Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, the helmet must be fitted correctly to the rider's head shape; this model is available in specific oval and round internal profiles. To adjust the harness, pull the straps gently until the helmet sits level on the head without sliding forward or backward. Regularly check that the buckles are secure before every ride. For care, keep the suede finish clean by using a soft brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid storing the helmet in extreme temperatures, such as a hot car, as this can degrade the protective materials. Always use the provided presentation box when not in use to prevent accidental impact damage.
