{"product_id":"ls2-ff807-dragon-carbon-matt-helmet","title":"LS2 FF807 Dragon Carbon Helmet – Matt Carbon","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome helmets need a graphic to look like something. The Dragon in plain matt carbon does not: what you see is the shell itself, the 6K weave running uninterrupted from the chin bar to the spoiler under a satin lacquer that kills reflections instead of chasing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA full 6K carbon shell at about 1450 grams\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dragon's shell is \u003cstrong\u003e6K carbon fibre throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e — a full monocoque, not a carbon skin laid over a composite structure.

The attribution rests on an exact match of weight, carbon shell, double D-ring and body style, and LS2 makes only one Dragon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRoad, not race: no FIM homologation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 \u003cstrong\u003eThe Dragon is not FIM homologated.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its approval is ECE 22.06 for road use, which is a different thing from the FIM Racing Homologation Programme that governs what may be worn in FIM-sanctioned competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need an FIM helmet, LS2's \u003cstrong\u003eFF805 Thunder GP Pro FIM\u003c\/strong\u003e is the one in this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the bare matt carbon finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the version where the structural material is the finish. No basecoat, no graphic, no clearcoat built up to a mirror — just the 6K weave with enough satin lacquer over it to seal the resin against UV. The weave is visibly regular because a monocoque is laid up rather than assembled, and on a helmet whose entire argument is that the shell is carbon all the way through, showing it is the honest choice. It is also the cheapest Dragon at 407 €, 17 € below the graphics, which makes it the version to buy if you are here for the construction rather than the paint. A practical note that matters on carbon specifically: satin lacquer is thin, and it is the only thing standing between UV and the resin matrix. 🔵 Wash it, never polish it — abrasive compound cuts straight through a satin coat and leaves a permanently glossy scar that cannot be blended out. Park it out of full sun when you reasonably can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Twin Visor System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTwin Visor System\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs the main screen with an internal sun visor that drops on a single slider and retracts completely into the shell. On a carbon helmet at this weight, having one at all is the unusual part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The main visor is treated against scratching and UV, locks shut with a button catch, and comes off its mechanism without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePinlock 120 and a second visor, both in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things ship in the box that most manufacturers charge for: a \u003cstrong\u003ePinlock® 120 MaxVision™\u003c\/strong\u003e anti-fog insert, and a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete second visor in a tint\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The tinted visor is a daylight accessory. In most European jurisdictions a tinted visor may not be used at night or in poor visibility — carry the clear one if the day might outlast the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation — documented, not measured\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVentilation runs through \u003cstrong\u003ecarbon-capped intakes at the chin and crown\u003c\/strong\u003e into channels formed in the EPS, and out through a carbon exhaust port at the rear. It is a through-flow design rather than a set of decorative scoops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 We are not rating it.
