FAQs

Is the rear light waterproof?

The light is IP44-certified, meaning it is protected against water splashes from all directions, making it suitable for riding in light rain.

Can I remove the LED light?

Yes, the rear light is magnetic and easily detachable for charging or if you prefer to ride without it.

How do I wash the padding?

You can remove the interior pads and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely air-dried before reattaching.

Does the helmet accommodate ponytails?

Yes, the fit system and shell design are specifically shaped to accommodate ponytails comfortably.

How many light modes are available?

There are four modes: Steady, Power, Pulse, and Flash.

Troubleshooting

LED light does not turn on

Verify the unit is fully charged and that the magnetic contacts are clean and free of debris.

Helmet feels loose during movement

Adjust the Zoom Spin dial at the back of the helmet until secure, and ensure the side strap splitters are positioned correctly under the ears.

Light keeps falling off

Check that the magnetic mounting base is free from mud or obstructions that prevent a solid connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated LED rear light significantly boosts rider visibility
  • Excellent ventilation system keeps the head cool
  • Precise adjustment with the Zoom Spin system
  • Ponytail-friendly design for varied hairstyles
  • Durable In-Mold construction with Acti-Cage reinforcement

Cons

  • Rear light requires manual charging
  • Heavier than non-LED road-specific racing helmets
  • Limited to one rear light mounting position

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your helmet, loosen the Zoom Spin dial completely before placing it on your head. Once on, tighten the dial until the fit is snug but comfortable, ensuring the chin strap is centered and adjusted so the buckle sits just below the jawline. The rear LED should be checked before every ride to ensure sufficient battery levels; simply detach the magnetic unit to connect it to a power source. For care, keep the helmet away from extreme heat sources like car interiors in summer. The interior pads are removable and washable; use lukewarm water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely before reinserting them.
