Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, always verify that the helmet fits correctly within the 52-56cm range. To set the fit:
- Place the helmet level on the head.
- Turn the rear dial until the helmet is snug but comfortable.
- Adjust the side straps so the Y-junction sits just below the ears.
- Secure the chin strap, ensuring there is only enough space for two fingers between the strap and the chin.
For care, wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents that could damage the structural integrity of the shell. Periodically inspect the LED light and replace batteries as specified to maintain full visibility features.
