FAQs
What does the WG11 Test certify?
The WG11 Test is a KASK-developed protocol that assesses rotational impact performance. Helmets passing this test offer enhanced protection against rotational forces, which are a common cause of cycling-related head injuries.
How do I clean the Kask Sintesi helmet?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if needed for the exterior. The removable Blue Tech padding can be hand-washed gently with cool water and mild soap. Always allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembly.
What are the available sizes for the Sintesi helmet?
The Kask Sintesi helmet is available in two adult sizes: Medium (52-58 cm) and Large (59-62 cm).
Is this helmet suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the Sintesi features a design focused on ventilation and uses breathable, antistatic Blue Tech padding to help keep the rider cool and comfortable even in warm conditions.
Can I attach an after-market light to this helmet?
The helmet is not designed with specific mounting points for after-market lights. Attaching accessories could compromise the helmet's structural integrity and safety. It is recommended to rely on the integrated reflective elements for visibility.
How often should I replace my Kask Sintesi helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent. Also, inspect for wear and tear regularly.
What is the warranty period for the Sintesi helmet?
KASK typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty periods and terms can be found in the product documentation or by contacting KASK customer support.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the Ergo Fit dial at the back of the helmet. Turn clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. Ensure the chin strap is also correctly adjusted.
Padding feels uncomfortable or causes irritation.
Ensure the Blue Tech padding is correctly installed and dry. If irritation persists, consider hand-washing the padding as per care instructions. If the issue continues, the helmet's fit may not be suitable for your head shape.
Eyewear interferes with the helmet fit.
Try adjusting the position of the helmet on your head. The Ergo Fit system is designed for compatibility, but some very large or uniquely shaped glasses may still cause interference. Experiment with different strap tensions or glasses positions.
Helmet seems noisy or rattles during rides.
Check that all adjustment systems are properly tightened and that no parts are loose. Ensure the padding is correctly seated. Minor noises may occur due to airflow, but significant rattling could indicate an improperly fitted helmet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Adjustment: Place the helmet on your head. Turn the Ergo Fit adjustment dial located at the back of the helmet clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved.
- Chin Strap: Adjust the chin strap so that it is comfortably tight, with no more than one or two fingers fitting between the strap and your chin.
Compatibility
- Eyewear: The Ergo Fit system is designed to accommodate most cycling glasses, minimizing interference with the temples. However, compatibility may vary with very large or uniquely shaped eyewear.
- Head Sizes: Available in Medium (52-58 cm) and Large (59-62 cm) to fit a range of adult head sizes.
Care
- Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Padding: The Blue Tech inner padding can be removed and hand-washed gently with mild soap and cool water. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before reinserting.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on it.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps. If damage is found, or after a significant impact, the helmet should be replaced.
