FAQs
What is Mips® technology?
Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts.
Is this helmet suitable for general trail riding, or only aggressive downhill?
While certified for downhill (ASTM-F1952), its balance of protection, light weight, and ventilation makes it suitable for a wide range of trail riding, including all-mountain and enduro.
How do I clean the helmet's interior padding?
The interior padding is typically removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely.
Can I replace the visor if it breaks?
Replacement visors are usually available from the manufacturer or authorized retailers. Consult the product manual or manufacturer's website for replacement parts.
What does the ASTM-F1952 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the helmet meets rigorous safety standards specifically for downhill mountain biking, including impact and chin bar strength.
How can I ensure the best fit?
Proper fit is crucial. The helmet should sit level on your head, cover your forehead, and feel snug without pressure points. Use the included extra pads to fine-tune the fit.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the fit using the included additional pad sets. Ensure the straps are correctly tensioned for a secure fit without pinching.
Goggles do not fit well with the visor
Experiment with the 3-position adjustable visor to find the optimal setting that accommodates your goggles without interference.
Reduced ventilation effectiveness
Ensure all ventilation ports are clear of debris. Check that the internal padding is not obstructing airflow.
Action camera mount is loose
Re-attach the mount, ensuring it clicks securely into place. If the issue persists, consider using a different mounting solution.
