FAQs
What is the Mips® safety system?
Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain angled impacts to the head.
How do I determine the correct size helmet?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and compare it to the size ranges provided: S/M (51-58cm) and M/L (55-61cm).
Can the visor be used for muddy trail riding?
Yes, the removable visor can help shield your eyes from mud, rain, and debris on trail rides. It can be removed for cleaner road cycling.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately if it has been subjected to a significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent.
Are the internal pads washable?
Yes, the moisture-wicking pads are designed to be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
Is this helmet suitable for BMX riding?
This helmet is designed for general road and trail cycling. For more aggressive disciplines like BMX, a helmet specifically designed for those activities may be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly.
Adjust the Headmaster 3 fit system using the rear dial for a tighter fit. Ensure the straps are also adjusted correctly.
Straps are uncomfortable or irritating.
Readjust the fixed strap dividers so they lie flat against the face and under the ears. Ensure the buckle is fastened correctly.
Helmet feels too warm during rides.
Ensure the large vents are not blocked. The recessed channeling is designed for airflow; confirm it is unobstructed.
Visor is difficult to remove or attach.
Gently pull or push the visor at the designated attachment points. Refer to product diagrams if unsure.
