Product Information
Full details
The Zefal Z Eye Mirror is designed for trekking and leisure cyclists who prioritize situational awareness on the road without needing to turn their heads. This lightweight, helmet-mounted accessory offers a wide, convex field of view to help you monitor traffic approaching from behind. While it significantly improves safety during group rides or commutes, users should be aware that it requires a period of adjustment to get used to the depth perception of a convex mirror compared to direct line-of-sight viewing.

FAQs
Will this mirror fit my specific helmet?
Yes, the Zefal Z Eye uses universal Velcro straps designed to accommodate the varied vent shapes found on almost all modern cycling helmets.
Does the mirror affect helmet safety?
No, the mirror is designed to break away or flex during an impact and does not interfere with the helmet's structural integrity.
Can I use this on either side of the helmet?
Yes, the mounting system and mirror articulation allow it to be placed on either the left or right side of your helmet.
How do I clean the mirror surface?
Use a damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive paper towels, which can scratch the convex lens.
Is the mirror view magnified?
No, it uses a convex lens, which provides a wider field of view, though objects will appear slightly smaller and further away than they truly are.
Troubleshooting
Mirror keeps shifting out of position
Check the pivot tension screws and tighten them slightly using a small screwdriver or hex tool.
Image appears shaky during riding
Ensure the Velcro strap is pulled tight against the helmet shell and the mirror arm is fully seated in the mounting base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the side of your helmet shell to ensure the adhesive/strap contact points are free of grit.
- Thread the provided Velcro straps through the vents of your helmet and secure the base plate firmly.
- Attach the mirror arm to the base plate and adjust the pivot joints until the mirror captures a clear view of the road behind you.
- Tighten the joints once the perfect position is found to prevent it from moving during the ride.
Care:
- Clean the convex lens with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap or lens cleaner to prevent scratching.
- Periodically check the tension of the adjustment screws to ensure they haven't loosened due to vibration.
- Remove the unit if storing your helmet in a tight gear bag to prevent accidental breakage.
