vision ready, meaning it has the necessary fittings for a Pinlock insert, but the insert itself is typically sold separately.

How do I clean the visor without scratching it?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild visor cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive materials.

Can I use this helmet for motorcycle racing?

The LS2 FF353 RAPID is primarily designed for daily commuting and mid-distance journeys. While it offers good protection, it may not meet the stringent safety standards or possess the advanced features required for professional racing.

What is the purpose of the breath deflector?

The breath deflector is a small insert that fits over the nose area inside the helmet. Its purpose is to redirect exhaled air downwards and away from the visor, significantly reducing the chances of the visor fogging up.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is generally recommended to replace a motorcycle helmet every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and manufacturer recommendations, or immediately after any impact, even if no visible damage is present.

What does 'Class A visor' mean?

A Class A visor signifies that it meets optical standards for clarity and distortion-free vision, ensuring that what you see through the visor is accurate and true to reality.

Troubleshooting

Visor is difficult to remove or attach

Ensure the Quick Release System (QRS) levers are fully actuated. Clean any debris from the mechanism. Refer to the helmet manual for precise QRS operation.

Helmet fogs up excessively

Ensure the breath deflector is correctly positioned. Consider installing a Pinlock Max Vision insert for superior anti-fog performance. Ensure vents are open if applicable and weather permits.

Micrometric buckle is stiff or hard to operate

Clean the buckle mechanism to remove dirt or debris. Lightly lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, ensuring no lubricant gets on contact points.

Chin strap feels loose even when buckled

Adjust the strap length by sliding the strap through the buckle mechanism until a secure, snug fit is achieved. Ensure the excess strap is secured properly.
