FAQs
What does MIPS stand for and how does it work?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It's a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts, adding an extra layer of safety.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
The ABUS PowerDome MIPS is primarily designed for road, gravel, and leisure cycling. While it offers good protection, it may not provide the coverage or features required for more extreme mountain biking disciplines.
How do I clean the helmet?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Can the helmet be adjusted for different head sizes?
Yes, the Zoom Ace adjustment system with its rear dial allows for precise adjustment to fit different head circumferences.
Will this helmet fit someone with long hair or a ponytail?
Yes, the height-adjustable Zoom Ace system at the back of the helmet is specifically designed to create enough space for ponytails.
What is the 'PowerDome' feature?
The PowerDome is an air scoop integrated on the top of the helmet that works in conjunction with the ventilation channels to create a Venturi effect, enhancing airflow and cooling.
Are the FlowStraps adjustable?
Yes, the FlowStraps are designed to be snug and aerodynamic. They can be adjusted at the points where they meet the helmet structure and at the chin buckle for a secure and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly.
Tighten the Zoom Ace adjustment dial at the rear of the helmet. Ensure the FlowStraps are adjusted correctly under the chin and at the ears.
Straps are uncomfortable or pinch.
Readjust the FlowStraps to form a 'Y' below the ears. Ensure the buckle is centered and flat under the chin. Check that the helmet is sitting level on your head.
Head feels too hot even with vents.
Ensure the vents are not obstructed. For maximum airflow, make sure the helmet is positioned correctly on your head to take advantage of the Forced Air Cooling Technology.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
This helmet is designed for adult cyclists engaging in road, gravel, or leisure riding. The adjustment system is compatible with various head circumferences and is designed to accommodate ponytails.
