FAQs
What is the primary function of the Mips system?
Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is designed to reduce rotational forces that can be transmitted to the brain during certain angled impacts.
How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?
The helmet should sit level on your head, cover your forehead, and not move excessively when you shake your head while the chin strap is buckled.
Can I replace the internal padding?
Yes, the internal padding is removable and replaceable, which helps extend the lifespan of the helmet.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
While it offers excellent protection, it is optimized for road cycling and lacks the specific visor and extended rear coverage found on dedicated mountain bike helmets.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately if it has been involved in a significant impact.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened
Adjust the vertical position of the Roc Loc 5 system at the rear of the helmet and ensure the side straps are cinched evenly.
Padding has developed an odor
Remove the padding and hand wash with a mild detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, loosen the Roc Loc 5 dial before placing it on your head. Once positioned, turn the dial until you achieve a snug, secure fit that doesn't cause pressure points. Ensure the side straps meet just below your ears to prevent shifting. For care, gently hand wash the Ionic+ pads with mild soap and water, allowing them to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents on the polycarbonate shell, as these can compromise the structural integrity of the In-Mold construction. Periodically inspect the webbing and buckle for any signs of wear or fraying.
