Troubleshooting
Visor is stiff or difficult to lower
Check the pivot mechanism for dust or grit. Gently clean the hinges and apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
Helmet feels loose during riding
Adjust the micrometric buckle strap for a tighter fit. If the shell size remains loose, ensure the inner padding is properly seated or consider replacing the liner if worn.
Interior smells or retains moisture
Remove the washable synthetic leather liner and clean it according to the care instructions to remove sweat and oils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, always measure your head circumference above your eyebrows to choose the correct size according to Bell's sizing chart. To operate the micrometric buckle, insert the strap into the housing until you feel a comfortable, secure tension against your jaw. Care for the helmet involves cleaning the outer shell with a soft cloth and mild soap. The interior synthetic leather liner can be detached and washed using cold water and mild detergent; ensure it is completely air-dried before re-installation. Avoid using abrasive chemicals on the visor to maintain the clarity of the Class 1 optics.
