FAQs
What sizes is the Oxford Raven Road Helmet available in?
The helmet is available in two sizes: S/M (54-58cm) and L/XL (58-61cm).
How do I measure my head to find the right size?
Use a flexible measuring tape to measure the circumference of your head about one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of your head. Compare this measurement to the helmet's size guide.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
The Oxford Raven Road Helmet is primarily designed for road cycling, commuting, and fitness riding due to its aerodynamic features and ventilation. It may not offer the same level of coverage or protection required for more extreme off-road cycling.
How should I clean the helmet?
Clean the helmet with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using solvents or harsh detergents.
What is the weight of the helmet?
The helmet weighs approximately 250 grams for the S/M size and 265 grams for the L/XL size.
Does the helmet meet safety standards?
Yes, the Oxford Raven Road Helmet conforms to the CE EN1078 safety standard.
Can I attach lights to this helmet?
While the helmet has reflective detailing for visibility, it does not have integrated mounting points for lights. You may be able to use strap-on accessories if they are compatible and do not compromise the helmet's fit or structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose after adjustment
Ensure the dial at the rear is tightened as much as possible. Check that the straps are adjusted correctly under your ears and fastened securely at the chin.
Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points
Loosen the rear dial. Adjust the position of the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits evenly. Try re-adjusting the straps to relieve pressure.
Chin strap is uncomfortable
Adjust the sliders on the straps to form a 'V' shape below your ears. Ensure the buckle is fastened correctly and not digging into your skin.
Reflective detailing appears faded
The reflective detailing is a surface treatment and may naturally wear over time with extensive use and cleaning. Its primary function is visibility and should be checked periodically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your helmet, first ensure it is the correct size. Loosen the dial on the rear fit system to its maximum setting. Place the helmet on your head and tighten the dial until it feels snug but not uncomfortable. Adjust the straps so they form a 'V' shape just below your earlobes, and fasten the chin buckle securely. The helmet should not move excessively when you shake your head.
Compatibility: This helmet is designed for adult cyclists and conforms to CE EN1078 safety standards. It is suitable for road cycling, commuting, and fitness riding.
Care: Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's shell and protective lining. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Do not store near heat sources.
