FAQs

Is this helmet suitable for non-eBike riders?

Yes, while certified for eBikes (NTA 8776), its advanced safety features and design make it an excellent choice for any urban cyclist seeking enhanced protection.

How long does the LED light battery last?

The battery life varies by mode, lasting up to 8 hours. It fully charges in about one hour via USB-C.

Can I remove the integrated visor?

The visor is integrated into the helmet's design and is not intended to be removed.

What is the difference between NTA 8776 and standard helmet certifications?

NTA 8776 is a higher safety standard developed specifically for eBike riders, requiring helmets to withstand higher impact speeds and offer more coverage than traditional standards like EN 1078.

How do I clean the helmet and its components?

The helmet shell and visor can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. The comfort pads are hand washable. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What sizes are available for the MET Intercity Mips?

The helmet is available in three sizes: Small (52-56cm), Medium (56-58cm), and Large (58-61cm).

Does the MIPS system require any special maintenance?

No, the MIPS-C2® system is integrated into the helmet and requires no special maintenance. Its function is passive, designed to activate during an impact.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose

Adjust the MET Safe-T Heta fit system using the rear dial. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned below your ears and use the adjustable dividers for a personalized fit.

Fidlock® buckle is difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the two parts of the buckle are aligned correctly. Clean any dirt or debris from the magnetic surfaces. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

LED light is not charging or turning on

Check the USB-C cable connection to both the light and the power source. Ensure the power source is functional. Clean the USB-C port on the light. If problems continue, the light's battery may need service.

Visor fogs up

Ensure the helmet has adequate ventilation. Adjusting the visor slightly or using an anti-fog spray designed for helmets can help. Riding at higher speeds typically improves airflow.

Comfort pads are uncomfortable

Ensure the pads are correctly installed and hand-wash them if they feel stiff. If discomfort persists, consider if the helmet fit needs further adjustment.
