FAQs

What is Mips Air Node technology?

Mips Air Node is an integrated rotational impact protection system designed to reduce the rotational forces transmitted to the brain during certain angled impacts, enhancing safety without adding significant weight.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

The POC Amidal Cycling Helmet is primarily designed for road cycling due to its aerodynamic profile and features. For mountain biking, POC offers helmets with different design characteristics and protection levels.

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

Refer to the sizing guide for your head circumference. The helmet should fit snugly and level on your head, with the 360° fit system adjusted for a secure feel without pressure points.

Can I attach a different brand of rear light?

The helmet is specifically designed for compatibility with Knog rear lights. While other lights might be attachable with modifications, it is not guaranteed to be secure or compatible.

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 materials can degrade over time and impacts can compromise structural integrity.

What does 'CFD tested design' mean?

CFD stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics. This means the helmet's aerodynamic and ventilation performance has been analyzed and optimized using computer simulations.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points.

Readjust the 360° fit system to a looser setting and ensure the straps are correctly positioned.

Straps are uncomfortable or chafe.

Ensure the strap dividers are correctly positioned below the earlobes and adjust the chin strap for a snug, not overly tight, fit.

Helmet doesn't feel secure while riding.

Re-tighten the 360° fit system and ensure the chin strap is properly fastened and adjusted.

Visible damage to the helmet after a fall.

Immediately stop using the helmet and replace it, even if the damage is not obvious. The internal structure may be compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent aerodynamic performance for speed-focused riding.
Advanced Mips Air Node system for enhanced rotational impact protection.
Superior ventilation keeps the rider cool during intense efforts.
Lightweight construction for comfortable long-distance rides.
Secure and customizable fit system for stability.
Modern, streamlined aesthetic.

Cons

May be less suitable for casual or recreational cycling due to its performance-oriented design.
Ventilation, while good, might be less robust than some maximum-airflow helmets.
Focus on aerodynamics might slightly compromise all-around coverage compared to some adventure helmets.
Integration of Mips Air Node may add a small premium to the cost.
Limited accessory options beyond rear light compatibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack the helmet and remove any protective packaging.
Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level.
Adjust the 360° fit system dial at the rear until the helmet feels snug but not overly tight. It should not move excessively when you shake your head.
Adjust the strap dividers so they sit just below your earlobes.
Fasten the chin buckle and adjust the straps for a comfortable, secure fit. A snug fit means you should be able to fit one finger between the strap and your chin.

Compatibility:

The helmet is designed for road cycling.
Features a rear attachment point for compatible Knog lights (sold separately) to enhance visibility.

Care:

Cleaning: Clean the helmet shell and straps using a mild soap and cool water. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials. Allow the helmet to air dry completely before storing or wearing.
Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near heat sources.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or fraying straps. If the helmet has been involved in a significant impact, it should be replaced, even if no visible damage is apparent.
