FAQs

What does Mips technology do?

Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

While the Mips technology offers enhanced protection, this specific model is designed with aerodynamics for road cycling. For mountain biking, a helmet with more coverage and ventilation might be more appropriate.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

The helmet should sit level on your head, about two finger-widths above your eyebrows. It should feel snug without being uncomfortable, and it shouldn't move excessively when you shake your head.

Can I wash the helmet?

You can clean the helmet with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. The pads may be removable for gentle hand washing, check the product manual for specifics.

What is the warranty on this helmet?

Please refer to the Trek warranty information for specific details regarding this product's coverage. Generally, Trek offers a warranty against manufacturing defects.

How do I adjust the fit system?

Use the dial located on the rear retention system to tighten or loosen the helmet for a secure fit. Ensure the straps are also adjusted properly to create a 'Y' shape under your ears.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the retention dial at the back of the helmet. If it remains uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size and check if any padding needs to be repositioned.

Straps are uncomfortable

Readjust the slider below the ear and ensure the buckle is fastened correctly. The straps should form a 'Y' shape under the ears.

Mips liner feels loose

The Mips liner is designed to move independently to absorb rotational forces. Minor movement is normal. Ensure the overall helmet fit is secure.
