Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbly during rides
Adjust the rear Frequency Fit dial and try swapping to the thicker set of included pads for a tighter fit.
Difficulty putting the helmet on or taking it off
Loosen the chin strap completely before attempting to pull the helmet over your head to ensure the opening clears your ears.
Padding feels saturated with sweat
Remove the washable pads and clean them with mild soap; consider carrying a spare set if riding in extremely humid conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by using the provided extra padding to customize the internal space. Use the rear Frequency Fit dial to snug the helmet against your occipital bone until it sits firmly without being uncomfortable. Ensure the chin strap is tightened so that no more than two fingers fit between the strap and your chin. For care, wipe the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. The interior pads are typically removable; hand-wash them with gentle detergent and air dry to maintain their shape and hygiene. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the protective foam over time.
