FAQs

What does MIPS Air mean for protection?

MIPS Air is a specific layer integrated into the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts, enhancing overall safety.

How do I know if I have the right size helmet?

The helmet should fit snugly and comfortably without excessive pressure points. Measure your head circumference and compare it to the size chart provided by Sweet Protection. The Occigrip system allows for fine-tuning the fit.

Can I clean the helmet with soap and water?

Yes, you can clean the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. The internal padding can also be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Always air dry.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

The Falconer 2Vi MIPS Helmet is primarily engineered for road cycling due to its aerodynamic focus. While it offers advanced protection, it may not provide the same coverage or features desired for more aggressive mountain biking disciplines.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, as its protective properties degrade over time and with exposure to elements or stress.

Can the helmet be used in cold weather?

Yes, the helmet can be worn in cold weather. For added warmth, many cyclists use thin skull caps or headbands underneath the helmet.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points.

Loosen the 360° Occigrip dial slightly. Adjust the height of the Occigrip cradle. Ensure the helmet is centered on your head and not tilted excessively.

Chin strap is uncomfortable or too loose/tight.

Adjust the sliders on the chin strap to form a 'Y' shape below your ears. Tighten or loosen the main chin strap buckle until a snug fit is achieved (one finger gap between strap and chin).

Sunglasses don't fit securely in the integration system.

Ensure the sunglasses arms are fully inserted into the designated slots. Experiment with different angles or eyewear models; compatibility may vary by sunglass design.

Helmet seems to be sliding during a ride.

Tighten the Occigrip system dial further. Ensure the helmet is the correct size for your head and that the cradle is properly positioned.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional impact protection through advanced 2Vi® and MIPS Air technology.
  • Excellent aerodynamic performance for reduced drag and increased speed.
  • Effective cooling via the STACC ventilation system, preventing overheating.
  • Secure and customizable fit with the 360° Occigrip system.
  • Lightweight design minimizes fatigue on long rides.
  • Convenient eyewear storage solution.

Cons

  • Potentially higher price point compared to standard helmets.
  • May offer fewer color options than some competitors.
  • The advanced technologies might require careful handling during maintenance.
  • The aerodynamic focus might slightly compromise ventilation in very slow, technical riding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The helmet comes pre-adjusted for immediate use. To fit, place the helmet on your head and turn the dial on the 360° Occigrip system counter-clockwise until it is loose. Then, turn the dial clockwise to tighten the system around your head until it feels snug but comfortable. Adjust the height of the Occigrip cradle using the integrated mechanism for optimal positioning. Ensure the chin strap is adjusted so that one finger fits snugly between the strap and your chin.

Compatibility: The Falconer 2Vi MIPS Helmet is designed for adult cyclists and is fully compatible with most standard cycling eyewear. Its fit system is engineered to accommodate ponytails.

Care: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's materials. The internal padding can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water, then air-dried thoroughly. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Never use a helmet that has been subjected to a significant impact, as its protective capabilities may be compromised, even if no visible damage is apparent.
