Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is KPA and why is it used?
KPA stands for Kinetic Polymer Alloy. It's a material used for the helmet's outer shell because it offers an exceptional balance between lightness, high strength, and excellent resistance to impacts and penetration.
Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?
No, the LS2 FF906 Advant Helmet is Pinlock MaxVision ready, meaning it has the anchors to fit a Pinlock insert, but the insert itself is sold separately.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The interior liner is removable. Hand wash it with mild soap and water, then let it air dry completely before putting it back into the helmet.
What is the purpose of the Twin Shield System?
The Twin Shield System includes an integrated, retractable sun visor that you can easily deploy or retract to adapt to changing light conditions, enhancing comfort and visibility without needing to stop.
What sizes are available for this helmet?
The LS2 FF906 Advant Helmet is available in a range of sizes from XS (51-53 cm) to XXL (61-63 cm). It's recommended to measure your head circumference for the best fit.
Is this helmet suitable for road riding?
While designed for MTB DH, Enduro, Freeride, and BMX, the helmet's protective features and ventilation could be considered for certain types of road or commuting use, but it's primarily optimized for off-road demands.
How do I ensure the helmet is securely fastened?
The helmet features a micrometric metal buckle. Ensure the buckle is properly engaged and tightened to a secure fit before each ride. It should feel snug against your chin without causing discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Check if you have selected the correct size. Some models allow for minor adjustments with specific padding kits (sold separately or detailed in the manual).
Sun visor is difficult to operate.
Ensure no obstructions are around the visor mechanism. Refer to the user manual for the correct operation sequence and lubricating points if necessary.

Fit a Pinlock MaxVision insert (sold separately) to the inside of the main visor. Ensure the insert is correctly installed according to its instructions.
