FAQs
What does Mips Integra mean for safety?
Mips Integra is an integrated rotational impact protection system that adds a layer of safety by reducing rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts.
How do I determine my helmet size?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows. Refer to the product specifications for size ranges (e.g., M: 54-59 cm).
Is this helmet suitable for competitive racing?
Yes, its aerodynamic design and light weight make it suitable for competitive road cycling where ventilation and reduced drag are important.
Can I wear a skullcap or thin beanie under this helmet in cold weather?
While the 360° adjustment system allows for some flexibility, wearing a thick hat may compromise the proper fit and safety of the helmet. A thin skullcap might be suitable, but always ensure the helmet fits securely.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any impact or if you notice any damage, even cosmetic.
What is the finish type of this helmet?
The finish type is matt.
Can this helmet be used for downhill mountain biking?
While designed for general mountain biking, this helmet offers excellent ventilation and protection. For extreme downhill or enduro riding with higher impact risks, a full-face helmet might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or unstable
Re-adjust the 360° size adjustment system for a tighter fit. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned and secured.
Straps are uncomfortable
Adjust the strap dividers to ensure they lie flat below your ears. Check that the chin strap is not buckled too tightly.
Poor airflow or overheating
Ensure ventilation ports are not obstructed by clothing or accessories. Verify the helmet is positioned correctly on your head.
Sunglass storage is not secure
Ensure sunglasses are inserted into the designated high-friction pads correctly. The fit may vary depending on sunglass frame design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Adjust the size using the 360° adjustment system at the rear of the helmet until it feels snug and secure without being too tight.
- Ensure the straps are positioned correctly, forming a 'Y' below your earlobes.
- Buckle the chin strap and adjust for a comfortable fit, allowing for one finger to slide between the strap and your chin.
Compatibility:
- This helmet is designed for adult cyclists and is suitable for various cycling disciplines including road cycling, mountain biking, and urban commuting.
- It is compatible with most standard cycling eyewear. The front pads are designed for secure sunglass storage.
Care:
- Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the helmet is completely dry before storing.
- Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid dropping or impacting the helmet, even if no damage is visible, as internal protective properties may be compromised.
