FAQs
Can I use this helmet as both a full-face and an open-face helmet?
Yes, the LS2 Advant features a 180-degree rotating chin bar, allowing you to seamlessly switch between full-face and open-face (jet) configurations. It is ECE 22.06 certified for both P (full-face) and J (jet) usage.
Is the Pinlock insert included with the helmet?
The helmet is Pinlock MaxVision ready, meaning it is designed to accept a Pinlock anti-fog insert. However, the Pinlock insert is typically sold separately.
How do I clean the helmet's interior lining?
The interior lining is removable and washable. Hand wash it with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry completely. Do not use a washing machine or tumble dryer.
What is KPA and why is it important for the helmet shell?
KPA (Kinetic Polymer Alloy) is a proprietary blend developed by LS2. It offers an ultra-lightweight shell with high penetration resistance and flexibility, contributing to superior energy dispersion and rider safety.
How do I adjust the sun visor?
The sun visor is operated by a hidden sliding button located on the side of the helmet. This allows for quick and easy deployment or retraction while riding.
What is the approximate weight of this helmet?
The LS2 Advant Modular helmet weighs approximately 1.650 grams, with a tolerance of +/- 50 grams.
Does this helmet have good ventilation?
Yes, the helmet features a channeled EPS system with top vents, a chin vent, and exhaust ports designed to provide effective airflow and keep the rider cool.
Troubleshooting
Chin bar does not lock securely.
Ensure the chin bar is fully rotated to the 'full-face' position and check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Sun visor is difficult to deploy or retract.
Check the sliding button mechanism for dirt or debris. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Ensure the main visor is fully retracted or in a suitable position for sun visor operation.
Interior lining smells or feels dirty.
Remove the interior lining and hand wash it with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling. Ensure it is fully dry to prevent odor.
Main visor fogs up significantly.
Ensure the helmet is equipped with a Pinlock MaxVision insert (sold separately) for optimal anti-fog performance. Ensure ventilation ports are open to allow for airflow.
Helmet feels heavy during long rides.
While the helmet is designed for comfort, its weight (approx. 1.650 kg) may be noticeable for some. Ensure the helmet is properly adjusted for optimal weight distribution. Consider taking breaks during very long journeys.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup:
- Fit Check: Ensure the helmet fits snugly without being uncomfortably tight. The laser-cut foam padding should conform to your head shape.
- Visor Operation: Familiarize yourself with the quick-release system for the main visor and the mechanism for deploying the internal sun visor.
- Chin Strap: Adjust the micrometric buckle for a secure, comfortable fit. The reinforced chin strap should remain in place.
Compatibility:
- Pinlock MaxVision: The helmet is 'Pinlock MaxVision ready'. A Pinlock insert is recommended for anti-fogging and is typically purchased separately.
- Communication Systems: The helmet interior generally accommodates most aftermarket Bluetooth communication systems, though professional installation is advised for optimal integration.
Care and Maintenance:
- Interior Lining: The interior lining is removable and washable. Hand wash gently with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Shell and Exterior: Clean the KPA outer shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
- Visors: Clean the main and sun visors with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution specifically designed for visors. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove water spots. Always use the quick-release system to remove visors for thorough cleaning.
- Ventilation Ports: Keep ventilation channels and ports clear of debris.
