FAQs
What safety standard does this helmet meet?
The Oxford Altius is certified to CE EN1078 safety standards.
Can I remove the peak?
Yes, the three-position peak is designed to be adjusted or removed depending on your preference.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The helmet should sit level on your head and remain stable even if you shake your head gently with the straps unbuckled.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is recommended to replace the helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if there is no visible damage.
Is the helmet suitable for e-bike use?
While the helmet is certified for general cycling (EN1078), check your local regulations regarding speed-pedelec or e-bike specific helmet requirements.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened
Check if the internal padding has compressed or if the rear cradle position needs to be adjusted. Ensure the straps are balanced on both sides.
Dial-fit system is stuck or difficult to turn
Check for debris or dirt caught in the mechanism. Gently clean the area with a dry brush or compressed air.

Cons
- Heavier than ultra-lightweight racing helmets

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, loosen the rear dial completely, place the helmet on your head, and tighten the dial until a snug but comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the straps are adjusted so the 'Y' junction sits just below the ears.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the shell using only mild soap and water.
- Do not use harsh solvents, paints, or stickers as these can weaken the structural integrity of the polycarbonate.
- Remove and hand-wash internal pads in cool water and allow them to air dry.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
