Product Information
Full details
The Kali Ave Urban City Cycle Helmet is designed for the modern commuter who prioritizes both safety and environmental sustainability. It excels by integrating advanced rotational impact protection with eco-friendly recycled materials, making it a standout choice for city riding. However, users should note that at 474g, it is slightly heavier than performance-oriented racing helmets, which may be a consideration for those sensitive to neck fatigue on very long rides.

FAQs
Is the Kali Ave suitable for mountain biking?
While the helmet offers excellent safety features, it is designed specifically for urban and city cycling, lacking the visor and increased rear coverage often associated with mountain bike helmets.
How do I charge the integrated light?
The light is USB-rechargeable. Simply locate the port on the rear light housing and connect it to a standard USB power source.
Can I replace the internal pads?
Yes, the bamboo pads are removable for washing or replacement if they become worn over time.
What is the weight of the helmet?
The Kali Ave weighs 474g.
Is this helmet impact certified?
Yes, the helmet meets EN 1078 safety standards.
What does Composite Fusion mean?
Composite Fusion is a process where the outer shell and the EPS foam liner are co-molded, resulting in a stronger bond and a more efficient impact distribution system.
Troubleshooting
Rear light does not turn on
Check the USB charging cable connection and ensure the battery is fully charged. Verify that the light is pressed firmly to activate.
Helmet feels loose or wobbly
Tighten the rear Dial Fit System. If the issue persists, adjust the side strap splitters to ensure the webbing sits securely against your jawline.
Padding feels saturated with sweat
Remove the bamboo pads and rinse them with cool water and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of rotational impact protection via LDL Quadcore
- Environmentally conscious manufacturing using recycled materials
- Included rechargeable rear light adds convenience and safety
- Comfortable fit for daily use with bamboo padding and dial system
Cons
- Heavier than traditional lightweight road helmets at 474g
- Urban-centric design may not appeal to aerodynamic-focused cyclists
- Requires periodic USB charging for the integrated rear light
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, always adjust the Dial Fit System until the helmet sits snugly without being tight; the helmet should not move when you shake your head. Ensure the chin straps lie flat against your cheeks, forming a 'V' shape just below your ears.
Compatibility: This helmet is certified under EN 1078 standards and is intended for adult cycling use.
Care Instructions:
- Shell Cleaning: Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the exterior.
- Padding: The bamboo padding can be removed and hand-washed; ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.
- Light Maintenance: Ensure the USB port cover is fully closed after charging to protect the KALight from moisture and debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as excessive UV exposure can degrade shell materials over time.
