[FEATURE]
LS2 has developed a new touring full-face helmet [CHALLENGER F] as a global strategic model of full-face helmets.
This model is designed to be easy to use and has excellent design such as the inner visor which drops deeply and a wide shield which suppresses wind noise.
The head circumference of CHALLENGER F is relatively close to the Japanese skull.
[SHELL]
The cap is made of LS2's own high-performance glass fiber "HPFC "*.HPFC is a lightweight material with high durability and shock absorption.
The design of the cap has a flowing three-dimensional press line, rectifying spoilers on the sides and rear, and many other features that incorporate the intentions of the Spanish design studio.
*HPFC...High Performance Fiberglass Composite
(Unique high performance lightweight fiberglass is used for efficient impact dispersion)
Reference size: Head circumference is standard.When new, the cheek circumference is slightly narrower, but as it acclimates, the interior expands to the left and right.
[SHIELD INNER VISOR]
The shield has 94% UV protection.
It prevents the distortion of the field of view to the maximum extent and ensures the clarity of the field of view.
Abrasion-resistant shield has a wide area and ensures excellent peripheral vision.
Easy-to-operate center-locking shield provides excellent sealing.
In addition, the shield can be removed by lever operation, and it can be installed easily by simply aligning the position and setting it in.
The inner visor can be opened and closed smoothly by the slide switch on the edge of the cap.
It has 94% UV protection as well as the shield, and it is useful for riding in the strong sunshine.
Compatible with Pinlock sheets (1 sheet included), which are effective in reducing fogging.
[COMFORT]
The interior is removable and washable, and can be kept clean and comfortable.
The cheek pad integrated with the neck pad was developed using 3D laser cutting technology, forming a multi-density foam and realizing a high fit to the curve of the face.
Glasses System (2 bands) is attached to make it easy to put on glasses after putting the helmet on and the interior is made of moisture absorbent and hypoallergenic fabric to keep humidity inside the helmet comfortable during riding.
Combined with a highly breathable construction, it provides a comfortable riding environment.
In addition, the adoption of a removable chin curtain reduces wind entrainment and improves comfort.
[SECURITY]
It is a very important mission of a helmet to be able to fit properly in order to realize safety.
In order to minimize the effects of impact on the head, the shape of the cap and the materials used have undergone repeated testing.
The CHALLENGER F's neck strap features a convenient and strong steel quick-release buckle.
[VENTILATION]
The CHALLENGER F is equipped with intake ports for outside air at the front and top of the chin and head, and a rear spoiler & exhaust port at the back of the head.
Each of the main ports has a switch for aperture adjustment.
[SAFETY]
For safe use (safety recommendations)
No helmet can always protect the user from all types of collisions.
However, to ensure maximum head protection, a properly fitted helmet must be worn without fail.
To do so, the correct size helmet must be used and the chinstrap must be securely fastened.
A properly worn helmet does not impair peripheral vision.
If the helmet is too large, it may shift during the ride, obstructing vision and causing an accident.
Helmets that are too large may come off and fail to protect the head in the event of an accident, resulting in serious injury or death.
The helmet used should always fit well over the entire head and the chinstrap should be securely fastened under the chin.
Pull on the chinstrap to widen the opening of the helmet and slip your head into the helmet.
For the chinstrap, pull only on the strap itself and not the cover (because the cover may come off).
If the helmet is unstable and wobbles, the helmet is too large.
In order to tighten the chinstrap securely with the D-ring, be sure to tighten it so that it is tight against the chin.
For quick-release buckles, see the preceding item.
If the chinstrap is loose, the shock of a collision can cause the helmet to come off, leaving the head completely unprotected and potentially resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Helmets are designed to absorb only one impact.
If the helmet is impacted, replace it with a new helmet.
Helmets are designed to disperse the impact of a collision over a wide area.
If a helmet is subjected to even a single impact during a ride, such as a fall or accident, it loses its protective function even if it does not appear to be damaged on the outside.
Once impacted, the helmet's impact-absorbing liner compresses as it absorbs energy and loses its ability to absorb further impact.
Helmets may look the same, but they do not provide protection thereafter.
If you are unsure if this applies to your helmet, such as if it was dropped or hit by something, please consult your LS2 dealer before using that helmet again.
Never modify the helmet.
Cutting or puncturing the cap or shock absorbing liner is extremely dangerous.
Such modifications can severely compromise the strength of the helmet and could injure you in the event of an accident by causing breakage due to impact, detachment of parts such as the mouth guard, or exposure of the trim edges.
When replacing shields, screws and all other parts, be sure to use stock LS2 parts.
Helmets with reduced strength due to these processes do not have the correct protective capacity.
Helmets should be handled properly.
Never ride with the helmet hanging from the helmet holder.
Do not hang it on an inclined object such as a mirror.
Do not sit on the helmet or swing the helmet around.
Do not expose the helmet to strong sunlight or heaters or to temperatures above 50°C (122°F).
Avoid using insect repellent chemicals (such as naphthalene) near helmets.
Mishandling of the helmet can damage the cap and shock-absorbing liner, reducing its ability to protect you from an accident.
Always check your helmet before riding.
1. Check the shielding screws and retighten if necessary.
2. Check the helmet for cracks or damage.
Strong acids (such as diluted sulfuric acid for batteries) may damage helmets.
You should discontinue use immediately of any helmet that is damaged.
Plastic parts may begin to wear out approximately 3 years after manufacture due to age-related deterioration.
If any part is found to be deteriorated, replace that part or use a new helmet.
If a component comes loose or falls off during the ride, it could obstruct vision and cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death.
4. Check the safety of the helmet fastening function (chinstrap).
5. Before using the helmet, make sure the center pad (removable liner) and cheek pads are installed.
Maintain helmet shield in good condition.
If the shield has more scratches or does not clean up, replace it with a new shield.
Clean the shield with a well-diluted neutral detergent, rinse thoroughly with fresh water, and wipe with a soft, clean cloth.
Never use benzene, gasoline, glass cleaner or other solvents.
Do not use adhesive tape or sticky tape as they may weaken the hard coating and damage the shield.
Do not use a helmet if the vision through the shield is blurred or not clear.
Poor visibility can cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not repaint the helmet.
Repainting of the helmet is not recommended as the paint and thinner may degrade the helmet material.
A helmet degraded by solvents will not protect the head in the event of an accident and could result in serious personal injury or death.
If the helmet must be painted, consult the dealer.
Please note at all times that helmets block important audible information about changes in your environment.
Wearing a helmet (especially a full-face type) causes a degree of isolation from the surrounding environment.
It can also be affected suddenly by weather fluctuations.
Changes in temperature and air pressure as you enter and exit tunnels and climb and descend mountain roads, as well as weather conditions such as sudden showers, can cause sudden fogging of shields and poor visibility.
Never ride with the shield fogged up.
Helmets also make it difficult to hear traffic audio information, especially high pitched sounds.
Especially in full-face helmets, the audible volume varies greatly depending on the opening and closing of the shield.
For safe riding, always be aware of the effects of helmet type and riding speed on your understanding of your surroundings, and whether the shield is in the open or closed position.
