Product Information
Full details
The LS2 FF908 Strobe II Flip-Up Helmet is designed for adult male commuters and touring riders seeking a comfortable, safe, and versatile helmet. Its key benefit is the 90º rotating chin bar, offering the flexibility of a full-face helmet with the openness of a 3/4 helmet, all while meeting the ECE 22.06 safety standard. A potential caveat for some users might be ensuring the fit is precise, as comfort is heavily reliant on the 3D laser-cut padding.

FAQs
What makes the LS2 FF908 Strobe II helmet ECE 22.06 certified?
ECE 22.06 is the latest European safety standard, involving more rigorous testing than previous standards, including impact tests at multiple speeds and angles, and assessments of rotational forces. The helmet's KPA shell and internal design meet these stringent requirements.
Can I use any Bluetooth intercom system with this helmet?
The helmet is specifically ready for the LS2 INTERCOM, which is a system developed by Cardo. While other systems might be adaptable, official compatibility is with the LS2/Cardo unit.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The comfort liner is removable and washable. Hand wash it in cool water with mild soap and allow it to air dry completely before reassembling.
Is the Pinlock insert included with the helmet?
No, the Pinlock 70 MaxVision insert is not included. The visor is prepared for it, and it can be purchased separately to enhance fog resistance.
What is KPA?
KPA stands for Kinetic Polymer Alloy. It is a proprietary blend used by LS2 that offers exceptional strength, impact absorption, and flexibility, contributing to the helmet's overall safety and lightweight feel.
How does the double visor system work?
The helmet has a primary clear outer visor and an internal, manually operated drop-down sun visor. You can deploy or retract the sun visor using a slider or lever, usually located on the side or top of the helmet base.
What is the main advantage of a flip-up helmet?
The primary advantage is versatility. You can flip up the chin bar to speak with ease, drink, or enjoy open-air riding without removing the helmet, while still having the option for full-face protection when needed.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose
Check helmet sizing. The 3D laser-cut padding is designed for a precise fit. If it's too tight, consider if a larger size is needed. If too loose, ensure all straps are properly adjusted. Replacement padding with different thicknesses may be available from LS2.
Visor fogs up easily
Ensure the helmet is properly ventilated. For persistent fogging, install a Pinlock 70 MaxVision insert (sold separately) into the prepared visor.
Sun visor is difficult to operate
Ensure the sun visor mechanism is clean and free of debris. Operate the lever smoothly. If issues persist, consult the user manual or contact support.
Chin bar does not lock securely
Check that the chin bar is fully rotated to the locked position. Inspect the locking mechanism for any obstructions. Never ride with the chin bar unlocked if it is not secured in the fully open position.
