FAQs
What is the Apex 7 helmet made of?
The Apex 7 features a lightweight in-mould construction, where the outer shell is fused with the impact-absorbing EPS foam liner.
How do I determine my helmet size?
Measure the circumference of your head about an inch above your eyebrows. The Apex 7 is available in size M (55-59cm) and L (59-63cm).
Can I wear a cap under this helmet?
While the helmet is designed for a snug fit, a very thin skullcap might fit. However, wearing anything underneath can affect the fit and potentially compromise safety. It's best to try it on with your intended headwear.
How do I clean the helmet pads?
The internal pads are typically removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them into the helmet.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Please refer to the manufacturer's official warranty information for the specific coverage period and terms.
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
The Apex 7 is specifically designed as an MTB (Mountain Bike) helmet. While it offers protection, its ventilation and visor design are optimized for off-road use. For dedicated road cycling, an MTB helmet might not offer the same aerodynamic efficiency or features.
Can the visor be removed?
Yes, the visor is adjustable and typically removable on most MTB helmets, including the Apex 7, allowing for customization based on riding conditions.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose even after adjusting the dial.
Ensure the internal retention system straps are correctly positioned against your head. Double-check your head circumference measurement against the size guide for the correct helmet size.
Fidlock buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the two halves of the buckle are aligned correctly. Clean any dirt or debris from the magnetic surfaces. The buckle is designed for one-handed use, but practice may be needed.
Visor obstructs vision on steep climbs.
Adjust the visor to its highest position. If obstruction persists, consider temporarily removing the visor for very steep ascents, as it's designed for general trail riding visibility.
Vents don't seem to provide enough airflow.
Ensure vents are not blocked by debris or hair. The effectiveness of ventilation can vary with ambient temperature and rider exertion level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Adjust the internal fit system using the dial at the rear for a snug, comfortable fit.
Position the helmet on your head so it sits level, not tilted back or forward.
Adjust the chin strap and clip the Fidlock magnetic buckle. Ensure the strap is snug but comfortable under the chin.
Use the adjustable visor for desired sun or debris protection.
Compatibility:
Designed for adult cyclists.
Available in two sizes: M (55-59cm) and L (59-63cm). Always measure your head circumference for the best fit.
Care:
Clean the helmet with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
Do not expose the helmet to extreme heat (e.g., leave it in a hot car), as this can degrade the EPS foam and reduce its protective qualities.
Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a helmet bag when not in use.
