FAQs
Is this helmet safe for downhill mountain biking?

Can I remove the visor?
Yes, the Flying Bridge™ visor is designed to be removed or adjusted as needed.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is recommended to replace any helmet after a significant impact, or every 3-5 years due to natural material degradation.
What standards does this helmet meet?
It meets CPSC Bicycle, CE EN1078, ASTM F1952 DH, and ASTM F2032 BMX certifications.
Can I wash the Ionic+™ liner in a machine?
Hand washing the liner with mild soap is recommended to preserve the integrity of the silver metalized yarn.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to snap together
Ensure no debris or mud is inside the magnetic mechanism; clean with a soft brush and dry thoroughly.
Helmet feels loose or wobbly during movement
Adjust the chin straps and ensure the rear retention system (if applicable) is snug; re-check the helmet size against your head circumference.
Odor buildup despite antimicrobial liner
Remove the interior padding and hand wash with mild detergent; air dry completely before reinserting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated MIPS technology provides advanced rotational protection
- Lightweight design reduces neck fatigue during long sessions
- Fidlock buckle is highly convenient for quick adjustments
- Antimicrobial lining effectively fights sweat and odors
- ASTM-certified for both Downhill (DH) and BMX use
Cons
- Not suitable for full-face requirements beyond park and trail usage
- Fixed ventilation layout may feel warm in extremely humid conditions
- Limited adjustability compared to more expensive professional race helmets
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, the helmet must be fitted properly to your head size. Position the helmet so that it sits level on your head, covering your forehead without obstructing your vision. The strap should be adjusted so the Fidlock buckle sits comfortably under the chin.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth to clean the shell and liner. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
- Maintenance: Periodically check all strap anchors and visor screws for tightness.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade the protective materials over time.
- Replacement: Always replace the helmet after any significant impact, as internal protective structures may be damaged even if the exterior appears intact.
