  • Versatile design suitable for both gravel and road cycling
  • Ponytail-compatible adjustment system

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum safety, adjust the retention system while the helmet is on your head until it feels snug but comfortable. Use the dial at the back to fine-tune the tension, ensuring the ponytail opening is positioned correctly for your hair. The integrated LED light can be detached for USB-C charging; verify the magnetic connection is secure before every ride. To maintain the helmet, remove the internal pads periodically and wash them by hand with mild soap and water. Clean the outer shell with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh solvents that may compromise the integrity of the helmet's materials. Keep the USB port cover closed during wet conditions to maintain the IP44 waterproof rating.
