DescriptionThe whole story

The LS2 FF805 Thunder GP Aero is a full-face race helmet built without compromise — its shell is constructed entirely from 100% carbon fibre, delivering extraordinary rigidity and impact resistance at a weight of just 1,280 g ±50 g (size M). Born from LS2's motorsport programme, the Polar Matte Black finish gives this helmet a purposeful, understated presence on road or track alike.

Key Features

  • 100% carbon fibre shell — three shell sizes ensure a precise, performance fit across the full size range
  • UNECE 22-06 certified for road legality across Europe and beyond
  • Wide, scratch-resistant visor prepared for Pinlock Max Vision 120 anti-fog insert, included in the box
  • Race spoiler integrated for maximum aerodynamic stability at speed
  • EPS-channelled ventilation system — multiple forehead and crown vents draw air efficiently through internal ducting
  • Emergency cheek-pad release system for safer helmet removal after an incident
  • X-Static© Silver antibacterial inner lining, fully removable and machine washable

Construction and Materials

Where many helmets at this price point rely on composite or fibreglass shells, the FF805 Thunder is uncompromising: every shell is moulded entirely in carbon fibre. The result is a helmet that withstands track impacts with confidence while remaining noticeably light in hand and on the head over long riding sessions. Reinforced double-D ring chin strap retention adds a further layer of security, and safety-reflective patches improve visibility in low-light conditions.

Ventilation and Comfort

The internal EPS liner is channelled to guide airflow directly from the forehead and crown vents through the helmet, reducing heat build-up during hard riding. The removable inner lining is treated with X-Static© Silver antibacterial technology, keeping the interior fresh across extended use. When it does need a clean, the full liner pulls out and goes straight in the washing machine.

Visor and Visibility

The broad, panoramic visor offers exceptional peripheral vision — a genuine advantage during track sessions where situational awareness is critical. The visor is prepared for tear-off strips out of the box, and the included Pinlock Max Vision 120 insert all but eliminates fogging, making it a ready-to-race package from the moment you open the box.
