FAQs

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure your head circumference and refer to the size guide in the product description. Ensure the helmet fits snugly without excessive pressure.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Replace the helmet after any significant impact or every three years, even if it appears undamaged.

Can I use this helmet for other sports?

This helmet is designed specifically for cycling. Using it for other sports may not provide adequate protection.

How do I clean my helmet?

Use a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

What is MIPS?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts.

How do I adjust the Headset SX fit system?

Turn the dial located at the back of the helmet to tighten or loosen the fit. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head and is secure.

What should I do if my helmet is involved in a crash?

Replace your helmet immediately, even if it appears undamaged. The impact may have compromised its protective capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose or unstable.

Adjust the Headset SX fit system and ensure the chin straps are properly fitted.

Straps are twisted or uncomfortable.

Adjust the strap sliders to ensure the straps lie flat against your face and neck.

Ventilation feels inadequate.

Ensure the vents are not blocked by hair or accessories. Consider adjusting your riding speed and position to maximize airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • MIPS technology significantly reduces the risk of brain injury during impacts.
  • The Headset SX fit system allows for easy and precise adjustments for a comfortable fit.
  • Excellent ventilation keeps the head cool during rides.
  • Reflective decals enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

Cons

  • Proper fit is crucial for the helmet to function effectively.
  • May feel slightly heavier compared to helmets without MIPS.
  • May not suit all head shapes perfectly despite size options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Sizing: Measure your head circumference to select the appropriate helmet size (S/M, M/L, or XL). Consult the size guide in the product description.
  2. Fit Adjustment: Use the Headset SX dial to fine-tune the fit. The helmet should sit level on your head, with the front edge about an inch above your eyebrows.
  3. Strap Adjustment: Ensure the straps form a 'V' shape under your ears and the chin strap is snug but comfortable.

Compatibility

The helmet is designed for use with a variety of cycling disciplines.

Care

  • Clean the helmet with a mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Do not store the helmet in extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
  • Replace the helmet after any significant impact or every three years, even if it appears undamaged.
