Product Information
Full details
The ABUS Skurb city helmet is an ideal choice for daily commuters, skaters, and BMX riders who prioritize a balance of urban style and robust head protection. Built with a shock-absorbing hard foam core and a tough polycarbonate shell, it offers reliable safety while maintaining excellent airflow through its 12-vent design. While it provides a highly customizable fit for diverse head shapes and hairstyles, some users may find the external styling leans more toward a casual, chunky profile compared to streamlined road-cycling helmets.

FAQs
Can I wear this helmet for road racing?

Does it come in different sizes?

Is the helmet height adjustable?

How do I know when to replace the helmet?
You should replace your helmet after any significant impact, or every 3 to 5 years depending on usage and wear, even if it looks undamaged.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when tightened.
Adjust the rear height setting to ensure the fit system is cradling the base of your skull properly before tightening the rear dial.
The adjustment dial is difficult to turn.
Check for debris or dirt caught in the mechanism; gently clean with compressed air or a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, place it on your head and use the rear dial to adjust the fit until it is snug but comfortable; ensure the helmet sits level, covering the forehead without blocking your vision. To care for the helmet, clean the outer shell with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can weaken the structural integrity of the polycarbonate shell. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always replace it immediately if it sustains a significant impact, even if there is no visible damage.
