{"product_id":"ls2-ff820-rapid-iii-solid-matt-titanium-helmet","title":"LS2 FF820 Rapid III Helmet – Solid Matt Titanium","description":"\u003cp\u003eMatt titanium is the grey that sits between silver and gunmetal — dark enough to stay clean-looking, light enough that it never reads as black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1350 grams, and why that is the headline\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scales say 1350 g (±50), taken on a mid-size shell with nothing added to it. Weight is the specification riders under-rate at the counter and over-rate after a long day — a helmet is a mass on the end of a lever, and the lever is your neck. Wind load at motorway speed compounds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaced against the rest of our LS2 range, the FF805 Thunder is the only lighter option, at a considerably higher price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range spans XXS to 3XL across 3 shells. That split is what keeps proportion sane — a small size sits close to the head instead of ballooning, and a large one is not wrapped around a shell that was never sized for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Solid Matt Titanium finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flat metallic grey with no graphic. It hides road film far better than white and looks considerably less severe than matt black, which makes it the easiest colour here to put on a bike you already own. Matt finishes scatter light instead of reflecting it, so fine scratches and swirl marks stay invisible — the trade-off is that matt paint wants a matt-safe cleaner, never polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAir in at the chin and the crown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVentilation runs front-to-back through the shell rather than just over it. Air enters at chin and crown, travels through channels cut into the EPS liner, and leaves through the rear extractors — a pressure difference the helmet creates for itself as you ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSeeing out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visor is scratch-resistant, UV-stable and cut wide, sealed against the shell by a double-injection gasket — two materials moulded together so the soft sealing lip is part of the visor rather than glued to it. The quick-release mechanism swaps it without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screen takes a Pinlock 70 MaxVision anti-fog insert, the wide version that reaches the edges of the aperture instead of leaving a visible frame in your vision. To be plain about it: the insert is not in the box. Part DKS521.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the ECE 22.06 plaque actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eECE 22.06 is not a relabelled 22.05. The old standard hit five marked points on the shell and recorded straight-line deceleration. The current one hits up to eighteen, at multiple speeds, and adds an oblique impact against a slanted, sandpaper-faced anvil — a test designed to measure rotation rather than compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRotation is the injury mechanism European regulation ignored for decades: a glancing blow that twists the head does more damage to the brain than the same energy delivered straight on. 22.06 puts a hard ceiling on it. The visor and any fitted accessory go through the process too, which is why a drop-down sun visor cannot simply be added after approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHolding on\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRatchet buckle, reinforced webbing, metal certification plaque. Worth saying out loud: a correctly tightened strap does more for you than any shell material. A helmet that comes off during a crash protects nobody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe bit you actually touch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liner is hypoallergenic, antibacterial, breathable, and lifts out completely for washing. LS2 call it their maximum-comfort interior; in practice that means more crown padding than an entry-level helmet usually carries. A chin curtain is fitted as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWind noise is the specification manufacturers never quote, because it depends more on your bike than on their helmet. What the helmet controls is the seal at the neck roll, the gap under the chin bar and the vents. A chin curtain is fitted as standard, and it is the single most effective piece of quiet in the box — provided it stays in the helmet after you clean it. The Rapid III is a compact, plainly shaped shell with no sun-visor housing bulking out the sides, which helps — but it is a 99-euro helmet and it does not pretend to be a quiet one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it does not control is the airflow leaving your screen. If a helmet is loud on one motorcycle and quiet on another, the screen is usually the reason. Plugs cost a euro and do more than any shell shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is, and what it is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe clear about what this is. The Rapid III has no internal sun visor, so a tinted or iridium screen is how you deal with a low sun, and the Pinlock insert is a separate purchase. Everything else is above what the price suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in our LS2 range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight LS2 full-face models are listed here, and they form a clear ladder rather than a wall of choices. The Rapid III is the bottom rung and the lightest of the lot bar one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShell\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSun visor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePinlock\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRRP\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"is-this\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFF820 Rapid III\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHPTT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1350 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eprepared\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom 99 €\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFF808 Stream II\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKPA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1550 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eprepared\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom 129 €\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFF818 Storm III\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKPA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1600 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eincluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom 199 €\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFF811 Vector II\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHPFC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1500 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eincluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom 259 €\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen something wears out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing before you buy rather than after: everything on this helmet that wears out can be replaced individually.
