Is the LS2 FF811 Vector II Carbon 6K good for touring?

Yes. It has a sun visor, Pinlock anti-fog insert and a light carbon shell, which suit long days. Ventilation is modest, so very hot climates may want more airflow.

What head shape does it fit?

LS2 lists it as long oval, so it suits heads that are longer front to back than wide. Riders with round heads often find it tight at the sides.

Does it come with a Pinlock?

Yes, a Pinlock 120 MaxVision insert is included, and the visor is prepared for it.

Can I fit an intercom?

It is ready for the LS2 intercom made with Cardo and compatible with the LS2 Spectrum unit. The intercom itself is not included.

How does it compare with the standard Vector II?

The carbon version uses a carbon shell and is lighter than the composite version. Features like the twin visor, Pinlock and emergency release carry over.

What closure does it use?

It uses a micrometric metal ratchet buckle, which is quick to fasten and release.

Our take on the LS2 FF811 Vector II Carbon 6K Mono Full Face Helmet

The LS2 FF811 Vector II Carbon 6K is a sport-touring full-face helmet with a carbon fiber shell, a claimed weight of about 1300 g, and ECE 22.06 approval. It pairs a Pinlock 120 MaxVision-ready main visor with an integrated sun visor, and adds an emergency release system and X-Static removable liner. It suits riders who want a light carbon helmet for commuting and highway touring without paying flagship prices. Against mid-range polycarbonate helmets it is lighter and comes with Pinlock and a sun visor; against premium carbon lids it gives up some refinement in vent feel and finish.
