Full details

It offers high-end safety features like 360 Turbine Technology at an accessible price point, though its full-face design may feel slightly restrictive for casual flat-ground pedaling compared to open-face alternatives.

FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for downhill racing?
Yes, it is ASTM F1952–10 certified, which is the standard required for downhill mountain bike racing.
Can I remove the visor?
Yes, the visor is designed to be removable and is also intended to break away during an impact.
How often should I replace this helmet?
You should replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years under normal use, or immediately after any significant impact.
Is the helmet compatible with neck braces?
Yes, the shell profile is specifically designed to be compatible with a wide range of neck braces.
What is the best way to clean the liners?
Remove the liners and hand-wash them with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Air dry completely before reinserting them into the helmet.
Does 360 Turbine Technology really help?
Yes, this technology uses small, energy-absorbing discs that move in all directions to reduce rotational forces to the brain during a crash.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbly
Ensure the chin strap is tightened correctly. If it still moves, consider using thicker cheek pads to adjust the interior volume.
Difficulty putting the helmet on
The full-face design is meant to be snug for safety. Pull the cheek pads outward slightly using the strap ends while sliding it over the head.
Visor keeps shifting
Check the side screws to ensure they are tightened to the correct tension, but do not overtighten, as this may prevent the breakaway feature from working.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-level safety certification (ASTM F1952–10)
- Effective 360 Turbine rotational impact protection
- Excellent breathability for a full-face design
- Secure and reliable DD-ring closure
- Easy to clean with removable liners
Cons
- DD-ring closure takes longer to secure than buckles
- Fixed full-face design can be hot during long summer climbs
- Limited to specific head shapes for optimal fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best protection, the helmet must be fitted properly: position the helmet so it sits level on the head, not tilted back. Tighten the DD-ring strap until it is snug but comfortable, ensuring the chin strap sits close against the jaw. For maintenance, remove the internal padding regularly after sweaty rides and hand-wash it using a mild detergent; air dry only. If the helmet sustains a significant impact, the EPS foam may be compromised, and the helmet should be replaced even if there is no visible exterior damage. Check the visor screws periodically to ensure they are secure but allow the breakaway function to work as intended.
