Troubleshooting
Rear light will not turn on
Ensure the light is fully charged via micro-USB and check that the magnetic connection to the helmet is clean and free of debris.
Helmet feels loose even when tightened
Check if the adjustment system wheel is engaging properly and verify that the helmet size matches your head circumference (S: 51-55cm, M: 54-58cm, L: 57-61cm).
Visor is stiff to push up or down
Check the track for dirt or grit; clean with a damp cloth and ensure no obstructions are blocking the movement mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, start by placing it level on your head and using the rear adjustment wheel to tighten until it is snug but comfortable. Ensure the height-adjustable cradle is set to your preferred position, especially if you plan to wear your hair in a ponytail. The strap system uses the TriVider non-height-adjustable distributor; adjust the side straps so they sit flush against your face, forming a V-shape under your ears.
For care, wipe the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. The visor should be cleaned with water to avoid scratching the finish. Ensure the rear light is charged via micro-USB regularly, especially during winter months when used frequently. Do not use chemical solvents on the EPS foam or the shell, as these can degrade the material integrity.
