{"product_id":"ls2-ff902-scope-ii-solid-nardo-grey-helmet","title":"LS2 FF902 Scope II Solid Nardo Grey – Modular Touring Helmet ECE 22.06 P\/J","description":"\u003cp\u003eNardo grey arrived on motorcycles from the car world, and it stuck for a reason: it is a light, flat, slightly cool grey that reads as engineering rather than decoration. On a modular helmet it does something useful too — a mid-light tone shows the join between chin bar and upper shell far less than either black or white, so the helmet reads as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThree shells for seven sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree shells for seven sizes (XS–S \/ M–L \/ XL–3XL), and the reason that matters is money rather than engineering. Each shell size needs its own injection tool, its own EPS moulds and its own homologation testing, which is why one-shell and two-shell helmets are the norm below three hundred euros. The Scope II carries three at a hundred and seventy-nine, and that is the single most unusual thing on its specification sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the gloss Nardo grey finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the grey that people notice without being able to say why. It sits between silver and slate, cool rather than warm, and under a gloss clear coat it picks up sky rather than sun — which is what keeps it from looking like primer. Against a black motorcycle it lifts; against a silver one it belongs; against anything brightly coloured it stays out of the argument. Practically it is the most forgiving of the three light finishes here. Road film is grey, so a wet commute leaves it looking far less neglected than gloss white would, and the clear coat still wipes clean in one pass, which matt Nardo would not. The one honest caveat: gloss shows fine scratches more readily than matt, so a microfibre cloth rather than a workshop rag is part of owning it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHPTT: what the shell actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHPTT is a thermoplastic, and thermoplastic shells have a reputation problem they only half deserve. A composite shell is stiffer and lighter for the same strength, and that is a genuine advantage. What a thermoplastic does better is behave predictably: every shell is the same, because it is moulded rather than laid by hand, and there is no variation in resin content or fibre placement to worry about. On a helmet at this price that consistency is worth more than the extra stiffness would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNinety degrees, not one hundred and eighty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNinety degrees, with a new locking system LS2 introduced for the 22.06 generation. The mechanism is the part that was redesigned rather than the geometry — the bar itself travels the conventional arc that most modular helmets use, and it is the latch that holds it closed which had to change to pass the current standard's chin-impact regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ECE 22.06 and the P\/J label actually mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eECE 22.06 is not a relabelled 22.05, and the difference is measurable. Impact points went from five to as many as eighteen. A second, lower test speed was added, because a helmet that performs at 8 m\/s does not automatically perform at 6. And an oblique impact against a sandpaper-faced anvil was introduced to put a ceiling on rotational acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P\/J pair on the same label is the modular-specific part. A flip-up can be homologated closed (P), open (J) or both. This one was submitted and tested in each configuration and passed in each — which matters because a P-only modular is certified in one state, and opening it on the move puts you outside its approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits — and what SHARP actually tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe comparison worth making first is not against another brand but against the row above this one in our own range. The FF820 Rapid III uses the same class of shell and weighs 1350 g — four hundred grams less. That difference is the entire cost of a chin bar that opens. It is a useful number to hold in your head while reading the rest of this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn test results: SHARP's three-star entry is for the \u003cstrong\u003eFF902 Scope\u003c\/strong\u003e, tested May 2022 to ECE 22.05 at 1.65 kg over six sizes.

The chin intake aims air at the inside face of the visor, which is what actually clears mist; the front intake feeds ducts moulded into the EPS so the flow crosses the head instead of stopping at the first block of polystyrene; the exhaust port sits in the shell's low-pressure wake and draws it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is COOLMAX — a fibre with channels down its length that wicks moisture off the skin and spreads it to evaporate.

Pinlock grades their lenses by light transmission: 70 passes about seventy per cent of light, XLT considerably more. A 70 lens is very slightly darker than a bare visor at night. It is also included, where several helmets above this price include nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting the helmet off a fallen rider\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetention is a \u003cstrong\u003emicrometric ratchet buckle\u003c\/strong\u003e on a reinforced chin strap. Set the length once and the ratchet returns to that tension every ride, which sounds like a convenience and is really a safety feature: the commonest strap error is not a failed buckle but a strap done up loosely because the fastening is fiddly and you are in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1750 grams, noise, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this helmet does not do. \u003cstrong\u003eIt does not save weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 1750 g it is the joint-heaviest helmet we stock, and a polymer shell carrying a chin bar is the whole explanation. \u003cstrong\u003eIt does not carry a crash rating\u003c\/strong\u003e — SHARP tested the previous generation, not this one. \u003cstrong\u003eIt does not fold its chin bar behind your head\u003c\/strong\u003e; ninety degrees is where it stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWind noise, without a fabricated number: no measurement exists for this model. Structurally it enters at the neck roll, under the chin bar and through the vents. A naked bike at 130 km\/h beats any helmet ever made, and a badly sized screen beats a good one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen something wears out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is the part that decides how long a helmet lasts you, and the part riders most often misdiagnose. Liner foam compresses and breaks down chemically from sweat; as it does, the fit loosens and the helmet starts to move on the head. The natural conclusion is that the helmet is finished. Usually the shell is untouched and a sixty-euro liner restores it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLS2 FF902 Scope II helmet — Solid Nardo Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePinlock® 70 MaxVision™ anti-fog insert (DKS260)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eModel\u003c\/em\u003e — LS2 FF902 Scope II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart number\u003c\/em\u003e — 569021006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eColour\u003c\/em\u003e — Solid Nardo Grey — Gloss Nardo grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHomologation\u003c\/em\u003e — ECE 22.06, dual P\/J (protective and jet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHelmet type\u003c\/em\u003e — Flip-up \/ modular, chin bar raising 90° with a redesigned locking system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eShell\u003c\/em\u003e — HPTT thermoplastic, three shell sizes (XS–S \/ M–L \/ XL–3XL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWeight\u003c\/em\u003e — 1750 g (±50 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSizes\u003c\/em\u003e — XS to 3XL (seven sizes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eVisor\u003c\/em\u003e — scratch-resistant, UV-stable, quick-release system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAnti-fog\u003c\/em\u003e — Pinlock® 70 MaxVision™ (DKS260) supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSun visor\u003c\/em\u003e — integrated, tinted, drop-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eImpact liner\u003c\/em\u003e — multi-density EPS with moulded ventilation channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eRetention\u003c\/em\u003e — micrometric ratchet buckle, reinforced chin strap, emergency release system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eVentilation\u003c\/em\u003e — chin intake, front intake, rear exhaust port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLiner\u003c\/em\u003e — COOLMAX®, laser-cut foam, hypoallergenic, removable and washable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eIntercom\u003c\/em\u003e — prepared for the current LS2 Bluetooth system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LS2","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ Solid – Gloss Nardo Grey","offer_id":53597180559626,"sku":"569021006_XS","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Solid – Gloss Nardo Grey","offer_id":53597180592394,"sku":"569021006_S","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Solid – Gloss Nardo Grey","offer_id":53597180625162,"sku":"569021006_M","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Solid – Gloss Nardo Grey","offer_id":53597180657930,"sku":"569021006_L","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Solid – Gloss Nardo Grey","offer_id":53597180690698,"sku":"569021006_XL","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Solid – Gloss Nardo Grey","offer_id":53597180723466,"sku":"569021006_XXL","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXXL \/ Solid – Gloss Nardo Grey","offer_id":53597180756234,"sku":"569021006_XXXL","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/569021006_01.png?v=1788177856","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-pa\/products\/ls2-ff902-scope-ii-solid-nardo-grey-helmet","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
