FAQs

What makes the LS2 MX701 Explorer Carbon Frontier II so light?

The helmet utilizes a full carbon fiber shell, which is a strong yet very lightweight material, significantly reducing overall helmet weight compared to traditional composite materials.

Is the Pinlock Max Vision insert included with the helmet?

Yes, the Pinlock® 70 Max Vision insert is included with the helmet, designed to prevent fogging on the main visor.

How do I clean the helmet's interior lining?

The interior lining and cheek pads are removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. They must be air-dried completely before being placed back in the helmet.

What does ECE 22.06 homologation mean?

ECE 22.06 is the latest European safety standard for motorcycle helmets. It signifies that the helmet has passed a more rigorous set of tests, including those for rotational impact, compared to the previous ECE 22.05 standard, ensuring a higher level of safety.

Can I remove the peak for road riding?

Yes, the peak is adjustable and removable, allowing you to customize the helmet's appearance and function for different riding styles, including more road-oriented use.

What is the purpose of the Emergency-Release-System?

The Emergency-Release-System allows trained emergency medical personnel to safely and quickly remove the helmet's cheek pads, facilitating easier and safer removal of the helmet from an injured rider's head.

How many shell sizes are available for this helmet?

The LS2 MX701 Explorer Carbon Frontier II is available in three shell sizes: XS-S, M-L, and XL-3XL, to accommodate a wide range of head sizes and ensure optimal fit.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose

The helmet comes in multiple shell sizes (XS-S, M-L, XL-3XL). If the fit is not ideal, consider trying a different size. The cheek pads are also removable and can sometimes be replaced with thinner or thicker options if available from the manufacturer.

Main visor fogs up significantly

Ensure the Pinlock® 70 Max Vision insert is correctly installed on the inside of the main visor. Clean both the visor and the Pinlock insert regularly according to care instructions.

Ventilation seems insufficient

Check that all ventilation ports (chin, top, rear exhaust) are open and free from obstruction (e.g., dirt, debris). Ensure the channeled EPS is clear.

Sun visor is difficult to operate

Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of debris. Operate the lever smoothly. If persistent, consult the manual or manufacturer support.
