Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a secure fit, always fasten the double D-ring chinstrap firmly before riding. The helmet comes with a removable 3D liner; to clean, gently hand wash the pads with mild soap and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. To maintain the CPB-1 visor, clean it only with mild soapy water and a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the anti-scratch coating. Ensure all air inlets remain free of debris to keep the ventilation system functioning correctly. Regularly inspect the shell for any deep scratches or impacts, as these may compromise the structural integrity provided by the AIM technology.
