Subic in gloss red and white is the most graphic-forward Dragon of the eight — the version that reads as a designed helmet from across a car park rather than as a carbon shell with a pattern on it.

A full 6K carbon shell at about 1450 grams

🔵 The number that matters over a long day is not the headline weight but where it sits. A carbon monocoque puts less mass high on the shell than a composite of the same strength, so the helmet resists being pushed around by turbulence and side wind rather than simply weighing less.

Roughly 1450 g, three shell sizes, multi-density EPS underneath.

SHARP 4 stars — and what that rating rests on

The Dragon is homologated to ECE 22.06 and independently rated at 4 stars by SHARP. Both matter, and they answer different questions — the first whether it may be sold, the second how it compared when crashed.

🔵 SHARP's listing carries no FF807 code, so the match is made on published characteristics: 1.45 kg, carbon, double D-ring, full face, tested August 2025.

Road, not race: no FIM homologation

Approvals, plainly: ECE 22.06 yes, FIM no. The Dragon is homologated for road use throughout Europe and is not eligible for FIM-sanctioned racing.

🔵 LS2 does make an FIM helmet — the FF805 Thunder GP Pro FIM — and it is a different helmet with a different purpose, not a more expensive Dragon.

About the Subic red and white graphic

The white in this combination does more than break up the red. It lifts the overall value of the helmet several steps, which is the property that decides how quickly a driver at a junction resolves you against dark tarmac — the red alone sits mid-scale, the white pulls the whole thing upwards. That makes this the second most conspicuous finish in the range after the hi-vis version, and considerably more so than any of the carbon-dominant options. It is also the pairing with the longest history in road racing, which is why it still looks correct on a sport-touring shell forty years after it stopped being a technical choice. 🔵 Two practical points. White shows road film and fly strike more clearly than any other colour here, so expect to wash it more often. And gloss needs washing wet and drying with a soft cloth — a dry wipe is what puts fine swirls into a clearcoat.

The Twin Visor System

🔵 A practical detail on the drop-down mechanism: because it lives between the shell and the EPS, the slider position and the visor's lower edge are fixed by design. If you wear glasses, check the shield clears your frames when you try the helmet on — that is a fit question, not a fault.

The main visor itself is quick-release and locks with a button catch.

Pinlock 120 and a second visor, both in the box

🔵 Two inclusions and one limitation. The Pinlock 120 MaxVision and the tinted spare visor both come as standard, which is unusual at this price. The limitation is that the tinted one is legal in daylight only across most of Europe.

The internal sun shield covers the changing-light case that a tinted visor cannot.

Ventilation — documented, not measured

🔵 Ventilation is the one specification on this page we deliberately leave unrated. Every other claim here is either LS2's documented specification or an independent measurement; airflow is neither, because nobody has measured it.

What is documented: carbon chin and crown intakes, ventilation channels in the EPS, a carbon rear exhaust, and a breath deflector for fog.

Double D-ring and the Emergency Release System

🔵 The Emergency Release System is not a marketing feature. Removing a full-face helmet from an unconscious rider is the moment most likely to move a damaged neck; pulling the cheek pads first removes most of the interference before the shell moves at all.

Retention is a double D-ring on a reinforced strap.

X-Static lining, head shape and comfort

🔵 Fit decides more about how a helmet performs than any specification on this page, and it is the one thing a description cannot settle. Try it on, keep it on for ten minutes and notice where it presses.

LS2 specifies the Dragon as an Intermediate Oval; the independent test describes the fit as enveloping with a close neck roll.

Where it sits in LS2's range

🔵 LS2's range splits cleanly: composite shells for the volume models, carbon for the Dragon and the Thunder. The Dragon is the touring-biased carbon, with the internal sun visor and the more generous box.

All eight versions here share one shell specification and one set of approvals.

When something wears out

🔵 Store it somewhere dark and dry. UV degrades lacquer, heat degrades EPS, and a helmet left on a rear parcel shelf through a summer ages several years in one.

Replacement visors, Pinlock inserts, cheek pads, linings, carbon vent caps and breath deflectors are all listed separately.

In the box

• LS2 FF807 Dragon helmet — Subic (6K carbon monocoque)
• Clear main visor, fitted, with button lock and tool-free quick release
• Pinlock® 120 MaxVision™ anti-fog insert
• A complete second visor in a tint — 🔵 daylight use only in most European jurisdictions
• Breath deflector, fitted
• Integrated drop-down sun visor, fitted
• Reflective safety patch
• 🔵 No intercom — the helmet is prepared for the current LS2 Bluetooth system; the system itself is a separate purchase

Size guide

🔵 The most common sizing mistake is buying for comfort in the first minute rather than for fit over a season. A helmet that slips on easily and feels pleasant immediately is usually one size too large.

The Dragon covers 2XS to 3XL on three shells; the lining and cheek pads are replaceable if the fit changes with wear.

Specification

• Part number — 168075402
• Colour — Subic — Gloss red and white over carbon
• Homologation — ECE 22.06
• 🟢 Safety rating — SHARP 4 stars of 5, tested August 2025. 🔵 SHARP's entry reads „LS2 Dragon GP Carbon" with no FF807 code; weight (1.45 kg), carbon shell, double D-ring and body style all match exactly, and LS2 makes only one Dragon
• 🔴 FIM homologation — none — a road helmet, not eligible for FIM-sanctioned competition. LS2's FIM helmet is the FF805 Thunder GP Pro FIM
• Shell — 6K carbon monocoque — carbon throughout, not a carbon layer over composite; three shell sizes (2XS–S / M–L / XL–3XL)
• Impact liner — multi-density EPS with moulded ventilation channels
• Weight — approx. 1450 g (±50 g), middle shell; measured independently at about 1280 g (smallest shell) and 1500 g (largest)
• Sizes — 2XS to 3XL (eight sizes)
• Head shape — Intermediate Oval per LS2; the independent road test calls the fit enveloping, with a close neck roll
• Optics — Twin Visor System — main visor plus fully retracting sun visor; scratch- and UV-treated, button lock, tool-free release
• Anti-fog — Pinlock® 120 MaxVision™ insert included, plus a fitted breath deflector
• 🔴 Second visor — a complete tinted visor is included — daylight only: most European jurisdictions bar tinted visors at night and in poor visibility
• Ventilation — carbon-capped chin and crown intakes, EPS channels, carbon rear exhaust. 🔵 Deliberately left unrated — no independent test measures this helmet's airflow; LS2's description is a feature list, not a result
• Retention — double D-ring on a reinforced strap
• Emergency access — Emergency Release System — pull tabs let responders withdraw the cheek pads before the helmet moves
• Interior — X-Static® silver antibacterial fabric, laser-cut, fully removable and washable

• Serviceability — visors (clear and tinted), Pinlock insert, cheek pads in several thicknesses, lining, carbon vent caps and breath deflector
