FAQs

What makes the Mips Air Node system different from standard Mips?

Mips Air Node is a low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational forces. It's integrated into the liner for better ventilation and comfort compared to some other Mips implementations.

How do I clean the helmet's interior?

The Iconic+® liner is removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the helmet.

Can I wear sunglasses with this helmet?

Yes, the helmet features a 3-position adjustable visor that is compatible with most sunglasses and goggles. There is also a specific storage solution for sunglasses.

Is this helmet suitable for downhill mountain biking?

The Speedframe Pro Mips offers advanced protection features including Mips and a dual-density EPS liner, making it a strong option for trail and enduro riding. For extreme downhill, always ensure it meets specific sanctioning body requirements if applicable.

What is the benefit of the BOA Fit System?

The BOA Fit System allows for precise, micro-adjustments to the helmet's fit using a dial, which can be operated with one hand, even while wearing gloves, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit on the go.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

A correct fit means the helmet sits level on your head, covers your forehead without tilting back, and the retention system cups the base of your skull. The BOA system should provide a snug feel without pressure points, and the straps should form a 'Y' below your earlobes.

What does the Virginia Tech 5-star rating signify?

A Virginia Tech 5-star helmet rating indicates that the helmet has performed exceptionally well in impact testing conducted by Virginia Tech's biomechanics and transport safety lab, signifying a high level of safety.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose or unstable during rides.

Ensure the BOA dial is tightened sufficiently. Check that the retention system is correctly positioned around the base of your skull. Re-adjust as needed for a secure but comfortable fit.

Visor is difficult to adjust or position.

Gently loosen the visor screws slightly, adjust the visor to the desired position, and then re-tighten the screws evenly. Ensure no obstructions are preventing movement.

Liner feels damp or uncomfortable after a ride.

Ensure the liner is fully dry before use. If it retains odors, wash it according to care instructions. Consider a second liner for frequent riders.

Buckle is hard to open or close.

Check for any debris around the Fidlock mechanism. Ensure the connection points are clean and properly aligned. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust Fit: Loosen the BOA dial by turning it counter-clockwise. Place the helmet on your head and tighten the dial clockwise until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the helmet sits level and the retention system cradles the back of your head.
  2. Visor Adjustment: Use the side screws to adjust the visor to your preferred position, ensuring it doesn't obstruct your vision or interfere with goggles/sunglasses.

Compatibility:

  • The helmet is designed to be compatible with most standard MTB goggles and sunglasses. The visor can be positioned to accommodate eyewear.
  • The BOA Fit System and Fidlock Snap buckle are designed for use with or without gloves.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Liner: The Iconic+® liner is removable. Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
  • Cleaning the Shell: Wipe the helmet shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using solvents, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or damaged.
