FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 2Vi technology?

The 2Vi technology platform combines MIPS Air, multi-density EPS foam, and a variable elasticity shell to provide enhanced protection against a wider range of impact forces, including both low- and high-speed crashes.

How does the STACC ventilation system work?

STACC (Stack Ventilation) uses carefully positioned intake and exhaust vents to create a direct airflow path across the forehead and over the head, effectively drawing heat away and preventing overheating.

Is this helmet suitable for activities other than road cycling?

While engineered for road cycling, its advanced protection and ventilation could offer benefits in other disciplines where head protection is paramount. However, its aerodynamic profile is optimized for road speeds.

How do I clean the helmet padding?

Many internal pads are removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Always allow them to air dry completely before reinserting them into the helmet.

What is the weight of the helmet?

The Sweet Protection Falconer 2Vi MIPS Helmet weighs approximately 285 grams, contributing to its lightweight and comfortable feel.

Can I wear a cycling cap under this helmet?

Due to the advanced fit system and aerodynamic design, wearing a cycling cap underneath may affect the fit and effectiveness of the helmet. It is generally recommended to wear the helmet directly on your head for optimal performance and safety.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent. Materials degrade over time and with exposure to elements.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the 360° Occigrip fit system dial and the height adjustment mechanism until a secure and comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the chin strap is properly tensioned.

Difficulty securing sunglasses in the integrated storage

Ensure sunglasses arms are fully retracted and align the temples with the designated slots. Some sunglass designs may fit more securely than others.

Chin strap causes irritation

Adjust the strap length and position of the strap divider so it sits comfortably below the ears. Ensure the buckle is not digging into the skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection with advanced 2Vi and MIPS Air technology.
  • Excellent aerodynamic performance for speed enthusiasts.
  • Effective ventilation system for optimal cooling.
  • Highly adjustable and secure fit system for comfort.
  • Lightweight design minimizes fatigue on long rides.

Cons

  • Premium price point may be a barrier for some riders.
  • Specific aerodynamic benefits are most pronounced at higher speeds.
  • Focus on road cycling may limit its appeal for other disciplines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The helmet is designed for immediate use. Adjust the 360° Occigrip system by turning the dial at the rear to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned and fastened. The height adjustment on the Occigrip system can also be modified for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: This helmet is compatible with most standard cycling eyewear. The integrated eyewear storage is designed to securely hold sunglasses when not in use.

Care: Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's materials. Ensure the helmet is completely dry before storing. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Check regularly for any signs of damage, especially after an impact.
