FAQs

What is MIPS and how does it enhance safety?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety technology designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It works by allowing a slip layer inside the helmet to move independently of the head, absorbing some of the energy that could otherwise be transferred.

How do I determine the correct size for my Abus AirBreaker 2.0 MIPS?

Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by Abus to select the appropriate helmet size (e.g., S, M, L).

Can I wear a cycling cap or skullcap under this helmet?

Yes, you can wear a thin cycling cap or skullcap. However, ensure it does not interfere with the helmet's fit or the effectiveness of the MIPS system. A poor fit can compromise safety.

What is the lifespan of this helmet?

Helmets typically have a lifespan of 3-5 years from the date of manufacture, or sooner if it has been involved in an impact. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

The Abus AirBreaker 2.0 MIPS is specifically designed for road cycling. While it offers excellent protection, its design prioritizes aerodynamics and ventilation for road use. For mountain biking, a helmet with more coverage and potentially different features might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the internal padding?

The internal padding is often removable. Check the manual for specific instructions. Generally, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points

Re-adjust the retention system using the smooth adjustment dial. Ensure the helmet is sitting level on your head, not tilted too far forward or back. Consult the manual for specific fitting guidelines.

Straps are uncomfortable or chafe

Adjust the Y-splitters below the ears to ensure they lie flat against the head. Re-adjust the chin strap for a snug, but not overly tight, fit.

Ventilation seems insufficient

Ensure the air vents are not obstructed by hair or accessories. For optimal cooling, maintain a consistent riding pace that allows for airflow through the vents.

Helmet makes noise when riding

Check that all adjustment points are secured and that there are no loose parts. Ensure the helmet is properly fitted and not shifting during motion.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the helmet shell and straps with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the materials.

  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or wear on the straps. If the helmet has been subjected to a significant impact, it should be replaced, even if no visible damage is apparent.
