Full details
The ABUS HUD-Y ACE is an ideal choice for urban commuters and city cyclists who prioritize both safety and modern aesthetics. Featuring an integrated push-up visor, a high-power magnetic LED rear light, and robust ActiCage structural reinforcement, it offers exceptional visibility and comfort in busy traffic. While it provides excellent protection and specialized features for everyday use, its weight of 400g is slightly heavier than standard recreational helmets, which is an important consideration for long-distance riders.

Can I remove the visor?

Is this helmet suitable for children?
No, this specific model is designed for adult head sizes (51-55 cm for size S) and is not intended for children.
How do I charge the rear light?
Detach the light from its magnetic mount and use a standard micro-USB cable to connect it to a power source.
What is the IP rating of the rear light?

Troubleshooting
LED rear light does not turn on
Check the micro-USB connection and ensure the battery has been charged for the full 2 hours. Verify the magnetic connection is clean and properly seated.
Helmet feels unstable on the head
Re-adjust the Zoom Ace Urban wheel for a tighter fit and ensure the height-adjustable rear cradle is positioned correctly at the base of your skull.
Visor is difficult to slide
Check the rail for debris or dirt. Gently wipe the slide mechanism with a clean, dry cloth to remove any obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen the rear adjustment wheel fully. Place the helmet on your head and tighten the wheel until it feels snug but comfortable. The height-adjustable rear cradle should be moved to clear your ponytail if needed. For the LED light, ensure it is fully charged via the micro-USB port before your first use; a full charge takes approximately 2 hours.
Care instructions are straightforward: clean the helmet shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that might degrade the polycarbonate shell or the EPS foam. If the helmet is involved in a significant impact, it must be replaced immediately, even if no visible damage is present. The visor can be cleaned using a soft microfiber cloth to prevent scratching.
