Product Information
Full details
The ABUS HUD-Y ACE is a premium urban cycling helmet designed for adult commuters who prioritize both style and high-visibility safety. Featuring an integrated rear light and a protective visor, it excels in diverse weather conditions, making it an ideal companion for daily city riding. While it offers robust protection through its multi-shell in-mould construction, users should note that the integrated light requires periodic recharging via micro-USB to ensure continued nighttime visibility.

FAQs
Can I replace the visor if it gets scratched?
The visor is designed as an integrated part of the HUD-Y ACE; contact an authorized ABUS dealer for information on official spare parts.
Is the rear light waterproof?
The light is designed for use in standard wind and weather conditions typical of urban commuting.
How do I charge the light?
Detach the magnetic light unit from the back of the helmet and connect it to a power source using a micro-USB cable.
Does this helmet accommodate different hairstyles?
Yes, the rear adjustment system is height-adjustable, specifically designed to create space for a ponytail.
What is the benefit of the Fidlock buckle?
The Fidlock magnetic buckle allows for quick, one-handed opening and closing, which is much faster and easier than traditional plastic clips.
Troubleshooting
Rear light will not turn on
Ensure the light is fully charged via the micro-USB port and verify the magnetic contact points are clean and free of debris.
Helmet feels loose even with adjustment
Ensure the rear height-adjustable cradle is positioned correctly on the back of your skull and that the straps are tensioned evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, first place it on your head and rotate the Zoom Ace Urban adjustment wheel at the back until it sits snugly but comfortably. Adjust the height of the cradle to ensure it sits above your ponytail if applicable. The Fidlock buckle clicks into place automatically using magnets, so simply bring the two sides close together. For the rear light, detach the magnetic unit, plug it into a standard micro-USB cable, and ensure it is fully charged before long night rides. To clean the helmet, use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the integrity of the EPS foam. Always inspect the helmet for signs of damage or wear after any impact.
