FAQs

How do I activate the NFC Medical ID?

You need to download a compatible app on your smartphone, then follow the instructions to enter your medical and emergency contact information. Make sure to keep this information up-to-date.

Can I use the Kortal Race MIPS helmet for road cycling?

While the helmet is safe, it is specifically designed for mountain biking, featuring extended coverage and a design optimized for off-road riding. For road cycling, a helmet designed for that purpose may be more appropriate.

What is the lifespan of the helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any impact. The helmet's protective properties can degrade over time and with use.

How do I store the helmet properly?

Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or chemicals.

What is MIPS?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a technology that reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head, providing enhanced protection.

Is the helmet covered under warranty?

Yes, POC helmets typically come with a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Check the product documentation for specific warranty details.

Can I replace the peak?

Yes, the peak is replaceable. Contact POC or an authorized dealer for a replacement.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight.

Adjust the 360° fit system at the rear of the helmet to loosen the fit.

Goggles don't fit well with the helmet.

Ensure you are using goggles designed for MTB use. Adjust the goggle strap position and peak height for optimal fit.

Helmet feels too hot.

Ensure vents are clear and not blocked by the goggle strap. Consider the riding conditions and the need for appropriate ventilation.

NFC Medical ID not working.

Ensure the NFC tag is properly programmed with your medical information using a compatible app.
