FAQs

What is the primary material of the FF805 Thunder GP helmet shell?

The helmet shell is constructed from 100% Carbon fibre, specifically using Carbon 6K technology, which makes it very lightweight and strong.

Is this helmet suitable for everyday commuting?

While it offers excellent safety and comfort, its design is heavily influenced by racing aerodynamics. For pure commuting, other models might offer slightly different comfort or features, but it is fully certified and usable for all riding.

How do I clean the helmet's interior?

The interior lining and cheek pads are removable and can be hand-washed with cold water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely.

Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?

The visor is Pinlock MaxVision ready, meaning it has the necessary posts and preparation for the insert. The Pinlock insert itself is typically sold separately.

What safety certifications does this helmet meet?

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

How does the emergency release system work?

The system features red tabs on the cheek pads. In an emergency, trained personnel can pull these tabs to easily remove the cheek pads, allowing for safer removal of the helmet without stressing the rider's neck.

What does 'Long-oval' shape refer to?

This refers to the helmet's internal head shape. A long-oval shape is slightly longer from front to back and narrower side to side compared to a round-oval shape, designed to fit a specific head profile.

Troubleshooting

Visor fogs up easily.

Ensure the Pinlock MaxVision insert is correctly installed and seals properly against the main visor. Use the chin vent and top vents to improve airflow.

Helmet feels too tight or loose.

Helmets come in different shell sizes and often have interchangeable cheek pads. Consult the sizing chart and consider if a different shell size or thicker/thinner cheek pads are needed for a better fit.

Difficulty operating the visor mechanism.

Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the mechanism. Refer to the manual for the correct procedure for opening, closing, and removing the visor.

Interior lining smells unpleasant.

Remove the lining and pads and hand wash them with cold water and mild soap. Ensure they are completely dry before reassembling.

Chin strap is uncomfortable.

Adjust the strap for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the D-rings are positioned correctly and the strap is flat against the chin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight due to full carbon fibre construction.
  • Superior aerodynamics for reduced drag and stability.
  • Excellent visibility with a wide visor and Pinlock readiness.
  • Advanced safety features including emergency release cheek pads.
  • Comfortable and hygienic interior with silver-infused fabric.

Cons

  • May be more specialized for racing than general commuting.
  • Premium materials can result in a higher price point.
  • Long-oval shape might not suit all head types perfectly.
  • Visor mechanism requires care for optimal function.
  • Requires specific accessories like Pinlock for full anti-fog capability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fitment: Ensure the helmet is the correct size. The cheek pads should feel snug but not uncomfortable, and the helmet should not move excessively when you shake your head.
  2. Visor Installation: If necessary, attach the Pinlock MaxVision insert to the inside of the main visor according to the insert's instructions. The main visor can be removed using the quick-release system for cleaning or accessory fitting.
  3. Strap Adjustment: Fasten the Double-D ring chin strap securely. Ensure it is snug enough to prevent the helmet from rolling off.

Compatibility:

  • Pinlock MaxVision: The visor is pre-equipped and designed to work seamlessly with the Pinlock MaxVision anti-fog system.
  • Tear-Offs: The visor is ready for the application of racing tear-offs.
  • Aftermarket Communication Systems: While not integrated, many aftermarket Bluetooth communication systems can be fitted, though care should be taken not to interfere with the helmet's internal structure or safety padding.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the carbon fibre finish.
  • Cleaning the Visor: Use a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. The visor is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Always ensure it's clean for optimal visibility.
  • Interior Lining: The removable and washable lining and pads can be gently hand-washed with cold water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in its provided bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the shell and interior materials.
