Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is MIPS technology?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is an internal slip-plane layer designed to reduce the rotational energy transmitted to the brain during an angled impact.
Is the rear light waterproof?
The light is designed for weather resistance suitable for daily commuting in rain, but it should not be submerged in water.
Can I replace the LED light unit?
The LED light is integrated into the helmet design. Please refer to your local dealer if you experience hardware failures.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above the eyebrows to ensure it matches the sizing chart provided by ABUS.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
While it is safe, it lacks the extended rear coverage and visor features typical of mountain bike-specific helmets.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is generally recommended to replace any helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately following any significant impact.
Troubleshooting
The rear LED light is not turning on.
Check the battery life of the unit and ensure the internal battery compartment is clean and free of moisture.
The helmet feels loose or wobbles during the ride.
Re-adjust the Zoom Ace Urban wheel to tighten the internal retention system and ensure the side strap V-dividers are positioned correctly beneath your ears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
