FAQs
Is the visor removable?
Yes, the 4-position visor can be adjusted for your preference or removed if you prefer a sleeker look.
Can I wear glasses with this helmet?
The helmet is designed for high compatibility with both mountain bike goggles and standard cycling sunglasses.
What does MIPS do?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain angled impacts.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and choose the size that falls within the manufacturer's provided range (e.g., S 52-56cm, L 58-62cm).
Is the camera mount safe to use?
Yes, it is a breakaway mount, meaning it is designed to snap away in the event of an impact to reduce the risk of injury.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is present.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbles during rides
Adjust the rear Float Fit dial and ensure the side strap splitters are positioned correctly under the ears for a balanced hold.
Sweat dripping into eyes
Ensure the internal padding is correctly seated; the Sweat Guide feature is designed to channel moisture away from the forehead.
Camera mount feels loose
Check that the breakaway mount is clicked fully into its housing and that the camera base is compatible with the standard mount interface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety and comfort, start by loosening the Float Fit dial fully. Place the helmet on your head and tighten until it feels snug without creating pressure points. The rear cradle should sit comfortably above the nape of your neck. For goggle users, lift the visor to its highest position and ensure the elastic strap sits securely within the rear grip notch. For the camera mount, ensure the device is securely clicked into the breakaway slot before beginning your ride. To clean your helmet, use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning solvents or high-heat drying methods, as these can compromise the integrity of the polycarbonate shell and EPS foam. Regularly check the internal pads for wear and wash them by hand if they become saturated with salt and dirt after heavy rides.
