FAQs
What is MIPS and why is it important?
MIPS stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System. It is a specialized layer inside the helmet designed to redirect rotational forces, which can reduce the severity of head injuries during certain impacts.
Is this helmet CPSC certified?
Yes, this helmet is fully CPSC certified, meeting safety standards for cycling.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is recommended to replace any helmet that has been involved in a significant impact, even if there is no visible damage, as the internal foam structure may have been compromised.
Can I wear this for mountain biking?
While it can be worn for casual riding, it is specifically engineered for road cycling aerodynamics and may not offer the extended rear-head coverage typically found in dedicated mountain biking helmets.
Are the pads machine washable?
Hand washing the pads with mild soap is recommended to preserve the material's elasticity and shape.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels unstable or shifts during riding
Re-adjust the rear dial for a tighter fit and ensure the side straps are correctly positioned to form a secure 'V' shape under the ears.
Head feels overheated despite ventilation
Check that the ventilation channels are free from debris or obstruction; ensure you are riding in a forward-leaning posture to optimize airflow.
Padding has absorbed sweat and causes odor
Remove the inner padding pads and hand wash them with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, first loosen the rear dial completely, place the helmet on your head, and then rotate the dial until it is snug but comfortable. The straps should form a 'V' shape around your ears with no slack. For care, wipe the outer shell with a soft cloth and mild soap. The inner padding is removable; wash it by hand in cold water and allow it to air dry fully before reinserting it into the helmet. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the structural integrity of the shell. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
