Product Information

Full details

The Abus Youn-I MIPS helmet is a modern, comfortable, and safe bike helmet designed for children and adults with smaller heads. Its key benefit is the integrated MIPS system, significantly reducing rotational impact forces to protect the brain. A potential caveat is that it's designed for narrower head shapes, so fit should be confirmed. Key features include MIPS technology, in-mold construction for durability, enhanced face protection via a visor-like front edge, deep temple and neck coverage, and an integrated LED rear light for visibility.

FAQs

What does MIPS stand for and how does it help?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a revolutionary technology that helps protect your head by reducing the rotational forces that can occur during an angled impact, potentially reducing the risk of brain damage by up to 40%.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

Measure the circumference of your child's head in centimeters. The helmet size designation (e.g., 50-55 cm) directly corresponds to this measurement. Ensure the helmet sits level and is snug.

Is this helmet suitable for adult women?

Yes, the Youn-I MIPS is designed to appeal to two generations and is suitable for women who have narrower head shapes, in addition to children.

How do I clean the helmet?

Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow it to air dry completely.

How long does the battery for the LED light last, and how is it replaced?

Battery life varies with usage. Refer to the product manual for specific details on battery type and replacement procedures.

What is the warranty period for the Abus Youn-I MIPS helmet?

Please refer to the official Abus warranty information or the retailer for specific warranty details, as these can vary by region and purchase date.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly

Adjust the fit using the Zoom Evo Kids dial at the back. Ensure the chin strap is properly tightened.

LED rear light is not working

Check that the battery is correctly inserted. Replace the battery if necessary, using the type specified in the product manual.

Helmet causes discomfort on the forehead

Ensure the helmet is sitting level on the head and adjust the rear dial for a more even pressure distribution. Check for any potential pressure points caused by hair or accessories.

Strap adjustment is difficult

Ensure the strap dividers are correctly positioned under the ears. Release tension on the chin strap slightly to make adjustments easier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the helmet is the correct size by measuring the wearer's head circumference. The size in centimeters corresponds to the head circumference.
  2. Place the helmet on the head so it sits level.
  3. Adjust the fit using the Zoom Evo Kids dial at the back of the helmet until it feels snug but comfortable.
  4. Fasten the chin strap. The strap should be snug enough that no more than two fingers fit between the strap and the chin.
  5. Check the LED rear light. Ensure the battery is correctly installed and functioning. Refer to the product manual for battery type and replacement instructions.

Compatibility:

  • This helmet is designed for cycling and similar activities. It is not intended for motor sports or other activities with a higher risk of impact.

Care:

  • Clean the helmet with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials.
  • Allow the helmet to air dry completely. Do not expose it to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
  • Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
