FAQs

What is MIPS and why is it important?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It adds an extra layer of protection.

How do I clean my Abus AirBreaker 2.0 MIPS helmet?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Rinse gently with clean water and allow it to air dry completely. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Can I wear sunglasses with this helmet?

Yes, the helmet is designed with strategically placed vents that accommodate most cycling sunglasses, allowing for good airflow around the eyewear.

What is the Aero Blade™ feature?

The Aero Blade™ is an innovative element at the upper rear of the helmet designed to improve airflow and reduce aerodynamic drag without adding significant weight.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact or crash, as its protective qualities can degrade over time or be compromised by damage.

Is this helmet suitable for everyday commuting?

While it offers excellent protection, its design is optimized for racing performance. For everyday commuting, you might consider a helmet with features tailored more towards urban riding comfort and visibility.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the retention system dial at the back of the helmet. Ensure straps are properly positioned under the ears and the chin strap is fastened correctly.

Ventilation seems inadequate.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the vents. For optimal airflow, the helmet must be worn correctly on the head.

Chin strap is uncomfortable.

Re-adjust the strap length and the position of the Y-splitters below the ears. Ensure the buckle is fastened correctly below the chin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the helmet is correctly fitted using the adjustment dial at the rear. The straps should be adjusted so they form a 'V' shape under the ears, and the buckle should sit snugly below the chin.

Compatibility: The AirBreaker 2.0 MIPS is designed for road cycling. It is compatible with most cycling eyewear, with vents strategically placed to allow airflow around sunglasses.

Care: Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the helmet's materials. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Inspect the helmet regularly for any signs of damage, especially after a crash, and replace it if any compromise to its integrity is suspected.
