FAQs

Is this helmet suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the LS2 FF901 Advant X is designed for all seasons. It features a Pinlock-ready visor with an included insert to prevent fogging and an integrated sun visor for sunny conditions. The flip-up design also allows for ventilation in warmer weather.

What makes the 180º rotating chin bar beneficial?

The 180º rotation allows the chin bar to move completely out of the way, offering a more open and less restrictive feel similar to a jet helmet. This is useful for slower speeds, city riding, or when interacting with others.

How do I clean the helmet lining?

The comfort lining is removable. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling it in the helmet.

What is the ECE 22.06 certification?

ECE 22.06 is the latest European safety standard for motorcycle helmets, offering more rigorous testing than previous standards. This helmet is double homologated, meaning it meets the safety requirements for both a full-face helmet (P) and an open-face (jet) helmet (J).

Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?

Yes, the LS2 FF901 Advant X helmet includes the Pinlock Max Vision insert, designed to prevent visor fogging.

How heavy is the helmet?

The helmet weighs approximately 1550 grams, with a tolerance of ±50 grams.

What type of shell material is used?

The helmet features an ultra-light HPFC (High Performance Fiberglass Composite) shell for a balance of low weight and high safety.

Troubleshooting

Visor fogs up easily

Ensure the Pinlock Max Vision lens is correctly installed and sealed against the main visor. Clean both surfaces regularly.

Chin bar does not lock securely

Check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism. Ensure the chin bar is fully rotated to the intended position. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Helmet feels too tight or loose

The helmet comes in different shell sizes. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size. Over time, the lining will break in slightly.

Sun visor is difficult to deploy

Ensure your hands are clean and dry when operating the sun visor lever. Check for any debris around the visor mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Initial Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Ensure the helmet fits snugly but comfortably. The comfort lining uses laser-cut foam and can feel firm initially but will conform to your head shape over time.
  2. Visor Operation: Familiarize yourself with the main visor's quick-release mechanism and the integrated sun visor deployment lever.
  3. Chin Bar Rotation: Practice rotating the chin bar to ensure smooth operation. It locks securely in both open and closed positions.

Compatibility:

  • Pinlock: The visor is prepared for the Pinlock Max Vision system, and the lens is included. Install the Pinlock according to its specific instructions to prevent fogging.
  • Helmet Communication Systems: The helmet interior may have space for aftermarket Bluetooth communication systems, though professional installation is recommended to avoid damaging the lining or shell.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Shell Cleaning: Wipe the exterior shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Lining Cleaning: The comfort lining is removable and washable. Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Visor Cleaning: Clean the visor with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the Pinlock lens is also cleaned gently according to its instructions.
  • Ventilation Ports: Keep ventilation openings clear of debris to ensure proper airflow.
