How to use
To use the helmet, place it level on your head, ensuring it covers the forehead without obstructing your vision. Adjust the rear retention system by turning the dial until the fit is snug but comfortable. Fasten the chin strap and adjust the side dividers so they sit just below your ears. Ensure the strap is tight enough to keep the helmet stable but loose enough to allow for comfortable breathing and jaw movement. Always check that the helmet does not shift significantly when you shake your head.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify your head circumference to ensure the M/L size is appropriate for your fit
- Consider the intended riding environment to ensure the aerodynamic design meets your needs

Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the shell and internal padding. After any significant impact, the helmet must be replaced, even if no damage is visible, as its protective capabilities may be compromised. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals to maintain the integrity of the materials.
