FAQs
How do I use the Airfit® system for the first time?
Put the helmet on. Locate the inflation bulbs inside the helmet lining. Press and hold the inflation bulb to add air to the cheek pads until you achieve a snug, comfortable fit. To release air, press and hold the release valve.
Can I replace the Exolon® shield with a different type?
Yes, the ADF-9000 features a tool-free system that allows you to easily remove the Exolon® shield and replace it with goggles for off-road riding. You can also remove the visor screws by hand to detach the shield.
Is the helmet suitable for cold weather riding?
The helmet offers protection from the elements. The SpeedView™ sun visor and the main Exolon® shield help block wind and debris. For extreme cold, additional thermal gear for the neck and face is recommended.
What is the purpose of the emergency release system?
The emergency release system uses textile loops on the cheek pads. In the event of an accident, medical professionals can use these loops to remove the cheek pads safely while the helmet is still on the rider's head, reducing the risk of further injury.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The interior liner is typically removable. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat before reinserting it into the helmet.
Is the SpeedView™ sun visor tinted?
The SpeedView™ is a foldable sun visor designed to reduce glare. While it provides shade, it is not heavily tinted like a separate pair of sunglasses, allowing for use in various light conditions.
What makes the Exolon® shield shatterproof?
The Exolon® material is specifically engineered to be shatterproof, meaning it is designed to resist breaking into dangerous fragments upon impact, enhancing rider safety.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose initially.
Adjust the Airfit® system by inflating or deflating the cheek pads using the integrated bulbs and release valve until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved.
Visor fogs up excessively.
Ensure the anti-fog coating on the SpeedView™ sun visor is clean. Consider using an anti-fog spray or wipe for added protection, especially in humid conditions. Ensure the main shield is properly sealed.
Shield is difficult to remove or reattach.
Make sure the visor screws are fully loosened by hand for removal and properly aligned and tightened by hand for reattachment. Consult the manual if resistance is met.
Difficulty fitting goggles.
While designed for wide compatibility, ensure your specific goggle model is properly aligned with the helmet's eye-opening. Some very large frames might require minor adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To achieve a custom fit, utilize the Airfit® system. Locate the small inflation bulbs within the helmet liner. Gently press and hold the bulbs to inflate the cheek pads until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. To deflate, press and hold the release valve. For shield or goggle conversion, locate the visor screws on the sides; loosen them by hand to remove the shield. The tool-free system allows for quick goggle installation. Ensure all components are securely fastened after any adjustment.
Compatibility: The helmet is designed to accommodate most aftermarket goggles due to its wide eye-opening. The Airfit® system's inflatable cheek pads are compatible with the emergency release system.
Care: Clean the helmet's exterior and visor with mild soap and water or a dedicated helmet cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials. The interior liner can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent. Always allow the helmet to air dry completely away from direct heat sources before reassembling.
