Today we will take a closer look at the LS2 HELMETS full face helmet model to see what makes it stand out, as well as its specifications and safety standards to help you make a decision before its official release.
Road Touring Model Helmet Group
Full Face Helmets In this group, there are quite a few models to choose from, ranging from entry-level specs to top-class road touring. So let’s start with the first model in entry-level specs.
– FF353 Rapid : An entry-level model that emphasizes sportiness and is easy to use. It has the appearance of a lightweight full-face sports helmet weighing around 1300 +-50gr. It comes with ECE22.05 and DOT standards and comes in 2 Shell Sizes (XS-SM), (L-XL-2XL-3XL) and a Micrometric Buckle chin strap .
Although it is in the entry-level spec group, the standard of the material used in the production is not ordinary, which is HPFC, a high-performance composite fiber. It is a meticulous combination of a unique weave of fibers pre-impregnated with resin, which is strong, ultra-lightweight, but the hard shell absorbs impact and dissipates energy for a safer ride.
It is a sports helmet that emphasizes ease of use, such as daily driving in the city, traveling at speeds of travel ( not exceeding 140 km / h ). The LS2 standard has a clear view through the windshield, which is made of 3D Optically Correct “A Class” polycarbonate, a durable material that prevents distortion and provides maximum clarity.
– FF800 Storm : Move up a bit with the mid-level sport touring model that comes with an internal sun visor (Visor) or Twin Shield System. With a shape that still maintains a sharp sporty look, it emphasizes use for both city driving and long-distance travel.
This mid-range helmet model will come with the KPA standard: Kinetic Polymer Alloy , a proprietary blend of polycarbonate, thermoplastic and additional materials developed specifically by LS2 to provide lightweight, high impact resistance, yet flexible energy distribution, along with ECE 22.05, DOT standards.
This model has 2 Shell Size (XS-SM), (L-XL-2XL-3XL) and Micrometric Metal Buckle chin strap.
It is a sporty Road Touring helmet with specs in the mid-level helmet group, with a weight that is not too much, around 1400+-50gr. , with complete functions, and an introductory price that will definitely make anyone who sees it say “Wow!!” when compared to the specs and value for money provided.
-FF811 Vector II HPFC: Another sport touring model that has been upgraded to another level. It is still a Twin Shield System with an internal sun visor (Visor) but has added safety systems such as Emergency Release System for removing the gloves in case of an emergency. Comfortable weight at 1350+-50gr. and available in 3 Shell Sizes (2XS-XS-S), (ML), (XL-2XL-3XL) with ECE22.05, DOT safety standards.
Another highlight of the FF811 is the Fog Resistant, an internal ventilation system that will help reduce fogging to the minimum. We may also see this model in a carbon Kevlar version. We’ll have to wait and see on the official launch date. But let me tell you, it will be a carbon Kevlar sports touring helmet that costs no more than ten thousand baht.
Road Race Model
We have now reached the last group of full-face helmets, the Road Race , which is a group of sport racing helmets that support high-speed use, including use on the racetrack. It must be said that this is the model that made LS2 famous, making riders around the world familiar with it, both in terms of material development and excellent performance.
– FF805 Thunder: A sports racing model that has been further developed from the FF323 Arrow c evo . It has changed both its appearance and added features such as spoilers that help create better aerodynamics than before. However, it still maintains the unique identity of the LS2 , which is that it has a very wide windshield, so when driving at high speed, there is nothing blocking your view through the windshield.
It is a top model that uses materials Made of Carbon 6K
(with aramide fibers) with the latest safety standards ECE22.06 But has only a weight of 1400+-50gr. Wow!!
Double D Ring Chin Strap , Reinforced Chin Strap and Emergency Release System are available in 3 Shell Sizes (XS-S), (ML), (XL-2XL).
FF805 Thunder will be divided into 2 types:
– Road Race produced for use on the road with top specifications and quality.
– FIM Model , the racing specification X-Static© Silver Liner Fabric that racers wear when competing in the Moto GP arena.
The good news for Thai riders is that the re-launch of the LS2 will also include an FIM -spec model for you to own. But as far as I know, it will be limited to no more than 40 pieces .
For the introduction of helmets in the Full Face group with models that Thai riders will get to experience, we have briefly introduced you to them as information for making a decision before choosing to buy or use them. Next time, we will come to introduce other models of LS2 HELMETS to see what else is interesting, such as the Uban Commuter, Urban DownTown, Off Road groups , etc.
I will write it as information for you to read next time …
