FAQs
Is the Oxford Urban 2.0 suitable for mountain biking?
While it is a multi-purpose helmet suitable for tracks and casual riding, it is primarily optimized for urban environments and lacks the extended rear coverage found on specialized mountain bike helmets.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The helmet should sit level on your forehead, and when the dial is tightened, it should not move significantly when you shake your head side-to-side.
Can I remove the padding to wash it?
Yes, the interior comfort padding can usually be removed for gentle hand washing. Always allow the pads to air dry completely.
Is the matt finish prone to scratching?
The soft-touch matt finish is durable, but like any helmet finish, it can be scratched by sharp objects or rough handling.
Does this helmet come with an integrated visor?
The Oxford Urban 2.0 features a streamlined, low-profile design that does not include an external visor.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels wobbly while riding
Re-adjust the rear dial to tighten the fit and ensure the side strap 'V' adjustment is positioned correctly beneath your ears.
Overheating during summer rides
Ensure that the front and rear vents are not obstructed by hair or cap accessories to allow for maximum airflow.
Strap buckle feels loose
Check the strap webbing for twists and ensure the locking mechanism is clicked firmly into place before every ride.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, place the helmet level on your head—not tilted back—and turn the rear dial until the cradle snugs against the base of your skull. Ensure the side straps form a 'V' shape just below your ears, and tighten the chin strap until you can fit only two fingers between the strap and your jaw. For care, clean the outer shell using a soft cloth with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the matt finish. The internal pads are generally removable for hand washing to maintain hygiene, but ensure they are completely air-dried before reinserting them into the helmet.
