FAQs

Is the rear light waterproof?

The light is rated IP44, meaning it is protected against solid objects and splashing water, suitable for most riding conditions.

Can I replace the visor if it gets scratched?

Yes, the visor is designed for the ACE variant and can be serviced or replaced if damaged.

How long does it take to charge the rear light?

A full charge takes approximately 2 hours via the integrated micro-USB port.

Does the helmet fit people with long hair?

Absolutely. The height-adjustable adjustment system is specifically designed to create space for a ponytail.

What is the head circumference range for size M?

This model is designed to fit head circumferences between 54 and 58 cm.

Can I remove the magnetic light?

Yes, the rear LED is magnetically attached and can be easily removed for charging or if you prefer to ride without it.

Troubleshooting

Rear light does not turn on

Ensure the light is fully charged via micro-USB and check that the magnetic contact points are clean and free of debris.

Helmet feels loose or wobbly

Re-adjust the Zoom Ace Urban dial at the back and ensure the side straps sit flat against your skin, forming a 'V' shape under your ears.

Visor feels stuck

Check the sliding tracks for any grit or road dust and gently clean them with a damp cloth; do not force the movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated visor provides excellent protection from weather and insects
  • High-visibility rear LED light increases safety in low-light conditions
  • Stylish urban aesthetic suitable for professional or casual use
  • Accommodates ponytails via height-adjustable rear system
  • Secure magnetic buckle simplifies the fastening process

Cons

  • Heavier than traditional road cycling helmets at 430g
  • Requires periodic USB charging for the rear LED

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum safety, use the Zoom Ace Urban dial at the back to tighten the helmet until it sits firmly on your head without causing discomfort. If you have long hair, adjust the rear height mechanism upward to accommodate a ponytail. The visor can be adjusted with a gentle push-up or pull-down motion. For care, wipe the outer polycarbonate shell with a soft cloth and mild soapy water; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the EPS foam. Keep the rear light charged via the micro-USB port; the light is IP44 rated, making it resistant to light splashes during wet-weather cycling. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
