FAQs
How do I determine the correct helmet size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows. Consult the Alpinestars size chart to find the appropriate size for your measurement.
Can I replace the comfort liner?
Yes, the comfort liner is replaceable. You can purchase a replacement liner from Alpinestars or an authorized dealer.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any impact.
Is the visor adjustable?
Yes, the visor is adjustable to enhance vision and accommodate goggle storage.
How do I clean the helmet?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the shell. Remove and hand-wash the liner with mild soap and water. Air dry both components before reassembling.
Does the helmet come with a warranty?
Yes, Alpinestars products typically come with a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check the product documentation for specific warranty details.
Can I use this helmet for road cycling?
While the helmet can be used for road cycling, it is optimized for mountain biking. Consider a road-specific helmet for better aerodynamics and ventilation in that context.
What is MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces to the brain during an impact.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose.
Tighten the dial sizing system at the back of the helmet to achieve a snug fit.
Visor is difficult to adjust.
Apply gentle force to adjust the visor to the desired position. It may loosen with use.
Liner smells or feels damp.
Remove the liner and wash it with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.
Goggles do not fit properly.
Adjust the visor to create space for the goggles or try a different goggle strap configuration.
Helmet feels too hot.
Ensure proper ventilation by adjusting the vents. Consider wearing a lighter-weight cycling cap underneath.
