FAQs
What is MIPS?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a technology designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain angled impacts.
Can I replace the internal pads?
Yes, the internal padding is removable and can be replaced if they wear out or to ensure hygiene.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
While it can be used for light trail riding, it is specifically designed for road cycling and lacks the rear-cradle coverage found on dedicated MTB helmets.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and refer to the Giro size chart; the helmet should feel secure without creating pressure points.
Should I replace the helmet after a crash?
Yes. Helmets are designed to absorb energy by partially destroying the structure. If you experience an impact, the helmet must be replaced regardless of whether it looks damaged.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels unstable or rocks on head
Adjust the rear retention dial to increase tension and ensure the brow pads are firmly in contact with your forehead.
Difficulty adjusting straps
Release the cam-lock buckles fully before adjusting the strap length, then pull the excess webbing through the buckle to secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the proper fit, loosen the rear tension dial before placing the helmet on your head. Level the helmet across your forehead and turn the dial until the fit is snug but comfortable. Ensure the chin strap forms a 'V' shape just below your ears.
For care, clean the exterior shell with a soft cloth and mild soapy water; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate finish. The interior pads are removable and machine washable on a delicate cycle. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as heat can compromise the integrity of the EPS foam liner.
