LS2's most technologically advanced helmet is said to be the 396, available in three different versions.
The CR1 and CT2 versions have a carbon external shell, reinforced with special fiberglass and polymeric resins, while the FT2 has a fiberglass shell. The external shell, with its particularly aerodynamic shape, copes with every type of turbulence and is made in two different sizes with the bag moulding system.
The visor is anti-scratch and anti-UV. Moulded in polycarbonate Lexan, LS2 says there is no image distortion (3D optically correct) and it is also suitable for use with the internal Pinlock lens that comes with the helmet.
The CT2 and FT2 versions are equipped with TSS (Twin Shield System) that activates an internal sunshade screen through a lever positioned on the lower left of the helmet. Comfort inside the 396 is guaranteed by the "In&Out Air Control System", which has two adjustable upper air intake vents, one air intake vent in the centre of the chinguard, and a rear extractor.
The internal liners form the Advanced Air-go Perfext Fitting system that is said to guarantee a comfortable fit even over prolonged use.
The sponges are laser-cut foam, removable and washable and made from hypoallergenic, anti-odour, anti-bacterial and breathable fabrics. The strap has a double D-ring fastening, and a practical nose guard completes the range of standard features.
The helmet just weighs 1,350 gr in case of the CR1 and CT2 versions, while the FT2 has a total weight of 1,450 gr.
As with all LS2 helmets, the 396 is homologated in accordance with current legislation ECE 22-05 and available in sizes from XS to XXL.
The 396 CR1 has a carbon shell, equipped with a new type of open woven carbon. It is available in Carbon, Trix or Diablo versions, as well as the new Magneto version, with open woven carbon coated with an opaque transparent varnish.
The 396 CT2 is available in two versions, the Carbon and Carbon TT with graphics. The 396 FT2 with fiberglass shell comes in three colours and five graphic versions in a total of ten options.
