Product Information
Full details
The Oxford Raven Road Helmet is an excellent choice for fitness enthusiasts, commuters, and competitive cyclists who need a reliable, aerodynamic, and breathable head protector. Its standout benefit is the combination of a lightweight in-mold design with high-volume ventilation, though riders should note that the sizing options are limited to two ranges, so careful measurement is required to ensure a perfect fit.

FAQs
What safety standard does this helmet meet?
The Oxford Raven Road Helmet conforms to CE EN1078 safety standards.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows. If you measure 54-58cm, choose S/M; for 58-61cm, choose L/XL.
Can I replace the internal pads?
Yes, the internal padding is designed to be removable for cleaning or replacement if worn.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
While it offers protection, it is optimized for road and commuting environments and does not provide the extended rear-head coverage found on specific mountain bike helmets.
Does the helmet come with a visor?
No, the Oxford Raven is a dedicated road-style helmet designed for aerodynamics, and it does not feature a visor.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when the dial is tightened.
Check if the side strap Y-junctions are adjusted correctly; ensure the helmet is sitting level on your head rather than tilted too far back.
Excessive wind noise while riding.
Adjust the strap tension under the chin and ensure the straps are lying flat against the face to minimize vibration and drag.
Dial-fit system is difficult to turn.
Check for debris or dirt caught in the mechanism; use a soft, dry brush to clear the gear teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, first place it level on your head—not tilted back. Rotate the rear dial until the cradle holds the helmet firmly against your scalp. Adjust the side straps so the Y-junction sits just below your ears, ensuring the chin strap is snug but comfortable enough for you to open your mouth slightly.
Compatibility: This helmet is designed for standard road, fitness, and commuter cycling. It fits head circumferences between 54cm-58cm (S/M) and 58cm-61cm (L/XL).
Care Instructions:
- Clean the shell using only a soft cloth and mild soapy water.
- Do not use chemical solvents or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the integrity of the shell.
- Remove the comfort padding periodically for hand washing and air drying.
- Inspect the straps and buckle for wear before every ride.
