FAQs
Is this helmet MIPS equipped?
This model focuses on the integrated hard-shell and fit systems; please check specific packaging labels to confirm if your specific MPN includes MIPS technology.
Can I remove the visor?
Yes, the Goggleguide visor is designed to be adjustable and can be removed or repositioned based on your preference.
How often should I replace this helmet?
You should replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years under normal use, or immediately following any significant crash or impact.
Is the padding machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash the pads in cool water with mild soap and let them air dry to maintain their shape and effectiveness.
Does this fit different goggle brands?
Yes, the Goggleguide system is compatible with a wide range of mountain bike goggles, allowing for easy placement and secure storage.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels unstable or wobbles
Ensure the rear Float Fit dial is tightened sufficiently and check that the side straps are evenly adjusted.
Sweat dripping onto glasses
Verify that the Sweat Guide padding is correctly seated and free of debris or salt buildup that may impede moisture wicking.
Visor is loose or rattles
Tighten the adjustment screws located at the pivot points of the Goggleguide visor system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen the Float Fit dial completely. Place the helmet on your head and tighten the dial until it feels snug but comfortable. Adjust the No-Twist Tri-Glides so the Y-junction of the straps sits just below your ears. To clean the helmet, use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the outer shell and interior pads. Never use harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the integrity of the protective materials. Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always replace the unit after any significant impact.
