FAQs
How do I clean the helmet lining?
Remove the lining and wash it by hand with mild soap and water. Let it air dry completely before reinstalling.
What is MIPS technology?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is designed to reduce rotational forces to the brain during certain impacts.
Is the visor adjustable?
No, the visor is designed with a patented release system and is not adjustable. It detaches in the event of a significant impact.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The helmet should fit snugly without any pressure points. The cheek pads should touch your cheeks, and the helmet should not move around when you shake your head.
What is the warranty on the helmet?
Warranty information is not available in the provided product data. Consult the manufacturer for specifics.
How do I replace the cheek pads?
The cheek pads are easily removable and replaceable. Consult the user manual for detailed instructions on the removal and re-installation process. Replacement pads may be available for purchase.
Can I use this helmet for other types of riding?
While designed for downhill riding, the helmet can be used in other off-road scenarios where similar protection is required. However, it is optimized for the specific demands of downhill riding.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose.
Check the sizing chart and ensure you have the correct size. Consider using different thickness cheek pads for a closer fit.
Ventilation feels insufficient.
Ensure all vents are open and clear of debris. Check the chin vent and mouth vent for blockages. Make sure the head is in the proper position inside the helmet.
Visor detaches unexpectedly.
Check the visor release mechanism. Ensure it's properly installed and not damaged. Replace the visor or the release system if necessary.
