FAQs

What is MIPS?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, reducing rotational force in an impact.

Can I adjust the visor height?

Yes, the Flowline features a 2-way adjustable screwless visor that allows you to change the angle for better visibility or trail coverage.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

The helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead without obstructing your vision. It should not move significantly when you shake your head.

Is this helmet suitable for racing?

While it is designed for general trail riding and enthusiasts, the MIPS technology provides high-level safety suitable for most non-professional competitive trail events.

How often should I replace my helmet?

You should replace your helmet if it has been involved in a significant impact, or every 3-5 years due to the natural degradation of materials from UV exposure and environmental factors.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose or wobbly while riding

Tighten the rear retention dial and ensure the height settings are adjusted so the cradle sits securely under the base of your skull.

Visor is rattling or feels loose

Ensure the screwless visor is fully snapped into the mounting slots. Push firmly on both sides until you hear a click.

Sweat buildup in padding

Remove the inner pads and hand wash them with mild detergent, then air dry completely before re-installing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated MIPS technology for advanced safety
  • Lightweight and breathable with 14 ventilation ports
  • Adjustable fit system allows for personalized comfort
  • Minimalist and modern aesthetic suitable for all riders
  • Robust full-wrap construction for increased durability

Cons

  • Fixed visor screwless design may feel less secure than bolted options
  • Limited size range tailored specifically for children/small fits
  • Padding is not as plush as high-end premium models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve an optimal fit, first loosen the rear adjustment dial before placing the helmet on your head. Rotate the dial until the fit is snug but comfortable, ensuring the helmet sits level and does not slide forward or backward. Adjust the height of the retention system using the three available settings to sit just above the nape of your neck. To clean your helmet, use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents or chemicals, which can damage the structural integrity of the shell. Periodically inspect the retention straps and internal padding for signs of wear or degradation and replace if damaged.
