FAQs
What is MIPS and why is it important?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a slip-plane layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during an angled impact.
Is the rear light waterproof?
The integrated LED light is designed to be weather-resistant, capable of handling typical rainy commutes, though it should not be submerged in water.
Can I replace the padding inside?
Yes, the internal padding can be removed for cleaning. If it becomes worn out, it can be replaced with genuine ABUS replacement pads.
How do I know if the helmet is the right size?
The helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead without obstructing your vision. Use the adjustment wheel until the helmet feels secure but comfortable.
Does this helmet come in multiple sizes?
Yes, ABUS offers the Urban-I 3.0 in various sizes; please check the specific product label or size guide to ensure you choose the correct circumference for your head.
Can I remove the rear light if I don't need it?
The light is integrated into the design for safety. It is recommended to keep it installed to ensure maximum visibility to other road users.
Troubleshooting
Rear LED light will not turn on
Check the battery connection and replace the batteries if the light remains unresponsive.
Helmet feels loose even when tightened
Ensure the adjustment wheel is fully engaged and check that the internal fit pads have not shifted out of position.
Fidlock buckle is difficult to engage
Ensure there is no grit or debris trapped in the magnetic mechanism and align the two halves squarely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, always adjust the `Zoom Ace Urban` wheel until the helmet feels snug without creating pressure points. The straps should sit flat against the skin, forming a 'V' shape just below the earlobes. For care, clean the outer shell with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can degrade the integrity of the PC shell. The inner padding is generally removable and should be hand-washed periodically to keep the helmet fresh. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the materials, and check the LED light functionality before each ride.
