FAQs

What is the primary material of the helmet shell?

The LS2 FF805 Thunder GP helmet shell is constructed from 100% Carbon 6K, a high-performance composite material.

Is the Pinlock MaxVision insert included with the helmet?

The helmet comes with a visor that is prepared for the Pinlock MaxVision system, but the Pinlock insert itself is typically sold separately.

How do I clean the helmet's interior?

The interior lining and cheek pads are removable and can be hand washed with mild soap and cool water. They must be allowed to air dry completely before being put back in the helmet.

What safety certification does this helmet meet?

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

What does the 'emergency release system' refer to?

This is a safety feature that allows emergency medical personnel to easily and safely remove the helmet's cheek pads, facilitating quick access to the rider's head and neck in case of an accident.

How many shell sizes are available for this model?

The LS2 FF805 Thunder GP helmet is produced in 3 different shell sizes to accommodate a range of head sizes for optimal fit and safety.

What is the approximate weight of the helmet?

The helmet weighs approximately 1280 ± 50 grams, making it notably lightweight for a full-face carbon helmet.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or has pressure points.

The helmet may need a break-in period. If persistent, consider if the long-oval shape is suitable. For minor tightness, the lining may compress over time. For significant discomfort, consult with a dealer about potential liner replacements or alternative sizes.

Visor fogs up excessively.

Ensure the Pinlock MaxVision insert is correctly installed and seals properly against the main visor. Clean both surfaces according to manufacturer instructions. If not using Pinlock, consider using an anti-fog spray or wipe.

Ventilation seems inadequate.

Ensure all vent openings (chin, front, top, and exhaust ports) are open and unobstructed by debris or liner material. Check that the channelled EPS is clear.

Visor release mechanism is stiff.

Ensure the visor and mechanism are clean and free of dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pivot points if necessary, following product recommendations.

Interior lining smells unpleasant.

Remove the lining and cheek pads and wash them by hand with mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely before reassembling the helmet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight due to the 100% carbon fibre construction.
  • Excellent aerodynamic performance thanks to the racing spoiler.
  • High level of safety with multi-density EPS and emergency release system.
  • Comfortable for long rides with breathable, hypoallergenic, and removable lining.
  • Superior visibility with a wide visor and Pinlock readiness.

Cons

  • The long-oval shape may not fit all head shapes comfortably.
  • Primarily designed for racing, potentially making it less comfortable for casual touring for some riders.
  • The premium materials and technology may come at a higher price point.
  • Requires specific care for the carbon fibre finish.
  • Visor replacement or Pinlock installation may require careful handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the helmet fits snugly and comfortably. The laser-cut foam should conform to your head without creating pressure points.
  2. Visor Adjustment: If not already fitted, install the Pinlock MaxVision insert onto the main visor according to its instructions. Ensure the visor mechanism is clean for smooth operation.
  3. Chin Curtain: Attach the chin curtain if desired for reduced wind noise and drafts.

Compatibility:

  • Pinlock MaxVision: The visor is specifically designed to accommodate the Pinlock MaxVision anti-fog system. Pinlock inserts are sold separately.
  • Tear-Offs: The racing visor is ready for the application of tear-off films for track use.
  • Communication Systems: While not specifically designed for integrated systems, there is generally space for external communicators, though installation should be done carefully to avoid compromising shell integrity or comfort.

Care Instructions:

  • Shell: Clean the carbon fibre shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
  • Lining: The interior lining and cheek pads are removable and washable. Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Visor: Clean the visor with a soft cloth and mild soap or a dedicated visor cleaner. Use the Pinlock MaxVision or approved cleaners for the antifog treatment. Avoid scratching the visor surface.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in its protective bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
