Full details
The Smith Engage MIPS Helmet is designed for adult trail and mountain bike riders seeking a balance of high-impact protection and long-ride comfort. It utilizes Zonal KOROYD and Mips technology to mitigate crash forces while ensuring consistent airflow through a 21-vent system, though it does not offer the advanced ventilation adjustability found in more expensive, top-tier racing helmets.

FAQs
What is Zonal KOROYD?
It is a lightweight, energy-absorbing material integrated into specific impact zones of the helmet to provide enhanced protection during crashes.
Can I wear goggles with this helmet?
Yes, the two-position visor can be rotated upwards to accommodate goggles when you are not using them.
How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?
The helmet should sit level on your head, cover your forehead, and remain stable even when the chin strap is unbuckled (though it should always be buckled while riding).
What does the Mips system do?
The Mips Brain Protection System is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain during angled impacts.
Are the pads inside the helmet removable for washing?
Yes, the interior comfort liners are generally removable and should be hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
While it can be used for road cycling, it is specifically optimized for mountain biking with extra rear coverage and visor integration.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbly during rides
Adjust the rear dial fit system and ensure the side chin straps are tightened to create a secure, snug fit.
Eyewear fogging during heavy exertion
Ensure your eyewear is correctly seated in the front AirEvac channels to facilitate proper airflow across the lenses.
Visor feels loose
Check the mounting points on the side of the helmet to ensure the visor is properly clicked into one of the two intended positions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, adjust the rear retention dial until the helmet feels secure but comfortable on your head. The side straps should form a 'V' shape just below your ears with no slack.
For care, clean the helmet using only mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that can degrade the structural integrity of the shell. Periodically check the retention system and visor screws for tightness. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the protective foam liners.
