Product Information
Full details
The LS2 FF908 Strobe II Flip-Up Helmet is designed for adult male commuters and touring riders seeking a versatile and safe head protection solution. Its key benefit is the 90º rotating chin bar, offering the convenience of a full-face helmet with the openness of a jet helmet. A potential caveat is ensuring the ECE 22.06 & P/J homologation meets specific regional requirements. This modular helmet features a KPA shell for high impact resistance, 3D laser-cut padding for comfort, and a visor system ready for Pinlock and equipped with a drop-down sun visor.

FAQs
Is the LS2 FF908 Strobe II helmet suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, the helmet is designed for various conditions with its anti-scratch, UV-resistant main visor, Pinlock-ready system, and integrated drop-down sun visor. However, extreme weather may require additional gear.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The internal liner is removable and washable. Hand wash it with mild soap and cold water, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
Can I use the helmet with a Bluetooth communication system?
Yes, the helmet is ready for the LS2 INTERCOM system, which is Bluetooth by Cardo. Ensure you follow the specific installation guide for the intercom unit.
What does P/J homologation mean?
P/J homologation means the helmet is certified for safety in both the 'P' (Protective) full-face configuration and the 'J' (Jet) open-face configuration, with the chin bar locked.
Is the Pinlock insert included with the helmet?
The helmet is ready for the Pinlock 70 MaxVision system, but the insert itself is typically sold separately.
How do I ensure the helmet fits correctly?
A proper fit means the helmet should be snug without causing pressure points. It should not move significantly forward, backward, or side-to-side when you shake your head. The cheek pads should make firm contact with your cheeks.
What is the purpose of the 90º rotating chin bar?
The 90º rotating chin bar allows you to easily convert the helmet from a full-face configuration to an open-face (jet) configuration, offering more ventilation and a less confined feeling when needed.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose
Adjust internal padding if possible, or consider alternative cheek pads/liners. Ensure the chin strap is correctly adjusted.
Chin bar is difficult to rotate or lock
Ensure the chin bar area is clean and free of debris. Lubricate pivot points sparingly if recommended by the manufacturer. Check for any obstructions.
Visor fogs up excessively
Ensure the Pinlock 70 MaxVision insert is correctly installed and sealed. Open helmet vents to improve airflow. Use an anti-fog spray on the main visor if a Pinlock is not used.
Sun visor does not retract smoothly
Clean the sun visor mechanism and its tracks. Ensure no obstructions are preventing smooth movement.
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Clean the micrometric buckle mechanism. Ensure strap alignment is correct during fastening.
