FAQs
Is the ABUS Skurb suitable for professional racing?
The Skurb is designed primarily for urban commuting and skating; for professional road racing, we recommend a more aerodynamic, specialized model.
Can I remove the adjustment system?
Yes, the adjustment system is designed to be removable if you prefer a different fit configuration.
Does this helmet accommodate long hair?
Absolutely. The helmet features a specialized height adjustment system that provides space specifically for braided hairstyles and plaits.
How do I clean the inner padding?
The internal padding can typically be removed for hand washing with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
What materials is the helmet made of?
It features a shock-absorbing rigid foam core protected by a tough, impact-resistant polycarbonate outer shell.

Ensure the adjustment wheel at the back is tightened sufficiently and check that the chin straps are correctly tensioned.
Adjustment wheel is difficult to turn
Check for debris or grit in the adjustment mechanism and gently clear any obstruction; do not force the wheel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ABUS Skurb provides the intended level of protection, proper setup is essential. Start by placing the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level across your forehead. Use the rear adjustment wheel to tighten the cradle until it is snug but comfortable against the back of your head. If you wear your hair in a plait or braid, utilize the height adjustment feature to position the cradle above or below your hair bundle to avoid pressure points. For care, wipe the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using chemical solvents or harsh detergents as they can compromise the integrity of the protective foam and shell materials.
