Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Altius MTB Cycle Helmet is an ideal choice for mountain bikers and trail riders seeking advanced impact protection without sacrificing comfort. Engineered with a durable two-piece polycarbonate shell and innovative Energy Reduction Technology (ERT), this helmet excels at mitigating both linear and rotational forces during accidents. While it offers excellent ventilation through 17 integrated air vents, users should note that the full-coverage design may feel slightly warmer on extremely humid summer days compared to ultra-minimalist road racing helmets.

FAQs

What safety standard does this helmet meet?

The Oxford Altius meets the CE EN1078 safety standard for pedal cyclists.

Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?

While designed for mountain biking, it is perfectly safe for road cycling, though it offers more coverage and a different aesthetic than dedicated aero road helmets.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

A correctly fitted helmet should sit level on your head, stay secure when you shake your head, and remain comfortable during extended periods of wear.

Can I replace the internal pads?

Yes, the internal padding is removable for cleaning and can be replaced if they wear out over time to maintain a comfortable fit.

What should I do if I have a crash?

If the helmet sustains a significant impact, replace it immediately, even if there is no visible damage, as the internal protective materials may have been compromised.

Troubleshooting

Dial-fit system feels loose or slips during a ride

Ensure the rear cradle is positioned at the base of the skull, not resting on the neck, and tighten the dial until a firm but comfortable resistance is felt.

Helmet wobbles or shifts while riding

Re-adjust the side strap Y-junctions to ensure they are set firmly below the ears and tighten the chin strap slightly to keep the helmet centered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, place the helmet level on your head and rotate the rear dial until the internal cradle snuggly grips the back of your head without pinching. Adjust the side straps so the Y-junction sits comfortably just below your ears, and ensure the chin strap is tightened to allow no more than two fingers of space between the strap and your jaw. To clean the helmet, use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents or chemicals, which can damage the integrity of the polycarbonate shell. Inspect the helmet regularly for any stress fractures or signs of impact damage, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
