Full details
The Kali Chakra Solo is an ideal choice for cyclists seeking a blend of safety, style, and lightweight comfort. Built for everyday commuters and trail riders alike, it utilizes advanced Composite Fusion technology to provide superior impact protection in a slimmer profile. While it offers excellent ventilation and an adjustable fit, users should note that its specific design is optimized for recreational riding rather than high-speed professional racing.

FAQs
Is the Kali Chakra Solo certified for safety?
Yes, this helmet is EN 1078 certified for bicycle use.
Can I remove the visor?
Yes, the break-away visor can be removed if you prefer a sleeker look or better field of vision while road cycling.
How do I know if the helmet is the right size?
The helmet should sit level on your head and remain stable even when the chin strap is unbuckled. Use the Dial-Fit system to ensure there is no wobbling.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is recommended to replace the helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately following any significant impact, even if no visible damage exists.
What is Composite Fusion technology?
It is a manufacturing process that bonds the outer shell and the foam liner together, allowing for a thinner, lighter helmet that is still structurally strong.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even with the dial tightened
Ensure the rear retention cradle is positioned correctly on the occipital bone at the base of your skull and readjust the side chin straps.
Visor keeps detaching
Check that the visor mounting pegs are fully clicked into the slots. Note that the visor is designed to break away under pressure; if it detached during a ride, it may have snagged on an object.
Padding feels dirty or holds odor
Remove the interior pads and hand wash them in lukewarm water with mild soap, then air dry completely before reinserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen the rear dial completely. Place the helmet level on your head, ensuring it sits low on your forehead just above the eyebrows. Turn the dial until the cradle snugs comfortably against the back of your head without feeling tight. Adjust the side straps so that the 'Y' junction sits just below your ears, then tighten the chin strap until there is minimal slack. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the shell material. Periodically remove the interior pads and wash them with mild soap and water to maintain freshness. Always inspect the helmet for cracks or signs of wear after any significant impact.
