FAQs

What does MIPS mean and how does it improve safety?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It's a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts, significantly enhancing safety.

Is this helmet suitable for adults?

The Youn-I MIPS is designed primarily for children and women with smaller head sizes (52-57 cm). It may not fit larger adult heads.

How do I clean the helmet?

Clean the helmet with a soft cloth, water, and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Allow it to air dry completely.

What is the lifespan of this helmet?

Helmets have a recommended lifespan of 3-5 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any significant impact, regardless of visible damage.

How do I replace the battery for the LED light?

The LED light typically uses a CR2032 button cell battery. Refer to the helmet's manual for specific instructions on accessing and replacing the battery.

What does 'In-Mold' construction mean?

In-Mold construction means the outer polycarbonate shell is fused directly to the shock-absorbing EPS foam liner during the molding process, creating a stronger, lighter, and more integrated helmet.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, the Abus Youn-I MIPS helmet is available in various colors, including White, Green, and Black.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose

Adjust the Zoom Evo Kids dial for a tighter fit. Ensure the chin strap is properly fastened and adjusted.

LED tail light not working

Check and replace the button cell battery. Ensure the battery is inserted correctly with the positive (+) side facing outwards.

Strap adjustment is difficult

Ensure the adjustment dial is clean and free from debris. Consult the product manual for specific instructions on strap adjustment.

Helmet seems too small or too large

Verify the head circumference (52-57 cm) is correct for the user. If outside this range, this model may not be suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

1.

Adjust the Zoom Evo Kids dial at the back of the helmet to fit your child's head circumference (52-57 cm). Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with no excessive pressure points.

2.

Fasten the chin strap, ensuring it lies flat against the neck and can accommodate two fingers between the strap and the chin.

3.

Check that the LED tail light is functioning. It typically requires a button cell battery (e.g., CR2032), which may need to be installed or replaced according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  • Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks or dents. If damage is found, the helmet should be replaced immediately, even if the damage is not visible externally.
